They were newly married and were
calling upon one of the friends Of the
bride who had been particularly pleas
ant upon the occasion of their we'd
ding. The bridegroom. apropos of
nothing. began to talk about phrenolo-
gy and told how his wife had discov-
cred two very prominent bumps on the
back Of his head. He was proud of
them. SO was she. and she passed him
around that the host and hostess might
feel the bumps and know of their ex-
'istence. Then she explained:
MY book on phrenology says that
they mean good memory and generos-
.ity."
It was evident that she was proud
LOT the facts. and SO was he. But the
host. being of an inquiring turn of
mind. wished to satisfy himself. so he
got down a chronological work from
one OF his library shelves and after
much labor found the bumps on the
chart. Turning to the notes, he read
seriously at first. then unsteadily. The
bride became suspicious. but she wa:
game and said:

the host read:
