WHAT SHE WAS WISHING.
On a recent evening, Mr SmytlieBrowne took his wife for a stroll round town. While parading the principal street, she was attracted by a smart show of millinery in a shop window, and stood for some minutes, her attention wholly absorbed by an enormous "creation" which formed the centrepiece of the display. "Come along, Blanche," demanded Smythe-Browne, impatiently. "What are you waiting here for ?" "Oh, I was just wishing," she said.
"Wishing what ?" "Why, I was wishing I were a man, dear," she replied. "Why, pray ?"
"So that I could make my wife happy by buying her that hat."
