and Mrs. Lloyd Oberg and Mary
Joe, Alvin Oberg, Mr. and Mrs.
Olver Oberg, Nancy and Clyde of
Corpus Christi, and Mr. and Mrs.
A. B. Crossland of Harlingen.
The Reason
While awaiting my order in a
little tea garden in England, I no-
ticed that the ash tray on the
table had about half an inch of
water in the bottom. This struck
me as a good idea for extinguish-
ing cigarets, and when the wait-
ress returned, I commented on
the fact.
“Yes,” she said, with a twinkle
“and it also discourages people
from slipping them into their
pockets as souvenirs.”
Father
A small girl whose father is a
judge would often say she was
Judge Brown’s daughter when
someone asked her narhe. Her
mother, thinking this might
sound snobbish, told her not to
make that sort of reply, but simp-
ly to say that she was Dorothy
Brown.
Later someone asked her if she
was Judge Brown’s daughter.
She replied, “Well, I thought I
was, but Mother says not;”
Not Now
The customer was ordering a
new suite. His tailor, however,
told him it would not be ready
for six months.
“Six months!” cried the cus-
tomer. “Why, the whole world
was created in six days.
“True,” said the tailor. “But
have you taken a good look at
it lately?”
