MORE THAN HE EXPECTED.
Husband and wife had a little tiff. He buried his nose in a.morning paper, while she gazed out of the window with persistent intentness. Thus an hour and thirty minutes passed. A lady passed hy. Husband dropped his paper and looked at her admiringly."Ah!" he said, "that's a fine woman. And a widow, too. Don't you think she's handsome?" "Yes, rather. You seem to like widows." "Indeed, I do . They're charming." ■ Husband evidently thought this would pique his' partner. But it didn't. * "Alfred," said she, tenderly, placing her hand softly on* his arm. "Alfred, I was in the wrong a little while ago when I became angry with you, and I'm sorry, so sorry. Will you forgive your little wifey?" "Certainly. Don't say another word about it." "And will you grant a little request I have to make of you, hubby, dear?" "Of course. Anything that lies ,; in my power." "You say you think' widows ar© charming?" "Yes, I did say so, hut n "Then make me one; that's a good husband. Oh, I sEall Ibe so gappy."
