Young Husband: “I see that sugar has gone down two points.”

Young Wife: “Has it? I’ll get a couple of pounds to-day, then.”

Best Man (seeing couple off on honeymoon): “Here you are—just a few magazines to help pass away the time.”

Hostess (to small guest, who is casting lingering glances at the cakes): “I don’t think you can eat any more of those cakes, can you, John?”

John: “No, I don’t think I can. But may I stroke them?”

Mr. Househunter: “I don’t care for those flats we looked at to-day. The rooms are too narrow, and the ceilings are too low.”

Mrs. Househunter: “But they are cheap, dear; and you and I are neither very wide nor very high.”
