“So, Charley, you’ve got a sweetheart, I hear,” said one young man to another. “I’ve heard something of the sort, too, ” answered Charley. “Is she pretty?” “Rather.” “Father living?” “I should smile. Livest man you ever saw. ” “Well heeled?” “I don’t know whether he is heeled at all or not, but I have cause to believe he is very heavily toed,” and he limped away with a hurt look and a crumpled coat-tail.— Merchant Traveler.
