When Peter comes his card to read-- He'll take the sign "No smoking" down, Then Heaven will be Heaven indeed.
--_Oliver Herford_.
Sn.o.bBERY
A well-known society performer volunteered to entertain a roomful of patients of the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, and made up a very successful little monologue show, entirely humorous. The audience in the main gave symptoms of being slightly bored, but one highly intelligent maniac saw the whole thing in the proper light, and, clapping the talented actor on the shoulder, said: "Glad you've come old fellow. You and I will get along fine. The other dippies here are so dashed dignified. What I say is if a man is mad, he needn't put on airs about it."
SOCIALISTS
"What's the difference between a socialist and a plutocrat?"
"There are many; but the leading one is that the former fights for his principle and the latter for his interest."
SOCIETY
"Dad, what's a social scale?"
"Well, generally speaking old man, it's a place where money is weighed."
REGULAR CUSTOMER--"I shall want a large quant.i.ty of flowers from you next week for my daughter's coming out."
FLOWER WOMAN--"Yes, mum. You shall 'ave the very best for 'er, pore dear. Wot were she put in for?"--_Punch_.
WILLIS--"What makes you think it is easier for a rich man to land in Society than for an immigrant to land in America?"
GILLIS--"In the former case the literacy test isn't as strict."
AUNT--"You'll be late for the party, won't you, dear?"
NIECE--"Oh, no, auntie. In our set n.o.body goes to a party until everybody else gets there."
Man it attracted to society by a desire to improve himself; and leaves it for the same reason.
SOCIOLOGY
Catalog Cla.s.s: "300 is the number for sociology. Now what does that word mean to you, children?" One little girl stands up, smooths out her frock, straightens her bow, folds her hands, and, being properly adjusted to recite, exclaims: "Sociology is a science that teaches you how to sew."
SOLDIERS
Noah would have saved future soldiers a lot of trouble if he had swatted those two cooties when they marched up the gang plank of the ark.

SOUVENIRS
Secretary of State Lansing slipped out of the council chamber and went souvenir hunting in the palace. Luck was with him, he said, for he found a remarkable piece of antique wall-paper.
Next day a frantic j.a.panese stenographer was looking for his shorthand notes.
