EXPLAINED.
"Why, Mandie, what are you doing with your doll?"
"I'm going to take her to the house show."
"But why do you have her done up in that extraordinary way?"
"Because I saw in the paper that all the best people went in a private box."
Mamma. "Why, Harry, did your teacher send you home?"
Harry. "Yes; she wanted to give me a set of books a fellow used last term, and I wouldn't take them, 'cause he got all there was to learn out of them."
Teacher. "Why, George, John tells me you knocked him down. Did you?"
George (happily remembering one of his lessons). "No, marm; it was the force of gravitation that made him fall. I only pushed him."
