Bi MIs' BOWsER.
Some time since ! referred TO the fact
that l had carefully preserved, ar.
ranged and filed all of Mr.. Bowser's
love letters, and advised every bride
to do the same thing. | now desire
to reiterate that advice. | really
don't know how | could get along with
Mr.. Bowser if | did not have this
leverage on him. Like all other hus-
bands, he has his sudden fits and his
hours OF forgetfulncsS. lie wanted Il
pair Of pinchcrS TO use for something.
and because they were not right at
hand. he made a gesture of despair and
exclaimed:
"Oh, Of course, | must get used to
it, suppose. Such a housckeepcr as
you are Mrs. Bowscrm
Here they are. You left them on
the lounge yourself last night"
Lay it on me, of course. What's
that young 'un believing about now?n
''lIe fell down"
Doesn't he know enough to stand
up? Did the wood come up ~
mo"
ut didn't? | ordered It the first
thing this morning This is the worst
run house in Detroit -
"Do | run the wood yards 2"
"But why didn't you tell me it
hadn't come up? It's a wonder the
gIrI hast quit to climax our troubles"
'Sllc went an hour ago."
Mr.. Bowscr sat down and looked at
mca long time. Then he sighed deep
yand said
"Well, | suppose | must stand it,
but it's h%ard-very hard. This is
what comes of marrying a girl who
has been brought up IN caramcls and
novels"
went upstairs and brought down
the package Of letters. Selecting one
marked Exhibit A." filed september
10, 1884" | began to read
my Angel Onc-I send you another
box of caramclS and five of the latest
novels, and | hope you will thorough
lycnjoy them. You were lamenting the
fact that you knew so little of house
work. | am glad of it. Angels are
not expected to fry pork and wash
dishes. You shall have a dozen house
keepers when we are married, and you
shall never know a household care"
''That's "A base forgery, shouted Mr:I
Bowscr, as | finished reading.
"Oh, no, it isn't. l expected the day
would come when you would say SO,
and mother attcsts it as IA witness"
"Wcll, if l wrote it | must have
been asleep"
And only the other day Mr.. Bowscr,
when got IA new dress home, you said

and that my ideas of harmony would

read
my bcautiful-Thc picture of my

toilet, and harmony is second nature
with you. Oh. my little angel, you-"

"Of course"
Never! The man who says | was

"There goes that young 'un again.

like a calf mired in a ditch"
"But see here, Mr.. Bowscr." And
selected a telegram marked Exhibit
B-l-orlginal," and attested by my
father, mother, and nurse, and read:
"Chicago, November 20, lSS7.-My
Darling-Thank God for the news of
the birth of our son !! My heart swclls
with love. Heaven has surely blessed
