Just Found a Soul.

Talking Of JekylI and Hyde eff
fects," said a chronic bachelor at the
club, Il got the surprise of my life the
other night. Met a woman, the wife
of friend who married her a year or
so ago. Knew her before marriage
and always thought she was too home
ly ever to find a husband-one Of the
sort that polite writer's call 'uncompro-
misingly plain
well, sir, when l entered her home
last night she had the same old face
made me feel sorry for her husband,
really. Then she got to talking about
some charitable work she is engaged
in for crippled children-and, presto,
she suddenly became beautiful! Never
saw such a transformation in all my
life, really-not the same woman some
how.
The deuce of it is couldn't dissect
the change, but l guess the eyes had
more to do with it than any other
feature. l had an idea of advising her
husband TO confine her conversation to
that particular charity, but I'm afraid
he'd regard it as a bit PERSONAL---VERY.

She watched him as lie busted him
