The knowledge of her neighbor's infirmity added to the young lady's diffidence in the matter of address- ing him ; and as he said nothing to her, they sat side by side in silence for almost the entire meal. As the dessert appeared upon the table, however, the lady made a desperate.attempt, determined that she would not allow her shyness to conquer her; and having cast about for a theme of conversation, found it in the fruit just before her. ** Do you like bananas ?" she inquired of her neighbor, in as dis- tinct and audible a voice as she could command ‘The old gentleman turned upon her a look of some surprise, not unmixed with a suspicion of disapproval at her question. “Tnever wear them,” he said laconically; ‘the old-fashioned night-shirt is good enough for me." The effect upon the young lady may be imagined. —Boston Courier. * LcaN stand almost anything,” said the ugly girl in the street car, “but I can’t stand half an hour"—and she got out.—Harvard Lam- foon.
