not like to tell my age,not that I have any
objection to its being known; but don't
want it published in all the newspapers.
"Well," said the witty Mrs s., IL will tell
you how you can avoid it. lou have
heard the objections to all hearsay evi-

when you were born, and all you know Of
lit is by hearsay." The ruse took, and
