fantile admirers should be warned by an
episode at q seaside resort last summer.
An engaging masculine of years be-
came on exceedingly good terms with
the belle of their particular hotel, q girl
about 20 years his senior. One day the
charmer asked the swain to 60 bathing,
and after the bath, as they returned to
their bath houses, the small man sug-
gested a race to see who could dress
first. They entered the bath houses,
which adjoined, and in short time q
youthful treble called: "Miss Ethel, oh,
Miss Ethel, I've got my stockings on.
A low contralto voice answered: eyes,
Robbie, so have l."
After short pause the irrepressible
again called: "Miss Ethel, I've got my
shoes on"
Again came the answer: eyes dear, so
have l."
Again a pause-then a triumphant
voice shrilly proclaimed: "Miss Ethel,
I've got my pants on"
The answering silence was oppressive.

to his congregation: ''Weel friends, the
kirk is urgently in need of siller, and

1t happened in Cornwall according to
report that a pastor complained that
his congregation had the habit Of look
ing round at late comers. and, while he
thought it natural enough, he saw that
it disturbed their religious duties, and
so determined to announce by name
those persons who came in late. Ac-
cordingly he several times paused dur
ing the prayer and said: "Alr. S., with
his wife and daughter" then again,
"Mr. c. and w. D. This went on for
