A lady was entertaining her daughter's 

 caller, who was just back from a summer 

 outing. The conversation had been some- 

 what spasmodic, finally she decided to try 

 him on some of the new books : 



"Have you read 'Freckles,' Mr. John- 

 son?" she ventured. 



"No, ma'am," he stammered blushing, 

 "mine are the brown kind." — The Chris- 

 tian Herald.
