A Son-of-a-Gun For Beer.
Dorothy's father had been singing
his old college songs to her. One
day when she was returning from
town in the street car, with her
mother, Dorothy began singing:
"I’m a son-of-a-gun for beer, a
son-of-a-gun for beer.” It eert-inly
was emba. r^ssing when every one
turned an auu looker her.--

One evening while entertaining a
boy friend oi mine, the subject of
birthdays came up and my birthday
was due in just a day or so. Fred
insisted on my telling him what I’d
like for my birthday. Of course, as
all girls—I didn’t want a single
thing, and just at this moment my
“fisty” little brother having heard
our conversation, peeped in and
said:
‘‘Fred, I’ll tell you what to give
sister; give her a new corset; you
should see the one she’s got on—
it’s all worn out and sure is dirty.”
Needless to say I surely was
‘‘slaved.”—F. W.
A Mistaken Signal.
I took my little niece, aged four
years, to Sunday dinner at a
friend’s house. She always had a
healthy appetite, so I told her when
I kicked her under the table to not
ask for anything more, and stop
eating. During the meal I acciden-
tally touched her foot; she immedi-
ately stopped eating with her plate
piled high with food. The kindly
old lady insisted on finding out the
reason why she didn’t finish her
meal. The child finally said
"Auntie said when she kicked me
for me to quit eating,” then started
crying. Imagine my embarrass-
ment.—MRS. H. O. B.
Curling Iron and Camisole.
I was in my teens, just beginning
to have beaux, and one fine after-
noon I was dressing to meet, my
young man that night, when he
called unexpectedly at our front
door and wanted to speak with me.
Well, I was all aflutter, and ran to
the front door to see what he
wanted and we talked for about ten

minutes and I went back to my
room only to discover that I had
been talking to him in my petticoat
and camisole and had held the curl-
ing iron in my hair all the time he
was there. Well, my most embar-
rassing moment was that night
when he came. I could hardly look
at him and the whole evening was
spoiled because I was so miserable
over my mistake. — MRS. A. B.
WOODYARD, West Fourth. /
Exposed Him.
Did you ever go to a show with
a girl who was real nervous? Well,
I did JUST once. The picture had
gotten real exciting when she grab-
bed hold of my leg and began to
squeeze it till it hurt; but I hated
to say anything to embarrass her,
so I kept still. The picture grew
less exciting and she let up a little.
Then came the great climax, in the
picture I mean, and she began pull-
ing my trouser leg rfp. By the time
the picture ended she had my
trouser leg pulled up to my knee.
When she noticed what she had
done she became so embarressed
ishe asked me to take her right
home. Was she any more embar-
rassed than I was? I’ll say she
wasn’t.—C. M. S.. W. Eighteenth.
Lost Her Teeth.
One Sunday morning I started to
j Sunday school. It had been raining
I very hard and the ditches along the
j side of the street were full of water.
' I had taken my false teeth from
my mouth, and while crossing the
street I accidentally dropped them
into the water. I began running
down the stream with my hand in
the water hunting for them, which
attracted the attention of passersby,
who asked me what I had lost. One
y< N g man stopped and helped me
search, and we finally found the
lost article. Of course, I was very
much embarrassed.—M. E. F., N.
McKinley.
Knocking Not Necessary.
I was going to the store one day
last winter and of course in the
winter they had the door closed. I
' was paying very little attention to
what I was doing and knocked^on
the door. You can imagine my em-
barrassment when a man in there
accused me of trying to get Mr.
B-'s attention.—I. H. S.
The Wrong Song.
Father used to own a picture and
vaudeville theater in a small town.
Occasionally a vaudeville troupe
would fail to arrive. Then it was
Dad’s duty to get up a few acts of
local talent. My sister and I were
to sing. She was three and I was
five. We had made our debut sepa-
rately and were considered “child
wonders.” Then the fatal night
that we were to sing together. It
would have gone beautifully but it
seemed that “Snooks” did not re-
member what we were to sing. I
started out with the piano on “Baby
Shoes,” and the shrill voice of little
sister drowned me out with “I
Wonder Who’s Kissing Her Now.”
I pinched her on the arm, but in-
stead of taking the cue she went off
the stage crying so loudly that the
audience could not even hear the
rest of my song, much to their
amusement. I was crushed forever
after. And who says children for-
get?—MRS. HORACE VINSON, E
Ninth.
