her boy, Nat:

He Only Wanted to Hear.

Mr. Blobbs, who is somewhat deaf,
dined one evening with friends.
When the guests were seated the host
bent his head and began speaking in
subdued tone.
whats that?" demanded Blobbs,
who sat beside him.
The host smiled patiently and be-
gan in louder voice.
Speak a little louder; l don't
catch what you say" Blobbs persist
ed.
A low ripple Of laughter went
around the table.
The host, his face crimson with
embarrassment, raised his voice still
higher.
The poor old man did his best to
hear, but failed. What did you say"
he demanded irascibly.
The host cast an angry glance at
him. Hang it, man. he shouted,
I'm saying grace." -Selected.
