"Good morning, Cynthia," said the lady. "Where are you working now?"
"I isn't workin' nowhere now, ma'am," replied Cynthia, coyly; "I'se capering for a congressman."
WIFE—"I wish I knew what to do with this skirt. It's good, but somewhat out of style."
HUSBAND—"Why don't you give it to the laundress?"
WIFE—"Don't be funny, George. She's a good laundress, and I wouldn't offend her for the world."
MRS. ECKS—"That's a shocking clumsy maid who served us. And Mrs. Wise said she had such a treasure."
MRS. WYE—"This maid is one she hired for the occasion. She has the treasure locked in her room for fear one of the guests might steal her."
