The Flirting Widow.

Jock Anderson was industriously
wooing a wealthy widow, who was
fair, fat, and forty, with every prospect
of successful issue, for his affections
were abundantly returned. But in an
evil moment one of Jocks chums
mentioned that gentle hint, suggest.
ing filtration on the part Of the lady.
would constitute piece Of Irresistible
fiattery. This idea Jock put immedi.
ately into practice by writing long
amorous letter which. no doubt. would
have captured both the widow and her
money had he punctuated properly.
This is the sentence that settled
poor Jocks chance:
Il consider you brutal and jealous
though you may fancy me a little ad.
dicted to flirting"
On perusing the above sentence the
widow Immediately visited Jock; she
stormed at him, swore at him, and
eventually swooned. Jock explained,
and punctuated the Objectionable sen.
tence with tadpoles, making 1t read:
Il consider you, brutal and Jealous
though you may fancy me, little ad-
dicted to flirting"
But nothing could induce the widow
to see aught but slight on herself
and her stoutness, punctuate as he
would.
The widow is no longer widow,
but. alas! Jock is not her husband.
