RL NA i SAVE N40 A b hain Re hy ry JUST IN FUN More Important In answer to her advertisement for a cook, the housewife received only one reply, "l suppose I needn't bother ask- ing for references, John?" she asked, discussing the matter with her husband.

Tough "Two days without food or water," announced the Commando to an admiring audience in the local; "think of that." "Pretty bad," agreed a middle- aged man; "but how would you like to have fought in the trenches in Flanders? Sometimes we were up to the waist in icy water and mud for a week or more."

Reasonable Mistress: "Why don't you keep the baby quiet, Kate?" Kate: "1 can't keep him quiet, Ma'am, unless 1 let him make a noise." Don't Boast A Scots girl obtained a situation in the South. One day her mistress asked her what particular part of Scotland she came from. "1 come from near Aberdeen, was the reply. "Oh," said her mistress. "I'm sorry you didn't tell me so before.
