WHEN FATHER TELLS A JOKE

When a man hears joke which his
primitive sense of humor Classics as
"the funniest thing be has ever heard"
he hurries home TO bear the glad It'd

great discovery, but mothers counten-
ance remains untroubled by so much

gaze blankly into that interesting emp

Disguised and baffled, the husband
lis the same joke TO his daughter
Her only indication Of amusement is
plying uplift of the eyebrows and q
subsequent absorption in her knitting.
With his finger on the last unbroken
string Of hope father approaches his
nearest masculine relative. At last
success is his, for his son or his SON
in-law or his uncle roars, applauds and
slaps him on the back. Father bows TO
imaginary audiences and compliments
his fellow man on his perspicacity and
his fortunate possession Of a sense of
humor. He pities "those women--those

well informed, and with a mental
