Things One would rather have left Unsaid.—Tomlinson. "Good-bye, Miss Eleanora——"

Miss Eleanora. "But you've already said good-bye to me, Mr. Tomlinson?"

Tomlinson (who is always ready with some pretty speech). "Have I, really? Well, one can't do a pleasant thing too often, you know!"


Feline Amenities.—Fair Hostess (who is proud of her popularity). "Yes; I flatter myself there's not a door-bell in the whole street that's so often rung as mine!"

Fair Visitor. "Well, dear, I had to ring it five times!"


Bachelor Housekeeping.—Mr. Brown. "Pray, Jane, what on earth is the reason I am kept waiting for my breakfast in this way?"

Jane. "Please, sir, the rolls isn't come, and there's no bread in the house!"
