A Buffalo lady, showing a friend froro Boston Bos-ton her fine house and grounds, -explained that a pipe which ran across tho lawn was iu-t iu-t ended to supply a fountain, "but," she adiied, "it doesn't work now; It's bust." Madam's daughter, much mortified, took the first opportunity t whisper In her mother's ear: "Ma, you shouldn't say 'bust, say 'burst.' " Ma, not too old to learn, made grateful mental note, and later on was quick to sei;;e an opportunity to regain tho ground she had presumably lost. A chief ornament of madam's drawing room was a marble presentment pre-sentment of her departed husband. To this she called the guest's attention. "It is a burst of 103' dead husband," sue sai l, with infinite complacency. The guest has gone back to Boston. Bt-f-falo I2x press. |
