HEARD IN THE TRAIN. At a certain railway station a Highland “Tommy” dressed in Ids kilts, entered a railway carriage in which was seated a little girl, aged eight. During the journey the soldier started a conversation with her. After asking how old she was and various other questions, the Tommy said, jokingly; “Give me your address and I’ll send you a) picture postcard!” To the great amusement of everybody in the compartment the little girl replied: “I’m sorry I can’t give you my dress, but if you comb round to our house I’ll give you a pair of dad’s trousers!” ,
