In her bathhouse, ready for the show-

gave the rope another tug, when the
gruff voice of the sailor proprietor of
the establishment sounded from aloft.

are so high."
"If they were twice as high, would
they look twice as small?" she asked,
showing the mathematical turn not
unnatural In the offspring of a sue
cessful broker.
Papa answered "Yes."
She made a quick calculation and
remarked: "They won't amount to
much when they got to heaven, will
they?"
