A VERY FAINT CLUE.
Haverly : *Do you think there is any chance of the detectives catching the burglar who broke into your bouse ?’ Austen: ‘No, not much. They only have a vety faint clue.’
Haverly : ‘ What is it ?’ Austen : * The burglar left behind him a photograph of himself, with hie name and address on it.'
Miss Findesiecle : * My contention is that women can do everything quite as well as men.’ Mr Dude : * Ob, I don’t quite see it; she couldn’t be a fireman, or a policeman, or—or—an auctioneer?’ Miss Findesiecle : ‘ Why not an auctioneer, pray ?’ Mr Dude : * Well ! fancy a woman before a crowd shouting, “ Now, gentlemen, who will make me an offer, eh ?” * ‘For marriage choose your opposite.’ At first I thought that rash ; But I shall choose my opposite— I want a girl with cash.
