Too Economical.

Adelbert—We are engaged to be married, you know, Ethel? Ethel—Yes, I know. “And with the full consent oi your parents.” “Yes.” “ Then, why will you not allow me to place my arm around your waist?” “I suppose it is the economic teachings of my father, Adelbert.” “What has that got to do with it, Ethel?” “He said I must never allow anything to go to waist.” —Texas Siftings.
