001C9650 December 14, 1928. Whimsical Review Always the Same A.-- I maintain that love-making is just the same as it always was. B.--How do you know? A.-- I just read about a Greek maid- en who sat and listened to a lyre all night. Volunteer Assistance First Lady--"iVe got a hund- red-dollar radio set and had the electricians come in and attach it." Second Lady--"That's noth- ing. 4Ve had a five-hundred-dol- lar set and the shefiff came and attached it." Doctor: "I'l have to charge you $60 for improving your hearing T" Scotch Buyer: "'LVhat Tre "I say, your bill is $50." "Can't hear you, sir." "Then I won't charge you a cent." "Thanks, doctor." At a college examination a professor asked: "Does the ques- tion embarass you?" "Not at all, sir," replied the student; "not at all. It is quite clear. It is the answer that bothers me!" Cooperation Cooperation is the greatest power in the world for accomplishment. This seems to have been overlooked by a little girl who, after being pun- ished many times by her mother, said: "You heard me say my prayers last night, didn't you, mother T" ) "Yes, dear.""And you heard me ask God tomake me a good girl?" "Yes." "Well, He ain't done it." "Jim, that necktie you are wearing is the worst I ever saw." "Say, dine with us tonight, will you, old man?" "Sure! But ivhat's the connec- tion '?" "I want you to repeat that re- mark before my wife." A little girl was put in an upper berth for the first time. She kept crying till her mother told her not to be afraid because God would match over her. "bIother, nre you there T" she cried. "Yes." "Father are you there T" "Yeah." A fellow-passenger lost all patiencc at this point and bellowed forth: "iVe're all here! Your father and mother and brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles and cousins. All here; now go to sleep." There was a pause; then, very soft- ly "biotherl" "AVell T" "iVas that God T" She (as train toots at grade crossing--"George, you go right ahead. Don't let that big brute bully you." "How much life insurance does your husband carry?" "Hardly enough to be worth shoot- ing." Blinks -- "Times have changed." Jinks--"I'l say. It used to be when a man was run down he took a tonic, now he takes an ambulance or a hearse." A merchant, complimenting his un- 'ucatcd negro clerk, said: "Sambo, I don't understand how you can do all your work so ctuickly and so well.""I'l tell yuh how 'tis, boss. I sticks de match of enthusiasm to de fuse ob energy--and I jcs'aturally ex plodes." "Shurere Two Irishmen were excavating for u proposed building, when an inter- ested spectator inquIred: "How ls it, I'at, although you and iblike started work together, he has a bigger pile of dirt than you T" "Shure," was the quick retort, "an'e's diggin' bigger hole." Scottish Society The AVest Vancouver Scottish Society's regular meeting is scheduled for Friday, December 21st at the Clachan Hotel at 8.15 p. m. The Society has been fortun- ate in securing ~lr. Noel Robin- son of the Vancouver Dicken's Fellowship to give an address on Charles Dickens. Alr. Noel Robinson will review several of the great author' works and proposes to particu- larly bring in the Tale of 'Iso Cities with reference to Sir hlar- tin Harvey. During the evening music and refreshments N ill be interspers- ed and hlrs. Howieson will be soloist. The meeting will be an open one and members are invited to bring a friend. Dickens is a great subject at any time but his memory lingers around everything connected with the Christmas season, so that the society feels that this meeting is a real opportunity to renew acquaintance with the de- lightful ivorks of Charles Dick- ens. NORTH VANCOUVER BROWNIES FLY Ul'nterestingCeremony Held iVhen Brownies Promoted To Guide Companies. The Guides and Brownies of North Vancouver district held the annual flying up ceremony recently in the Knights of Pythi- as Hall, when a number of little girls left their Brownie days be- heind them, andwere received into Guide Companies. District Staff Captain Mrs. Deal was mis tress of ceremonies, and under her able direction both Guides and Brownies gave a fine display of marching and drill. An interesting feature of the afternoon was the presentation of prizes to the winners in the Brownie wild flower competition. The Brownies had worked hard during the summer, and quite a number of very creditable col- lections were sent in. Mrs. Fyfe- Smith acted as judge, assisted by Professor Davidson of the de- partment of botany, U.B.C. There were tivo first prizes, one, a book on wild flowers, by Julia EV. Henshaw, donated by Mrs. James, being won by Edith Mun- day, Pack No. 2; the other a camera given by Mrs. Fyfe- Smith, was won by Kathleen 1lcDowell, Jack No. 3. A second prize of a book, also donated by Airs. James, was won by Frances Botting. The prizes were pre- sented by Divisional Commis- sioner Miss Davies.
