AFTER DINNER WIT.
EPIGRAMS BY LORD DEWAR. United Service. LONDON. Oct. !>3 Tlu> bachelor Lord Dewar, head of the distilling firm, who is famous for his afterdiiiner epigrams, lias coined a new col lection on "Man's Anthem—Woman." In proposing (ho toast, ot tlie ladies at the Poultry Club's banquet he said: "The world needs more permanent, wives and fewer permanent- waves. It is woman s duty to provide for the inner man. and man's duty is to provide for tho outer woman. " A man should bo judged by his wife s clothes, which cost more than in tho Garden of Eden, but are they not worth it,? Brevity is the soul of this frock business. " Women display more backbone than men. When a man bares his shoulders ho catches a cold. When a girl bares her shoulders she catches a husband. The lives of some mothers are one darned stocking after another."
