HOW A MARRIED WOMAN GOES 70
... SLEEP.

HUW a MARklED WUMAN GJES GO
SLEEP.
There is a.. article going the round en-
titled, GLOW Girls go to sleep" ..r l.
The manner insw hi ch they go to sleep,
according to this article, can't hold
candle to the way a married woman goes
to sleep. Instead of thinking of what she
should have attended to before going to
bed, she thinks of it afterward. While
she is revolving til ese matters in her
and while snugly tucked up in bed, the
old man is scratching his legs in front Of
the fire and wondering how he will pay
the next months rent. Suddenly she
says: ..t. r.,..~ ..-. at- - -'"
James, did you lock the door,
(which door, says james. -....
The cellar door, says she.
No. says James. ~.a ,f-
well, you'd better go down and lock it,
for heard some person in the back yard
last night ............. -.-...e.....s..-,.s..
Accordingly James paddles down stairs
and locks the door. About the time
James returns and is going to get into
bed, she remarks:
| Did you shut the stair doorV ul.
! No. says james.
well it is not shut tho cat will come
up into the bedroum.'
Let her come up says James, ill-nat-
uredly.. '..
My goodness, mop returns his wife !;
she'd suck the baby's breath"
Then James paddles down stairs again
and steps on tack, and closes the stair
door, and curses the cat and retnrus to
the bedroom. Just us he begin to climb
into his couch his wife observes
Il forgot to bring up some water. Sup
pose you bring some up in the big tin
Aud so James with u muttered curse,
goes down into the dark kitchen and
falls over a chair and rasps all the tin
ware off the wall in search of the ''bis
tin," and, then he jerks the stair door
open and howls."
! '.Where tho deuce are the matches "
She gives him minute directors, and
adds that she would rathu 80 and get
the water herself than have the neigh
borhood raised about it. After which
james finds the matches, procures the
water, comes up stairs and plunges into
bed Presently his wife says: ...
