COnssndrusass,

Why is very pretty fashionable girl
like a thrifty housekeeper? Because she
makes great hustle about small waist.
Why fare ladies' dresses about the
waist like a parochial meeting? Because
there is gathering there, and always
more hustle than necessary.
What game does lady's hustle re-
semble? Back CANNON.
Why does girl lace herself so tight
to 90 out to dinner? Because she hears
much stress laid upon "Grace before
meat"
I'VE hope, however, no one ever
speaks of young ladies being tight" at
dinner.
Why are women's corsets the greatest
spectators in the bills of mortality :?
Because they contract-to kill
Why are spectacles like hay and corn ?
Because they are for age.
What is the oldest tree in America !?
The elder-tree.
IT'S neither fish, flesh nor bone, yet
