What kind of hands did you hold?” and he winked and laughed again and nudged the young man In tho ribs. Then the inspiration came to the young man. . . “They were just toolovely for anything/ he said, with a smile. “Your daughter* was ono, for instance.” And somehow tho old one hasn’t felt so much like teasing tho pious young man since that.—Detroit Free Didn’t Want Them.
