“A young wife shouldn’t worry about trifles,” says a writer. She should just give him rice pudding again and let him get on with that. *«/ * « A cannibal chief is reported to have eaten his mother-in-law because she opposed him on some matter of tribal policy. It would be only poetic justice if she continued to disagree with him. X: « * . * * A vicar complains that one of his wealthiest parishioners gave a bad shilling to the church funds. Sheer ostentation. of course. A bad sixpence would have been enough. We read of a new and extremely rapid cloth-cutting machine. Perhaps the inventor got the idea from seeing us play billiards.
