New Readings Of Old Proverbs

London Tit-Bits has "twisted" 12 proverbs as follows: "All is not beer thut's bitter. The pledge in time saves crime. It's the long cañe that cures llow learniug. She talks most wko talks f ast. Who can 't be cured should be incnrciL There's many a tip 'twixt the meal and the lip. The nearer the bed the colder the sheet. When the f uel goes into the fire, the fog flies out of the cbimney. Marry for taste - man, rather than treasure. Once kitten, now pie. It isn't the scowl that makes one funk. Half a sofa's better than no bed. "
