A Bland Reply*
A woman interested in charity
work was accustomed each day to
pass by the door o f a Chinese laun­
dry, wherein there were employed
two Chinese. Each time she passed
the charity worker would stop for
an instant and speak to the boss.
“ H ello, John,” rite would cull out,
to which salutation fe e celestial
would reply, “ H ello, lady.”
One day she saw only one China­
man w h erelhere had been two, and
she asked, “ Where is fe e other,
John?”
“ Him in hospital,” said fe e laun-
dryman. “ Cliatian gentleman stlnck
him in the head with a blick.” — S t
