INSIDE DOPE
Mrs. Brown had a treasure of a
maid, and she was praising her won
derful qualities, especially her trust
worthiness, to envious friends, when
the girl herself entered the room
with tea.
~ PHi Jane,” said Mrs. Brown, ’
‘will you run upstairs and fetch
that letter I left on my dressing
table?” *
**Er—er—which one, ma’am?” in
quired Jane. ‘‘The one about your
brother’s divorce or the one about
the piano payments being late?”
Superfluous
The gilt was still on the wedding
ring of the customer who was buy- I
ing a cook book,
j ‘‘l think I’ll take this small one at
30 cents,” she said at length.
‘‘We have a larger edition of that
at a dollar,” the assistant said
temptingly.
No, thank you,” replied the bride
shyly; ‘‘you see, both my husband
and I are small eaters.”
STILL MASTER
“Tom had saved a little money
and he was undecided for a time,
whether to get married or buy a
radio.”
“What was his decision?”
“He decided to buy the radio. He
can shut it off when he’s tired of
listening.”
Garden Variety
An Irishman went into a jeweler’*
to purchase a gold ring.
I “Eighteen carat?” asked the
salesman.
I “No, ye’re wrong,” said Paddy,
‘Tve been aitin’ onions!”
Monkey Business
Customer—l don’t like these photo
graphs, I look like an ape.
Photographer—You should have
thought of that before you had them |
taken.
Home Rule
“Going to have a new overcoat j
this winter?”
“I thought I was, but my wife de
cided yesterday that it is a non
essential.”
In a Name
“What is there in a name?”
“Well, there is some difference j'
between a watchdog and a dog
watch.”
Insurance
A man should bury his old straw
hat,
Should cremate well the thing.
! Or he’ll be tempted like enough,
| To wear it in the spring,
i
Succeeded
“Do you think he ever success
fully fooled his wife?”
“I know it. Didn’t he marry her?”
Lament
The melancholy days have come
To settle all our hash—
When summer clothes are on the
bum
And winter clothes take cash.
Difference
“My hubby hands me every penny
he earns.”
“That’s nothing, my husband
hands me every penny he makes.”
Lazy Mary
Mrs. Earlydawn—Get up, daugh
ter. Remember, it’s the early bird
that gets the worm.
Daughter—Let him have ’em. I
think worms are horrid, anyway.
OUT OF BOUNDS
“I didn’t mind my daughter get
ting engaged now and then.”
“Well?”
“But she went and got married
to some dud she met at a summer
resort. I call that carrying frivolity
too far.”
Technique
“And you reckon you save money
by going through the household ac
-1 counts every evening with your
j wife?”
I “I save hundreds, old man. By the
I time we balance it’s too late to go
anywhere.”
Hard Up
“Not so many years ago it was a
common thing for men to be ar
rested for debt.”
“Even now they’re often pinched
for money.” „ ...

WHAT TO DO IN AN AIR RAID
1. KEEP COOL. Don’t lose your head.
2. STAY HOME. The safest place in an air raid is at home. If
you are away from home, get under cover in the nearest shel
ter. Avoid crowded places. Stay off the streets. The enemy
wants you to run out into the streets, create a mob, start a
panic. Don’t do it.
