WOMEN ALWAYS AHEAD.-We all know
what brutes we make of ourselves about but
tons How, when anything vexes us down
town we 90 home and scold our dear wives
about missing shirt buttons We know it is
mean and cowardly, but then we all are
guilty Of the same offense. We have friend,
who. though kind in the main, and indulgent
to his lovely wife, is, notwithstanding, aper-
feet tyrant in regard to buttons. She, know
ing his weakness, always goes about armed
with thread and needle, ready to replace a
button the moment it falls The other day
our friend went home in bad humor. He
determined to appease the Old Adam within
him by doing something to yex or grieve his
wife. He oyerhauled a whole dozen shirts
Not a button was missingl lie was at los.
to know how to proceed-for he was deter
mined to do something mean or die Poking
round in the corners he finally found some
old, dirty cravats. Providing himself with a
bowl of water and some soap he marched
into his wife's room, and with an abused
look, began to wash them. He expected of
course burst Of tears But nothing of the
sort She went on humming cheerful tune,
watching him silly out of the corner Of her
eye. lie stopped the water, ratified the bowl
ana wrung out the cravats ostentatiously in
order to attract her attention, but all to no
purpose. He hung them on the towel rack,
and strobe out--a miserable man. The next
morning. while at breakfast, she looked
roguishly across the table, into his still sad
and disappointed eyes and said, 81 say hus
band-are you going to iron those erarats to.
