SMILES AND SUCH
j HUMOROUS GLEANINGS FUOM VARIOUS
: SOURCES
: NOT AN OMISSION
Mrs. Benton tasted the savory morsel she had care-
fully compounded in the chafing dish and looked at
j her husband somewhat apprehensively. Then she
said:
: "Somehow it don't taste just as Mrs. Mink's did
the other night. Yet I thought I remembered the
recipe all right. I suppose I must have left some
1 thing out."
Mr. Benton tasted reflectively.
: "I don't think so," he remarked.
Mrs. Benton's face brightened visibly. Then her
j husband continued:
I "There's nothing you could leave out," he said,
t "that would make it taste like this. It's something
you've put in!"

t
j An old gentleman, always polite to women, was
: asserting one day that he had never seen a really ugly
: woman. A woman with a flat nose, overhearing him,
: said:
: "Sir, look at me, and confess that I'm truly ugly."
"Madame," he replied, "like the rest of your sex,
you are an angel fallen from the skies; but it was
your misfortune, rather than your fault, that you
j happened to alight on your nose."
