TT seems her husband had been out
very late, celsbrating-it was one Of
those holidays-and as he came home
in the rose flush of the morning he
thought il would be capital idea 10
take a bath before getting into bed. First
of all and most important, il would con-
tradict any wrong impression as TO his
condition, as his wife sometimes had
wrong impressions when he had been out
late at night. Women are SO suspicious.
So ne went boldly 10 the bathroom and
was soon splasning around as gayly as a
canary. In fact, he created such an IN
usual commotion that his wife woke up
and went to see what was the matter
Suddenly he saw her gazing through the
door with look so cold and contempt
uous that 1t struck chill TO his very
heart. But he made a dive for the soap
and went on industriously with his alb
lutions.

asked him.
He made the effort of his life to appear
debonair and perfectly sober.

the little fellow Out Of trouble
On one occasion, while little Frank
was walking up Powell street, near the
recently cremated Baldwin, he was met
by an elegantly dressed lady who
stopped and asked him what his name

.'Oh, my, how interesting" calculated
the lady. You are the most lovely
German child I have ever seen in my
life" And before little Franz could
realize just what was going to happen
she grabbed him up in her arms and
covered his face with kisses. And the
worst of it was that Franz brother was

performance.
On another occasion Franz and some
