TOO STRENUOUS!
(Sent in by Isabel Edgar, 37, Meola Road, Point Chevalier.) The mistress was showing her new maid through the upstairs apartments. Finally they came to a staircase leading down to the garden. "Now Mary," said the mistress stepping out on the landing, " whenever you wish to pass down to the garden go down this way." At that moment she slipped. With a great bumping noise she was precipitated to the bottom. " Goodness gracious, mum," gasped tho maid, staring down from above, " are ye hurt?" " No, it's nothing," came the reply, as the mistress struggled to her feet. " Then ye've got down it foine, mum. But if that's tho way I've got to do it, the job's too strenuous for me."
