IN THESE DAYS OF DIVORCES

Really Nothing Remarkable In the ~Brrhple and Frank "Explanation of the Small Boy. We were walking down the street Sunday and we saw the most beautlfnl child sitting on the froht steps of a pretty house, says Ted Robinson. His eyes were so big and blue, his curly head so golden, his innocent smile so frank and inviting that we could not resist the temptation to enter into conversation with him. ‘‘Well, son,” we said in the idiotieally gepial wav with which ati adult usually addresses a child, “how old are you?"——— ' ■. ... ===== “Four," lisped the Infant. (He didn’t really lisp it, because you can’t lisp when you say four; but that’s the way children are supposed to do.) “Isn’t mat fine!” (It would have been just as fine If he’d been three, though, or five. More idiocy.) “And whose little boy are you?" “Mamma’s li’l boy.” “Aren’t you papa’s little boy, too?" “Nope.” “Why aren’t you papa’s little boy?” “The decree gimme to mamma.” Then we went on our pleasant way. —Savannah Morning News.
