BOLD THING. Marie Lloyd, the popular comedienne, when she was in America, was interrogated by a reporter about her Customhouse troubles: — “Your questions arc becoming too direct. You are like the young baronet. “A young baronet, at a dinner party, sat beside a young countess whose arms acre particularly white and beautiful. “ ‘I was vaccinated yesterday,’ the countess said, during frozen punch and Russian cigarettes. “ ‘Vaccinated, eh?’ said the baronet, and, screwing in his monocle, he stared at both her fresh, round arms intently. Then he added : “ ‘Where were you vaccinated?’ “ ‘ln London,’ said the countess, with a cold little laugh.’’ AN INTENSE MOMENT. Arthur had never kept company with a girl, but one day he found himself riding along with Mary on a lonely road. The conversation had come to a standstill, not a man or a house wav in sight, and not a sound could be heard. The silence was intense and oppressive. Mary scanned the hawthorn hedge on her side, and Arthur peered hopefully at the hazel bushes on his side. Suddenly a rabbit sprang out. “Do you like rabbits?” asked Mary impulsively. “Yes,” replied Arthur quickly. Then he stopped a further flow of speech, blushed, remembered nobody was about, and again strained his eyes at the bushes. . Once more the silence was intense. Then he drew in a sharp breath, pulled himself together resolutely, and glanced towards 1 her. “And—and Mary,” he murmured, “Ain’t they nice—boiled?” “ SWEET” POTATOES.
