AT THE GARDEN GATE.
One night, a young man, saying * ‘ Good-bye ’ ’ to his fiancee, was leaning on the garden gate. “I’m going to ask you a great favour,” the girl said hesitatingly. 1 ‘lt is already granted,” he answered. “A very great favour,” she repeated, as if doubtful of the propriety of saying what it was. “You’re sure that you won’t think it presumptuous or forward of me?” “Never!” he assured her. “Only tell me what I can do for you.” “Well,” she replied, “would you mind not leaning on that gate? Father painted it this afternoon, and he will be awfully provoked if he has to paint it again.”
