What Every Woman Knows.
A Cleveland schol teacher writes
Jhat she asked her class what was the
difference between the expressions, "a
while" and “a time." Nobody seemed
to have any ideas on the subject.
Finally the light of intelligence was
seen to shine in the eyes of one little
boy. and the teacher called upon him
to save the intellectual honor of the
class.
“I know, teacher!" he cried eagerly.
“When papa says he's going out for a
while, mamma says she knows he’s
going out for a time!"
That's one way of looking at it.—
Cleveland r’lain Dealer.
