We kin sling more culture to the square foot in Helena than they can in any camp in Ameraca. Culture! Oh, loosen my corset till I smile.” “ Sic Transit Gloria Mundi! “ By-the- I way, Duchess, supposing that we do succeed ’ in abolishing the House of Lords this session, won’t it be a great blow to the Duke?” “ Yes, if he ever hears of it; but I shan’t tell him, you know.” Speaking of a recent fancy ball, a gentleman was asked : “ How did you enjoy the ball “ Well, there were several dudes and of nudes there,” was the reply.
