| A MISTAKEN IMPRESSION. ------------------------ A young couple about to be married were looking for a country house. They fixed on one. On the way home the young lady very thoughtfully asked: ''Edward, did you notice any WC.?" "No", said Edward, and he wrote and asked the landlord where it was located. Being a country gentleman he was ignorant of what W.C. meant, and understood it to be the Wesleyan Church, and wrote back :- Dear Sir, I have great pleasure in informing you that the W.C. is situated about 9 miles from the house, and is capable of holding 250 persons. This is an unfortunate situation if you are in the habit of going regular, but no doubt you will be glad that a number of people take their lunch with them, and make a day of it while others, who can't afford the time, go in motors and arrive in time. It will also interest you to know that my daughter was married in the W.C. In fact, it was there that she met her husband. I remember the marriage well on account of the rush for seats. There were ten on a seat that usually held two. It was wonderful to watch the expression on their faces. My brother was there, too. He had gone regular since he was christened. A wealthy resident erected a bell over the W.C. last week to be rung every time a member enters. A bazaar was held last week next door, the proceeds to help to provide plush seats, as members feel this a longfelt want. My wife and I are getting old, now, and do not go so regular as we used to. It is four months since we went last, and I can assure you it pains us very much not to be able to go regular. Yours truly, W. McSquirt. |
