THE MODUS OPERANDI.
Wife — " My dear, I left my thimble in the pocket of my new dress, and 1 wish you'd run upstairs and — " Husband — " Now, see here, I'm not going off on any such job as that.' " How foolish you are ! Nothing is easier than finding the pocket in a dress. All you have to do is to slip it on." " Slip what on ?" "The drees of course. But you needn't try to button it, you know." "Oh, I needn't!"
' " No ; slipping it on is enough." " Well, then what ?" " Use common sense of course. All [ you have to do after the dress is on i is to dive down and crossways and a t little slanting, and up and around, : just as you Bee ladies do in the street i car when the conductor comes along, , and your hand will go straight into the pocket." — New York Weekly.
