Rather Old-Fashioned.

At ,a dinner the other night they were speaking of the importance of . being right up to date, when Judge Clinton Grey of the New York court of appeals was reminded of the case of John Henry. John Henry had been calling at the home of Myrtle for many months without making much headway toward matrimony, but eventually little Cupid chased him out of the bashful gloom. “Dearest,” suddenly remarked John Henry one night, going over quickly and sitting close by the side of the beautiful girl! “I intend to see your father tonight and ask him for your hand.” “You make me sigh,” wearily responded the fair one. “Why will you insist on being so old-fashioned?” “Old-fashioned?” wonderingly rejoined John Henry, “I don’t get y6u, dearest.” ’’Don’t go and ask him,” imperiously answered dearest. “Go tell him.”- — Philadelphia Telegraph.
