SHOWS WIFE IT IS

An Irving avenue N resident showed fine un-
derstanding of the psychology Of charity yester-
day afternoon. Taking $4.5O, the weeks earn
ings of his 16-year-old son, he went out and
accumulated jag which was without a peer
In its class. He returned to his family feel
ing that he had performed his duty toward the
community in general and toward himself in
particular.
His wife did not coincide with his views, and
read him lecture, entirely lacking in am
biguity and far from complimentary. Had he
been an ordinary man he would have had no
recourse except to make ab5ect surrender and
sign the pledge. But he rose to the occasion,
'See here, my DEAR he said. 81 always
