A LIMITED BILL.
* The women of our church intend giving a series of alphabet suppers,’ said Mrs Closeclutch, in her best ‘ please-may I-have-a dollar ’ voice.
‘ What the dickens is an alphabet supper ?’ growled her amiable lord.
‘ Why, a supper where the name of each of the articles begins with the same letter. For instance, there may be beans, bread, butter, berries ’ ‘ Yes, I see,’ growled Mr Closeclutch. Then, after a moment’s thought, he added : * Look a-here. If yon are going into any such nonsense as that, I want you to take the letter X for your night.’
