THE CAPE DeLUX
FAIRY DOLLS.
Late in the afternoon, the Settle
ment Worker returned ■ to Harlem
House. It was the swarming library
hour. One small girl wanted only
fairy tales. When asked why noth
ing else would do, she said:
“Because I read them to my dolls.”
“How many have you?”
And the little Serafina answered:
“I can have as many dolls as I want
if I believe in fairies.”—New York
Sun.
A PROMISE
My thoughts of you •
Are like tender green leaves,
Small and shy,
But a little wind in the branches
Whispers a promise
Of a great cloak of green
To cover the brown bark of life.
M. C. L.
PHILOSOPHY.
How amusing is this chatter,
“The unreality of matter,”
By ladies who are fat,
And are daily growing fatter!
Ah, well, we’ll let them chatter;
For of course not much can matter
When one’s already fat,
And is daily growing fatter.
N. M.
“SCRIPSIT”
“What is this I have found? Do
you actually buy such frivolous
books?”
“No, mamma, I only wrote it.”
—Lustige Blaetter (Berlin).
THE MOB
Post: My wife has asked everyone
on earth she knows to a party.
Parker: What sort of a shindy is
it? A tea?
Post: I call it a friendsy.

THE MASTER MIND
First Crook: I’ve bin wonderin’,
Bill—how does a man get his own
money out of a bank?
Second Crook: Easy. He jes’ forges
his own name to de check.
“I woke up this morning and I
couldn’t believe that my uncle had
died and left me a million dollars.
It seemed like a dream.”
“Ah—so your uncle left you a mil
lion?”
“No—it was a dream.”
Ҥay, Sonny, do you mind if I take
a snap of the old tub ?”
“Sure not. Aunt Julie! A fella
here wants to take yer pitcher.”
A SUPER-SPECIAL
Movie Magnate: In your next pro
duction I want you to create an air
of great luxury.
Director: All right, I’ll have the
star pick an orchid to pieces while she
says, “He loves me; he loves me not.”
FOUND
A great many people have been
wondering what has happened to the
man who used to conceive the names
for apartment houses and Pullman
cars, and I am happy to give informa
tion concerning his whereabouots.
It seems that the talented fellow is
now working for the movie fan maga
zines, thinking up new ideas for con
tests. —Robert E. Sherwood.
“I want two books.”
“What kind of books, please?”
“Oh, just a couple of books for a
woman about thirty-seven.”
SIGNAL FOR DEPARTURE
Mistress: When you leave I shall
want a week's warning.
Bridget: It’s me custom, ma’am, to
announce me departure with three
blasts on me auto horn.
—Boston Transcript.
HOW TO TAKE A BATH
(Any Boy’s Idea) *
Put it off as long as possible.
Set about it under protest.
Toy with the faucets until the tub
is ready to overflow.
Whine out a complaint of the tem
perature of the water.
Stall for an extra towel.
Feel of the water again.
Shiver.
Fidget on one foot.
Stroke the surface of the water
with the toes of one foot.
Jump back writhing in utter hor
ror.
Shake the dirt off the shoes into
tub.
Make a splashing and swishing
noise with the bath-brush.
Sprinkle the air, face and neck.
Dress leisurely.
Come out for inspection.
E. J. K.
“Do you and your wife agree in
regard to politics?”
“No, we don’t, but keep it to your
self, old top. I wouldn’t have her
know for anything.”
Norma: What made Evangeline
catch cold?
Florence: Exposure. She went out
with no powder on.
HINDSIGHT
Irate Mother (to infatuated daugh
ter): Forget your young man, my
child. ... An idiotic marriage!
You’ve been as if struck by lightning,
you say? Bah! So was I, long ago,
for your father. And how many times
since have I wished I’d had a light
ning rod that day!—L’lllustration
(Paris).
“Pretty hot yesterday.”
“Yes, my husband started from the
ice factory three times and arrived
with nothing.”
TOURING THE HIGHLANDS
“Who’s the kiddie in kilts?”
“A boy Scot.”
