Where He Came In.
Grace was a country girl, whose parents sent her to the city to attend college. When the holiday* came around and she came home, her mother gave a reception in her honor. Some of the girl friends asked Grace to show them her new gowns. Obligingly she brought out several modish gowns, and, holding up a particularly pretty one of silk, She said: "Isn’t this one perfectly beautiful? And just think, ft came from a poor, little Insignificant worm!” Her hard-working father was seated near, watching the performance, and he replied: “Yes, darn it, and I’m that worm!" —Lippincott’s.
