She Wouldn’t Understand
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brown were
neighbors. It was not surprising,
therefore, that compliments were
the' order of the day.
Said Mrs. Smith one fine morn
ing:
“Huh! Mrs. Brown, yer’ve got
odd stockings on!”
Mrs. Brown was, as always, equal
to the occasion. Smiling her sweet
est smile, she replied loftily:
“Yes, dearie. I can understand
that surprisin’ yer; but it’s a thing
wot often ’appens to lidiee wat ’as
