Knowles — Shall we go out and look at the moon? She — But there isn ' t any moon. Knowles — Well, that was just a rhetorical question, anyway. Him — What are the last -,steps ih the latest dance? Her — The front porch. Durgin — Women are wearing their stock- ings in sausage fashion now. Labelle— Howzat? Durgin — Below knees. She — You must be absent-minded — you ' re twenty minutes late for our swim. He — Well, you see, I left my watch home, and when I went to take it out to see if I had time to go back to get it, I didn ' t have it with me. Miss H. Lucier — Got a thumb tack? Middleton — No, but I have a fingernail. Hermon Goodell — He ' s a good fellow, but he ' s too loquacious. Herbert Goodell — Yeah, and besides he talks too much. Customer (very indignant) — Why, I be- lieve the soles of these shoes are made of paper. O ' Shaughnessy ( in Edwards Co.) — Well, if they aren ' t, they are a mighty good imita- tion. The runners were lined up, tense and eager. A deathlike hush gripped the people in the stands. The starter stood ready with his gun raised above his head. On your marks ! The runners crouched down. Get set ! They leaned forward. The pistol cracked. They were off with a leap and down the track. But they had to be called back because the pistol had cracked and a new one had to be procured. The Male— Wilt thou? The Female — Only in very hot weather. Teacher — Now what do little folks do be- fore they go to sleep? Little Folk — Dey closes dere peepers. R. Hall — I ' ve been clipping coupons. D. Simonds — From bonds? Hall — Naw, from magazines for shaving soap.
