Little Nell—“ Now, Johnny, pretend this is oUr house, and I’m mamma arid you are a gentleman and h.'s wife come to see me.” Johnny—“ But I can’t be a gentleman and his wife too.” Little Nell—“No, of coarse not. There is that horrid dog of Jimmie Brown’s’on the porch. Bring him in and pretend he is your wife.” Johnny—“ All wight. But you hate that dog, I know you do.” Little Noll—“Oh, that don’t make any difference. It’s all pretend, you know. Coax him in and I'll hug and kiss him, and go on just like mamma does when Mrs. Blank calls. That’s the way to be perlite, you knew.” — Philadelphia Call.
