forgotten that this is my birthday ?"
"Yes, dearie, I did forget it," replied the husband. "Isn't it
natural that I should? There isn't really anything about you to
remind me that you are a day older than you were a year ago."
_He Simply Looked That Way_
The man in the smoker was boasting of his unerring ability to tell
from a man's looks exactly what city he came from. "You, for
example," he said to the man next to him, "you are from New Orleans?"

"You, my friend," turning to the man on the other side of him, "I
should say you are from Chicago?" Again he was right.
The other two men got interested.
"And you are from Boston?" he asked the third man.
"That's right, too," said the New Englander.
"And you from Philadelphia, I should say?" to the last man.
"No, sir," answered the man with considerable warmth; "I've been sick
for three months: that's what makes me look that way!"
