Show Didn't Know the Purpose. Mark Twain, as an example of unconscious, un-conscious, humor, used to quote a nartford woman who said one day in the late spring: "My husband is the dearest fellow. 'Jim,' I said to him this morning, 'are you very hard up just now?' " T certainly am hardup,' he replied re-plied soberly. - 'This high cost of living liv-ing is terrible. I don't know what I'm going to do.' " 'Then, Jim,' said I, 'I'll give up all tnought of going to the country for July and August this year.' "But the dear fellow's face changed, and he said: " 'Indeed, then, you won't, darling. I thought you wanted to buy a hat with an aigrette or some such foolishness. No, no, my darling Jim can always find the money to let his dear little wife go to the country.' " |
