BALLS

A young married couple who lived near a famous golf-course were

entertaining an elderly aunt from the depths of the country.

"Well, Aunt Mary, how did you spend this afternoon?" asked the hostess

on the first day.

"Oh, I enjoyed myself very much," replied Auntie with a beaming smile,

"I went for a walk across the fields. There seemed to be a great many

people about, and some of them shouted to me in a most eccentric manner,

but I just took no notice. And, by the way," she went on, "I found such

a number of curious little round white things. I brought them home to

ask you what they are."
