Show ENDED THE SPELLING LESSON Bobby's Education, Under Aunt's Tutelage, Afterward Proceeded Under Different Lines. Miss Thompson, whose form nature has endowed with all-too-ample curves, was giving her little nephew a lesson in spelling the other day. He had spelt b-e, be, and h-e, he, and now she was trying to get him to tell her what m-e, spelt. "Listen, Bobby," she said earnestly. earnest-ly. Then closing her lips she pronounced pro-nounced the sound of a long m, and opening them, the sound of a long e. "What does that spell?" Bobby looked at her and shook his head. Again she tried, and this time, while pronouncing the sounds, she vigorously vig-orously tapped her own rotund chest with her plump forefinger. "Mmum, ee. What letters am I saying say-ing and what do they spell?" she asked; still vigorously tapping her chest. "I cfon't know what the letters are," replied Bobby, watching the plump forefinger, "but I guess they, speii Fat." |
