He Supports the Proposition.

Mrs. Blickena—The president of our club is going to lecture next Tuesday on “Conversation a Lost Art.” Mr. Blickens (yawning)—That so? Mrs. Blickens—Well, why don’t you go on and make some sarcastic comment about the impossibility of conversation being a lost art wbile women remain on earth? Of course that is what you think. Mr. Blickens—No, I agree with your president. Conversation is a lost art When only one side can be heard it is merely talk.
