GATHERED SMILES

UNCONVENTIONALITIES. “Gee! How you've aged since 1 saw you last, old boy!" “Your little girl’s ears are very prominent, Mrs. Throgglns. I’d have them treated If I were you." "I’ll be perfectly frank with you. Mr. Jings; I’m marrying you for your money.” “The reason why I want my life Insured Is because I have heart trouble." “I heard you read your text. Dr. Fourthly, but I slept through the sermon.” “I’m offering my house and lot cheap because this isn’t a desirable neighborhood.” “We’ll like to have you come and visit us, Uncle Pete, if you’d stay only a day or two.”
