Those Blessed Children.

Little Mamie, aged 10, had just returned from a eh ldren’s party. “D d you dance w.th Tommy Fizzletop ?” asked her mother. “No, I d dn’t. He asked me a dozen times to dance with him, but I refused him. I just let him suffer.” “You refused to dance with him? Why did you act so impolitely ?” “Because I had my reasons. I don’t know what the little 6-vear-old fellow means. I wonder if he th nks I am go ng to compromise myself. If he th'nks I’m anx ous to encumber myself with the cares and responsib lities of matrimonv, he is very much mistaken.” —Texas Siftings. *
