"Poor old daddy! There never was =
nicer man In all this world. I'll give you
SO to buy something for him as well"
"You are awfully kind" said Mrs
Bowser as she wiped tear from her eye.

most loving husband in the world. If a
neighbor had come in just then to create
an interruption, all would have been we'll,
but fate willed it otherwise In his great
good nature, which in the average hus-
band is the prelude of row, Mr.. Bowser
whistled merry air and stroked the fam
