An exchange tells Of lady who de-
cided to scare her husband, who was
quite a hard drinker. 80 he would re-
form. To do this she employed the
costume Of the devil she had worn at a
masquerade. The next time the erring
spouse came home feeling happy, she
quickly donned the costume. As be
opened the door she stepped forward
and In q sepuichral tone said: Come
with me, am the DEVIL" The result
rather startled her. rs the response
which greeted her was: "Zat 20 ?
