Scene: \ railway compartment.
Madame, do you object to smoking ?"
No reply. The question is repeated
with a similar result. Thinking the
lady deaf, the male passenger made a
pretense of lighting his cigar.
"Do it if You dare" exclaimed Ma
dame Potin, with an nnearthly CLEAN
in her eye.
Just to see what'll happen, here
goes!" he said, stung by the lady's
tone. And he applied the match.
The lady bounced from the seat, and,
snatching the cigar from his lips, threw
it out the window.
"There is compartment for smok-
ers," she Kissed.
The gentleman, quite taken back,
thought it best to be quiet, while
secretl~ bemoaning his lost havana.
Five minutes silence. Madame Potin
flushed with her triumph Suddenly
the lady's muff appeared instinct with
life, and presently little poodle put out
his head to take breath of air. The
gentleman arose, smiling affablv, seized
the little dog by the tail and tenderly
dropped it out of the carriage window,
saying in dulcet tones. Madame, there
