BARGAIN BUNCHES
A man was wakened in the night to find his wife weeping uncontrollably. “My darling,” he exclaimed, “what is the matter.” “A dream!” she gasped. “I’ve had such a horrible dream!” Her husband begged her to tell it to him in order that he might comfort her. After long persuasion, she said : I thought I was walking’ down tlie street, and I came to a warehouse, where there was a large notice, ‘Husbands for Sale.’ You could get beautiful ones for fifteen hundred pounds, or even for twelve hundred, and very nice-looking ones for as low as a hundred.” The husband asked innocently: “Did you see any that looked like me?” The sobs became strangling. “Dozens.-of them, 7 gasped the wife; “done up in.bunches like asparagus and sold for ten shillings a bunch.”
