THK ECONOMICAL GIRL. 
She’s a dashing little student 
Of economy, and prudent. 
In a most painstaking fashion, 
I would really have you know; 
And she looked, with eyes up-glancing, 
Most be wlushtngly entrancing, 
And my thoughts flow back to courtship, 
Many happy year* ago; 
Soon her gaze grew fond and fonder, 
And 1 then began to ponder 
Some sweet, words I’d whisper to her 
Of a liberty I’d take; 
But she smiled a smile platonic 
As she said lu words laconic: 
“What a splendid lot or carpet rags 
Your overcoat would tnnke!’’

“What do you grow on this land?” he in¬ 
quired of the fanner who was leaning over a

A Lady who wore a big hat to tbe theatre, 
the other night, was appropriately punished

think the material was expensive?” Papa: 
“Because you bought so little of it .”—New
