SERVICE STAR
_The Gold Star_
Little golden service star,
How I wonder who you are.
Does a sweetheart, or a wife,
Love you, little star of "Life?"
Or a mother, proud but sad,
Who gave all, her only lad?
When I first beheld you there
You were blue, born with a prayer.
Golden star and star of blue--
With one soul God gave to you--
Do you know how proud we are
Of the golden service star?
--_Beth Nichols_.
SHOPPING
CLERK--"Now see here little girl, I can't spend the whole day showing
you penny toys. Do you want the earth with a little red fence around
it for a cent?"
LITTLE GIRL--"Let me see it."
"How can you tell when a woman is only shopping?"
"When they intend to buy they ask to see something cheaper. When
they're shopping they ask if you haven't something more expensive in
stock."
In a busy department store, a lady asked to see blankets. After the
clerk had emptied the shelves and piled the counters with blankets
of every description and color, the lady thanked him and said: "I was
just looking for a friend."
"Well, madam," said the obliging clerk, "if you think your friend is
among these blankets, I'll look again.
