Too SMARr--A young married

his wife's toilet table. "To this
complexion have we come at last
he said, and flung it out of the open
window.
1t alighted safely on the head Of
q gentleman who was going to
church in his Sunday best, and en-
veloped him from head to foot like
a spring snow storm.
"Come down and be murdered" :"
lie yelled up to the man in the win
dow, shaking bis fist and dcscrib-
ing war dance.
"Come up and I'll fight you,"
shrieked the powder magazine
above.
The wife appeared as pacifica-
tor; armed with whisk-broom
she descended to the sidewalk and
her husband had the satisfaction
OF seeing her carefully dust off the
strange man while she made sooth-
ing apologies in invisible tones.
And the husband has concluded
not to interfere with his wif2's toi
let relations in the future.
