Saving the Bawbees. When a freak show visited Aberdeen, the fasting lady was overwhelmed with offers of marriage. *. * * * Compliments. A well-known judge was entertaining a party of friends in a popular restaurant on New' Year’s Day, when a beautiful lady entered. Judge (to friends, loud enough for the lady to hear): “Jove, wlvat a pretty woman!” The lady turned round and sweetly said: “And what a good judge!” * * * * Making Hay She was crying. "Sweetheart,” he said, "let me kiss those tears away.” She fell into his arms, and lie was very busy for a- few moments. But the tears still flowed on. "Darling,” said he, "can nothing stop them?” "No,” she murmured, "it’s hay fever; but go on with the treatment.” * * * * Horror. Passenger (narrating sea disaster): "The wind whistled and shrieked balefully. The wild waves swept o’er our frail decks. To my horror, I saw the first mate carried overboard, and fall down —down into that churning abyss —never to be seen again.” Dear Old Lady (timidly): "Was he drowned?” Passenger (sarcastically): "No, he just sprained his ankle.” Lawrence of Arabia. Lawrence of Arabia, the man who gained fame in the war, has proved himself to be an excellent motor cyclist, and he is now developing into a skilful speed boat pilot. Officially known <as Aircraftman E. Edward Shaw, attached to Mount Batten Air Station, he is engaged, as part of his normal Royal Air Force duties, in trying out boats on Southampton Water. The development of fast boats is of great importance to the flying boat and seaplane squadrons. Lawrence is to be seen frequently speeding down the Solent when employed on these motor boat tests.
