"If Brown's haven't any, go to another shop." It was about two hours later when Bobbie returned looking all hot and bothered. "It's no good, mums," he cried wearily. "I've tried all the shops in the town, but I can't get a new eponge anywhere. They've all got holes in them." » • • • Ask your chum if he can write a small "i" with a dot over it. No doubt he will say it is very simple and will write a small "i," but this is wrong. A small "i" with a dot over it should, of course, have two dots over it.

"I've had three bottles of your hair restorer, and so far it has not made the slightest difference to my appearance," said the baldheaded customer. "That's very strange," replied the hair specialist. "I can only advise you to lceop on with the treatment, sir." "Well, I'll drink another bottleful, but if that doesn't make my hair grow it will be the last," cried the customer. * * * * Mother told Leonard and Leslie to run away and play in the garden, as she was busy, but they soon came running, indoors again. "Oh, mummy," buret out Leslie, "we've had a little accident and knocked the ladder over." "Well, don't come worrying me," said mother. "Go and tell your father." "Oh, he knows already," cried Leonard. "We left him hanging on the bedroom window-sill."
