Her Sex's Failing.

Delmer usually walked to school with
Matte, his little neighbor next door,
but nearly always had to wait for her.
One morning he was obliged to wait an
unusually long time for Matte to get
her hair curled, and later he confded
to his mother that he was not going
to walk to school with her any more.
His mother asked him why he had de-
cided to 60 without waiting for Matte.
"Well," he replied "when I call for her
I always find her so unready."
