Why She Sat Down.
This morning a young lady was passing a residence; on the steps was a young man, and near him was a dog. In a flash her feet went out from under her and she went down on the icy walk. The dog in a playful mood rushed to her assistance, while the young man, not at all embarrassed asked:
"Did you fall?"
"Well, I should think I had," said the young lady, rising and rearranging her head gear.
"Yes," responded the youth, "I thought it must be funny if you sat down to play with the dog. - Albany Journal.
