A visitor was complimenting the wife of a prominent public functionary on the high social position she held. “Yes, and yon are very kind, sir, to say it,” said she, “but what little social distinction I may have acquired is entirely due to my husband’s office. If he were to die now what would Ibe ? I leave it to you.” Visitor (after mature reflection) — “Yon would, madam, be a widow!”— Liverpool Post.
