Mr. S. C. Hall, in his recently-published autobiography, tells us that he was •* christened" by a clergyman who was so deeply in debt that he had a tunnel made from the church to the rectory to save him from falling into the hands of the bailiffs. “ Angelina, darling,’’ said the dude to the dudine, “ you’re the apple of my eye.” “You’re a flatterer, Adolphus.” “Not at all, my dear; but when we’re together you’re no longer the apple of my eye.” “ Why ?” “ Because it takes us both to form one pair then. Ha! ha! ha !” Bonnets are again made to match clothes, but no one has ever thought of making them to match purses.
