Mon Dieu.l can't complain; but yet I have only had half chances.' 1 "Allans done I How is that ? You are now in a very good position ! " •• Yeg, but with the card's in my hands I should now be a semi-millionaire 1" " You have the consolation of being some* thing like one at least." The man who has only had half, chances, with a sigh: " Well, just to show you my luck. Yes«> terday 1 scattered a lot of orange-peel ok the stairs for the benefit of my mother-in-law, and it was only the housemaid who broke her neck : there now!" He drank a small glass of champagne, And started to walk down the lagne, But be heaved a deep eigh, As he looked at the skigh, For he thought he'd get caaghi in the ragne. A young lady, not well versed in music, vfants to know if dance music is written in foot notes.
