What is known in a certain town as "A Shop Carnival" was being held, and little girls represented the various shops. One, dressed in a white muslin frock gaily strung with garlands of bonbons, advertised the local sweet shop.
When the festival began she fairly glistened with attractive confectionery, but as time wore on her decorations grew less. Finally, at the end of the last act, not a bonbon was to be seen.
Why, Dora, cried the stage manager, "where in the world are all your decorations? Have you lost them?"
Oh, no, replied Dora; "they're perfectly safe. I'm wearing them inside."
