Deformed Love.

Mary Ann fell desperately in love with a dude, but the imitation of a man had found out that the girl was not so much an heiress as he had supposed, and his love for her cooled down about 40 degrees. In fact his love for the homely dudine had fled forever, and of course, she became distracted in body and mind. She loved him devotedly and she shed many bitter tears over his cold-blooded manner of speech. She did not derive much consolation from her mother, when she appealed to her for sympathy. The old lady gave her a little encouragement, though when she said, “Mary Ann, I never did go much on deformed love.” “Why, mother, why do you call my heavenly love for that man deformed love?” • “Because its all on one side my child. ” —Carl Pretzel’s Weekly.
