Feminine.

A local ironworker who has been married a couple of years always declared that his first son should be named Mat, after one of his best friends. Learning that the ironworker and his wife had recently been blessed with a charming baby, the friend smiled all over his face when he greeted the father on the street. “Well,” he beamed, “how Is little Mat?” “Mat. nothing,” answered the father; “it’s Mattress.” —Youngstown Telegram.
