WON THE DAY BY FLATTERY

Cuthbert Evidently Knew Juet How to Say the Right Thing at the Right Time. Cuthbert Pipwhistle waited in palpitating I alienee for Gervangellne to answer the great question he had just put to her. Would she say: "Yea, Cuthbert," or would ehe prefer to remain Mias Smith? , ' Slowly Gervangellne turned her permu« head round and gazed into the

young qian’s eyes. (Gervangellne was a lady “nut," and at the moment was doing her best to appear like Flossy Floyd of the Tivolity. Some' girls get this complaint sometimes). Cuthbert took her band. "Do you play ca»da for money?" she asked impressively. “No," said Cuthbert, lying like a hero. “But if I did I could win a lot of money at this momeift." * “How so, dear Cuthbert?” look what a ripping hand I hold!”

Her beautiful head dropped onto his shoulder —and part of the Flossy Floyd make-up came off on his sleeve. —London Tit-Bits.
