Sex in Trunk Packing.

s'The man who takes over ten minutes TO
mack trunk is dolt.' said Mr.. Bowerman,
as he slammed down the lid and turned the
kew. Mrs Bowerman had been at it just seven
DAYS and seven nights, and when the husband
went ND stairs at 10 o'clock, she sat down be-
fore the open trunk with tears in her eyes.
"You see how it is" she exclaimed, as he
looked down upon her in awful contempt
"I've got only part of my dresses in here say
ing nothing of thousand other things, and
even now that lid wont shut down. I've got
such a headache L must lop down for few
minutes She went away to lop, and Mr.. Bow
erman sat down and unused: "Space is space.
The use of space is in knowing how to utilize
it." Removing everything, he began repack-
ing He found silk dress could be rolled to
the size of a quart jug. A freshly starched
lawn was made to take the place of pair OF
slippers. Her brown bunting fitted into the
niche she had reserved for three handker-
chiefs and her best bonnet was packed full OF
Undertaking. He sat there viewing sufhclent
empty space to pack in whole bed when she
returned, and said he was the only real good
husband in this world, and she kissed him on
the nose as he turned the key. Its simply the
difference between the sexes" was his patron
izing reply, as he went down stairs to turn on
the burglar alarm. When that wife opened
that trunk last night! But screams and shrieks
would avail nothing.-Detroit Free Press.
