were a source OF annoyance TO Mrs. Glenn

husband on the subject.
On the occasion OF one particularly Ions
call of this sort. the indignant wife read
her spouse a curtain lecture. Returning
from this, saddened and repsntant, the
mournful humorist carefully wrapped up a
collar and cravat in . sheet OF brown paper
and dispatched them to Mrs Stowe with
the following explanatory note:
