  <abstract>"Witty Pieces by Witty People" is a collection of humorous stories and anecdotes written in the late 19th century. This anthology features a variety of comical situations, witty dialogues, and clever observations from various authors, aiming to amuse readers through light-hearted content and clever wordplay.   The opening of the collection introduces a piece featuring Mr. and Mrs. Bowser, where Mr. Bowser enthusiastically decides to host a progressive euchre party, convinced of his ability to gather a large number of guests. However, as the story unfolds, a series of humorous setbacks ensues, as declining RSVPs from friends quickly begin to pile up. Despite Mr. Bowser's confidence in event management, it becomes increasingly clear that managing social gatherings is more complex than he anticipated, showcasing the comical disarray associated with party planning.
