FOR THE WIDOW’S BENEFIT.
Widow’s Daughter : ‘ Mamma, why did you tell Mrs Lamode that I am only eighteen when I am really twentyfour ?’ Widow : ‘ Because eighteen is six years under twenty-four, my dear. ’ Daughter: ‘Yes, I know: hut surely I don’t need the benefit of those six years at my age, do I ?’ Widow : ‘ Not at all, my child ; but I do.’
