Il Wouldn't Wash.

Farmer futile was in London for
the first time, and thought his best
celebration of the occasion would be
a good dinner at a smart restaurant.
What cheese can We recommend,

I'd loike something new
"Will you try a little Roquefort,
sir2" suggested the waiter.
Hang it, I've ne'er heard of it,
but bring it along. I Ioike the name,
anyway"
The cheese particularly ticIlled his
palate, and he thought his wife might
like to try this new cheese. Ar
irving home late, he laid the small
cheese, in it's silver paper wrapping,
on the sideboard.

:: Placing The Blame ::

TJELLo' Laura. Is that you at
the phone? Good morning
Yes, we're all well, thank
you. I called up to say that was a
rather mean practical joke you play
ed on me. especially when you know
how fond your brother Paul is of
brown bread I must say that
thought l could depend upon his own
sister to give me the recipe his moth
err used.
You say you did give it to me?
Impossible. The bread baked
wasn't fit to eat. It was awfully an
noying, particularly as / made it all
myself while Thora was out Thurs
day, for | was so anxious to have it
just right for Paul He has been
talking about brown bread for
months / wanted to show him that
even if he did come from a family Of
famous cooks there are others
My failure with the bread was a
dreadful disappointment to me. I've
been waiting till l got over being
angry about it before mentioning the
matter TO you. l just wish to say,
dear, that giving me a defective re
cipe didn't appeal to my sense Of
humor, although doubtless you
thought it was funny. All you Gran
dalls are so absurdly fond of joking.
"Of course, it's easy for you to in
sist now that you gave me the proper
ingredients and quantities, but if you
did, why wasn't the bread good?

We'll, of course, dear, every one TO

no objection I'm sure, but you can

| Perhaps it is wholesome, but you

| Yes, indeed, the cream was very

| of course il was sour

The Lottery Ticket

tn HE story of my MARRIAGE You
wish to hear it? Well, you will
find there is nothing common
place about it.
A pale, disheveled girl, in a thread
bare dress, sold me a lottery ticket one
night outside a cafe l paid her an
enormous amount for it-a whole sill
yer dollar. and she rewarded my mu-
nifcence with a charming smile and a
blush.
1T will surely bring you luck senior, "
she said, in the low, clear voice peculiar
to the young girls of the lower class in
Madrid
Are you quite sure?" asked, laugh
ingly, as I put the ticket into my coat
pocket and buttoned my overcoat to
protect myself against the crisp De-
cember air.
Yes, l am quite sure. senior. THAT
number will be drawn. You see it Is
1920, and fourteen is the number of my
years and twenty the number of days
since my last birthday That is the
reason l bought It,"
In that case, my child we will play
together, and if the number is drawn,
half of the prize is yours"
Her pretty little face beamed with
JOY.
"Then, senior. give me your name and
your address. I know the big prize will
be ours inside of four days"
