SPEAKING at a dinner, Dr. W. Primrose Walker told a story about a school teacher who was removing hêr hat and coat in the cloakroom, when she was joined by one of her colleagues.
"Good morning, Miss—" said the first teacher. "I hear you are leaving us to get married."
"No," said the second teacher, "I am leaving because I have reached the age limit, but hank heavens for the rumour."
Sub-Editor's Secret Life Tue man with the iron teeth, has said with bitter joy that the broken engagement announced between Mr. So-and-so and Miss Such-and-such "is the 34th to be publicly announced this year."
One believes that after each such announcement he opens his door at midnight to let the good news in, and howls like a wolf.
News of the re-marriage of divorced persons is enough to send him to bed for a week. But in his way he revels in life.
