THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE DINING
CAR.
The man who said he could tell the ma
tionality of the married folk he met on
the continent by the manner in which
they entered dining-rooms would find con-
irmation of his assertion that the Amer
lean wife always leads the way, followed
meekly by her husband, had he seen what
did the other day
/ CHANGED to be in dining-car and was
regaled with an amusing little episode.
A large buxom woman of 40 entered the
diner with her husband a-traifing after
her
She positively refused to accept the
proffered seat that the person in charge
suggested, but set her eye on a table
which seemed more desirable for some
reason or other.
Her husband, with an anxious express
zion on his face said audibly enough for
the others to hear:
why not sit here, Mamie?" it's the
shady side
She treated him exactly as she did the
head waiter
Then she reached the place she consid-
cred most desirable seated herself and
motioned her bewildered and frustrated
better half to the chair opposite
She picked up the menu and was just
about to read it. when a ray of sunlight
fickered in her eye and she squinted and
said angrily to her spouse:
This is the sunny side of the diner
II know it,, meekly responded her bet
ter half.
Then why did you choose it?" she
blandly inquired.
All of the spectators strained their
ears to hear his reply, but 1t did not
reach them, for before he could put his
indignation into fitting words, Madame
had arisen and plunged herself into seat
across the way. and the incident was
ended--at least so far as the public was
concerned
