Adventure of a Dressing Gown.

A lady was anxious to make her hus-
band present on the occasion of his
birthday, aud it happening to fall in
winter, she thought dressing gown
would be most useful acquisition to his
domestic comfort So she went and
purchased fine Persian pattern, one
we'll wadded. Not remembering the ex-
act hight of her husband, she thought II
best to purchase one rather too long than
too short, to make sure of its usefulness.
The day was wet, the husband returned
in the afternoon, and she presented him
with the new article of comfort; and he
fancied it indeed great article Of COM
fort after be had put off his wet garments.
But ii was about ten inches too long
"Oi never mind" said the affection
ate wife, / can easily shorten it to suit
you"
They had a party in the evening, and
were very merry and every one admired
the beautiful dressing gown. After they
had gone to bed the wind and rain made
such noise that the wife couldn't sleep
her husband, however, snored unsteady.
She arose without disturbing him, took
the dressing gown, and commenced her
work, cutting off the length of ten inches
to make it suit her husbands stature,
and then went to bed again.
In the morning she was MP early 10
make some arrangements with her house
keeper, as several friends were expected
to dinner that day. Scarcely had the
lady left the room, when her sister-a
good natured old lady who lived with
tbem-stepped in on tip toe, in order not
to disturb the sleeper, took the dressing
gown, and fastening to her room, cut of
about ten inches. as she knew il was too
long the night before.
An hour after the gentleman awoke,
aud was now anxious to surprise his wife.
Ringing for servant, be was told to take
the dressing gown to tailor, and have j,
made shorter by ten inches. The good
wife was detained longer than she ex-
pected, and scarcely had the dressing
gown returned from the tailor's when she
came into the room. Her husband had
just risen. and proposed now to surprise
bis wife AID enjoy his comfort. Buthc=
surprised was bis better-half TO see her
husband 10 q fine Persian pattern shoot
iug,jscket instead Of a comfortable dress
ing-gown.
