_Not All the Time, But_----
A man saw a waiter in a restaurant spill a tureen of tomato soup over
a young lady's white gown.
The young lady, instead of flying into a passion, smiled. She said it
didn't matter. She continued to eat and to talk as though nothing had
happened.
This so impressed the man that he got an introduction to the young
lady, proposed to her at the end of a month or so, and was accepted.
Some time after the marriage he spoke of the tomato-soup accident.
"I shall never forget it," said the bride.
"Your conduct," said the man, "was admirable."
"I remember," she said, "that I did behave very well at the time; but
I wish you could have seen the marks of my teeth on the bedpost that
night."
