A Fool Proceeding.

“1 had quite a wow the other night,” said the dude, as he attempted to twist into a curl the first half-dozen hairs that were struggling into life on his upper lip. “Ah! indeed,” said his girl; “with whom, pray?” “With my hated wival, Smith,” he answered. “You did not come to blows, I hope.” “We did wather. In fact, he stwuck me on the mouth.” “Oh, that was altogether unfair.” “Not at all. I stwuck him first.” “Nevertheless, it was unfair for him to strike you on the mouth. It is not right to strike a mustache when it’s down.”— Boston Courier. Domestic pursuits—chasing the man of the house with a broomstick.
