Mother—Wbat ore you looking so
worried about, darling?
Daughter—I’m going to a dance nnd
I don’t know whether it’s formal or
informal, Shall I wear an evening
dress?
Mother—No, just wrap It up in your
pocketbook, and then you can put it
on In the dressing room if the dance
happens to be formal.
A Real Optimist
Smith—Blythe is a pretty optimistic
Character, I hear.
Brown—1 should say so! If he failed
In business he’d thank heaven he had
his health; If he failed in health, he’d
be glad he had his business; and if he
failed In both, he’d say there was no
use having one without the other.

Racing Enthusiast—That's Jlrs. Mur
