THE INTRODUCTION.

THE CARVING FORK. "Mr. Pitcher, allow me to introduce you to my friend Mr. Bunny."

THE PITCHER (bowing low). "Happy to meet you, Mr. Bunny."


A WISE BOY.

Helen (awed). "Oh, Tommie, aren't you awfully afraid of the bears they tell about up here?"

Tommie. "Naw! I'm not afraid of the bears anybody tells about. I'm only afraid of the bears I see."
