The Old WayS.

simple young man was invited
out to dinner one evening. and 1t fell
to his lot to take in lady of very
vivacious temperament.

meal to make Mr.. Simpleton talk, but
elected nothing more satisfactory
from him than monosyllables. AS n

feeling very much bored.

at conversation. the lady said:
"Oh, Mr.. Simpleton, do you like ba-
nanas?"
The young man appeared to be
thinking deeply for few moments,
and then answered:
"Er-no. no: think prefer the
old fashioned night gown"
