LAPS The lap is one of those rare human institutions which, though ionstantly being sat upon, still survives. It always appears when you sit down. Nobody knows where it goes when you stand up. It was invented by Mothers. Mothers have worn laps ever since Eve evolved from fig leaves to furbelows. Fathers have the framework for laps but they lack the connecting links. Laps are used for many things; among matrons for holding babies and bowls full of cake batter; among lovers for holding each other; and among various classes of persons for a various number of things. Some folks haven't room in their laps for anything but their stomachs. er last evening the meeting of the Monroe street Epworth League was postpone for one week.
