A young couple about to be married were looking for a house in the country. Seeing the house and satisfying themselves it was suitable, they went home. On the return journey the young lady was thoughtful, and when asked for the reason for her silence, replied "Did you notice a W.C. ?"

He, not having done so, wrote immediately to the Landlord as to where it ws situated. The Landlord did not understand what W.C. meant, and after thinking it over for a few hours, came to the conclusion that it meant Wesleyan Chapel. He replied as follows:

Dear Sir,

I very much regret the delay in replying to your letter, but I have the pleasure of telling you that the W.C. is nine miles from the house and capable of seating 200 people.

This is very much unfortunate for you if you are in the habit of going regularly, but you will be glad to know that a great many people take their lunch with them, and make a day of it, others that cannot spare the time, go by auto, arriving just in time, but generally they are in such a hurry they cannot wait.

The last time my wife and I went was 6 years ago, and we had to stand up all the time. It may interest you to know a Bazaar is going to be held to furnish the W.C. with plush Seats, as its Members feel it a long felt want. I mention the fact that it pains us not to go more often.

Yours faithfully,
