A MUTUAL MISTAKE.
Two ladies stood on the doorstep of a friend's house waiting for admission, and they became very impatient at the delay. " It's very odd to be kept waiting at Mrs Darley's," said one. "The door is usually opened' so promptly." "So it is. I'm getting very tired." "I wonder if there is absolutely no one in the hpuse ? " "Of coui-Be there are people in. We'll ring again." " You rang before, didn't you P " " Why, no. I thought you rang ! " " Well, I was sure you rang. How ridiculous ! " "Yes, isn't it?" Then one of them rang, and the door was opened.
