OUR MODERN INFANT

_Genial Uncle:_ "Well, old chap, we've not done anything together for a
long time. How about the Zoo next Sunday, eh?"
_Small Boy:_ "Thanks very much. I can't say off-hand, but I'll ring you
up."

_Little Girl_ (_to Bride at wedding reception_): "You don't look nearly
as tired as I should have thought."
_Bride:_ "Don't I, dear? But why did you think I should look tired?"
_Little Girl:_ "Well, I heard Mummy say to Dad that you'd been running
after Mr. Goldmore for months and months."
