AMERICAN 'HOUSE,

We have just received a very
large shipment of TRUNKS,
which will be sold very low. :
house,5 with1 the large conservatory at
tached to it; is delightfully arranged for
'.spooning" or flirting, or even more
serious amatory business. The house is
aeservealy very popular with mamas with
marriageable daughters. One mama who
there successfully launched three daugh-
ters " on the serene and placid sea of
matrimony Vonce remarked : 'It t is my
candid ooinion that if a mr can't cret off
the hooks through Goodluck's parties to get rid of her,
she may as well retire to a nunnery at
once." ; i.
It is not strange, therefore that Small
bore should have decided after careful con
sideration, . to . formally 'popn .to Miss
Angelina at the next Goodluck party.
The fateful evening came round in due
course as all evenings do, fateful or other
wise. Smallbore was a happy man and
he believed that somewhere in the neigh
borhood of midnight ho would be till
happier. , ... , . "
,The most careful and methodical of
men is apt to become absent-minded when
he thinks that he is going to upop". to a
