HOW TO WIN SIXPENCE.
Quite a lot of sixpences can he made by a simple test of other people’s alertness. Of course, sometimes one is had oneself. “This is what I witnessed last night in a club” (writes “Peter Simple," in the London Morning Post). “One man, after carefully leading the conversation toward dressing habits, said to another: ’Now, I’ll bet you sixpence you don’t button your waistcoat up in 30 seconds.’ The other iman took him on, buttoned his waistcoat in six seconds—and lost his sixpence. Of course, he had, as most men do, buttoned his waistcoat down, not up.”
