One day as he climbed into a taxicab he got the impression that the driver hadn't recognized him but felt sure that he was remembered. He decided to find out if the name of Winthrop meant anything to the cabbie. "Did you ever hear of Thornton Winthrop?" he asked. "Yes, sir," the cabbie replied. "Wonderful man, isn't he?" "He certainly is." "Handsome, too, eh?" "Yes sir, and doesn't he know It," PREMATURE He was exceedingly brave and eloquent as he told her he loved her so much, he'd even face death for her.

"Sure," yelled the fellow over his shoulder, "but that bull aint dead!" Butt-Insky A fellow took his wife to the movies but couldn't hear because of the conversation going on in the row in back of them.

"I've noticed every time you talk you say my house, my automobile, my chair, my shoes everything's yours. You never say ours. I'm your partner. I'm your wife. It should be ours." The husband paid no attention to her, just kept looking around. "What are you looking for?" "Our pants!"
