Pollte Bertha.

Little Bertha was invited opt to dinner with her father and mother. Before she went It was firmly impressed upon her that she must not speak unless spoken to. All went smoothly for a while, but when some time elapsed and no notice was taken of her she began to get uneasy. Finally the hostess, seeing something was wrong, asked her what she would like next “I should like to have you begin to aslr me questions,” was the polite reply.—Lippincott’s.
