VANISHING TROUSERS.
A Simple Trick Which May or May

A Simple Trick Which May or May
Not Be Humorous.
This is simple trick, and every mar
ried woman can perform 1t, but it re-
Quires the assistance of confederate
with Q big bag Of shining tinware on
his back. IA .,@.. sf..ssg ..s..
First get a husband with an extra
pair of slightly worn trousers in his
wardrobe; then have the confederate,
the man with the bag of tinware, come
to the, back door and knock gently.
The wife must then peep out in a
frightened way, and Immediately the
man with the tinware tells ia tale that
resembles an advertisement. The wife
stops to think few minutes Sudden
~ she must rush to the wardrobe, but
only after the man rattles the brilliant
tinware to arouse her. The wife must
walk back to the man again with the
trousers. The man must take them
and hand the wife a few tin pans. All
the while the man with the tinware
must smile happily. At last the trans
action Is completed, and, presto
change! the husbands trousers have
disappeared and in their place appears
some tinware on the kitchen table.
This trick is very novel and will
amuse the husband greatly. The trick
should not be performed while d, the
husband is in bed unless he has an
extra pair Of trousers.-F. P. Pitzer in
Judge.
