A most eminent heart specialist had been invited to a glittering social function. After some hours of shallow chatter he became engaged in an animated conversation with an extremely pretty young thing wearing a great expanse of makeup--and clothing that was somewhat less spacious.

Clearing his throat, the doc muttered, "Ah, my dear, that young lady and I were just engaging in a purely and quite grave professional conversation."
"No doubt," said his wife. "I can well imagine; but you must tell me if it was your profession--or hers?"
