JOY-RIDE LOST ITS JOY

GAY HUSBAND ’ S SHOCK. NEW YORK, Oct. 21. When is a joy-ride not a joy-ride! This question was apked, very unkindly, of a man avlio found himself defendant in a divorce action last week. He told his wife one evening that he was going back to the office. She quite believed him and went out later with \ a woman friend to go to the pictures. En route the two women recognised the husband's car outside the residence of a third woman, known to the other two. They halted, discussed matters, and decided to get into the back seat, and hide as well as possible, and wait to see.what the news was going to be. By and by the first woman’s husband came out with the third woman, and he was so interested in her that he did not even glance at the back seat. The car was driven swiftly to the seashoie, and there was halted while the two on the front seat had a heart-to-heart talk in the moonlight. After a while the wife bent over, touched her husband on the, shoulder, and said sweetly: “John, I’ve had enough of this. Drive us home! ” “He gulped and looked as if he had seen a ghost,’’ said his wift to the judge. “The other woman beat it.” ■ The wife was given the car as well as her decree. .
