Such Good Friends.

Two ladies met in one of our fashionable dry goods stores the other day and sat down to have a fashionable chat. One of the ladies in the course of conversation said: “I saw Mr. Blank when I was home last month, and he inquired very particularly after you.” “Did he ? How strange that he should remember me. I haven’t seen him since I was married.” “So he told me. He said it was twenty-five years since he had seen you.” “Dear, dear. Is it }\ jsible it is so long as that?” “les. And he said he would go a long way just to look at you again.” “Did he? How nice of him. And what did you say ?” “Oh, I told him you were not as well worth looking at now as you were twenty-five years ago. It’s true, isn’t it, dear ?” “Yes, love,” said the other woman, sweetly. “Do you know you remind me of Tennyson?” “How so?” asked the friend, with a pleased expression. “Why, you know where he says it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Do you see the application? Good morning, dearest.” And she sailed away. Her friend saw the application.— Detroit Free Press.
