Last Sunday morning the mother of young America dressed Gibbs in his Sunday clothes and gave him a few instructions as to how he should deport himself at Sunday school, it being his first venture. He was told it was his duty to answer all questions promptly and correctly, and was given an insight into the Garden of Eden, the story of creation, the names of the first man and woman, etc. Just before his departure for church the following dialogue ensued:
Mother - "Gibbs, who was the first man?"
Gibbs - "Adam."
Mother - "Who was the first woman, my son?"
Gibbs scratched his head, hesitated a moment then replied, "Mrs. Adam!"
The rehearsal terminated abruptly and the three-year-old was the master of the situation. - Beau Monde.¹
