1uo 4IoTtHgCOb Enterprise gets off
the following: A joke too good to
keep is told on lady residing in a
neighboring town. She is very absent
minded at times, owing to the fact it is
believed, that she carries the cares of a
large and prosperous business. She
had run out of worsted hoods for bow
babies, and meant to order some most
~ white but instead, her order read.
: dOz. boy babies, mostly white" The
dealer had no idea that his fair patron
desired the order filled as it read, but I
could not divine what she wanted, and
mad to return the order for an interpre- {
tation. She at once told him what
she did want. A big difference, truly, i
between hoods for dozen boy babies,
and dozen boy babies mostly white. " 4
