A silent bore is like a dead donkey — not to be found. In a bore’s pres- ence it is impossible to get a word in edgeways. “A bore once said to me: “Our friend Smith is an impolite duffer. While I was talking to him yesterday he yawned eleven times.” But,’ said I, ‘perhaps he wa i yawning. Perhaps he wanted to something.’ ’’—Detroit Free Pr THE East Is West—In a London club, when the Chinese minister hap- pened to be present, a rather tactless speaker referred to the position of women in China and how they were debarred from so many of the privi- leges of men. He meant no ill, but what he said was indiscreet and led to a moment’s embarr: ng silence, after which the conversation was re- sumed on other subjects. The minister did not speak for a while, but presently, during a pause, he turned to the man who had made the critical remark: “This is a very beautiful club you have here, sir.” “Yes, I believe it is the finest.” “Much finer than your ordinary private houses?” “Certainly. None of our private houses is as large and beautiful as this,” was the response. “T suppose you have your women here—your mothers and sisters and wives and daughters. Of course, you must have them here to enjoy your beautiful house with you.” “Why, no. It is against the rules. They are not allowed here at all.” “Why not?” said the minister. And the clubman saw the point.— Sunday at Home. comicbooks.com
