Some Consolation.

The guest found the brides biscuit
rather heavy. They kept forcing them
on him, and he kept nibbling at them.
But he slid several into his side pocket.
The bride saw this and SO did her hus-
band. OF course they were too polite
to say anything. However, as soon as
the guest had departed, the bride began
to whimper.
"Cut out the weeps, dearIe," coun-
seled her husband. Take it as COM
pliment. With those biscuits he doubt
less intends to conduct some important
experiments from which we may all
reap fame and fortune. He's a noted
road builder"
