WHAT IS THE PRICE OF DUCKS "A
gentleman was asked, What is the price
of ducks o. when he confessed he could
not tell He had been out that very day
with his wife, and she had purchased no
fewer than three ducks. Firstly, there
was "duck of dresss' secondly, n
/" duck ofa parasol; :" and thirdly. duck
of a bonnet" The first was made of Ge-
noa velvet, the second was trimed with
Vaenciennes lace, and the third had a
magnificent bunch of ostrich feathers
The united cost Of these precious ducks
was 1915, SO that each " duck" had stood
him no less than $s9l and few shilinrs.
He supposed there "ducks" to be had in
market cheaper, but for himself, whenev-
er he hears his wife mention the word
" duck" ho always rembIes from head to
foot, for he knows at once that il means
something inordinatoly expensive.
