I shall have been married twenty-seven years the day after to-morrow. Yon may find some benefit in contemplating it. Here is a boot—a plain, ordinary boot it seems to you. Well, it is plain, if rather large. That boot is labelled "The first break." It was dropped by my husband over the bannister on his return from the club. We had been but two weeks married then. The noise of the falling boot awoke me. I found him—well, feebly intoxicate. This is a withered rose. This flower I saw him, with my own eyes, place in the bosom of a sewing girl who worked for me. I was in the next room. He kissed her then. I scut the hussy to the right-about and retained the rose. This is a menu. Well, one of my bitterest enemies gave a dinner and invited him. They had been sweethearts beforo he married me. I found the menu in his pocket. I talked about it to him next day. He may have dined there since, but I have not discovered any more menus.
