Men and Their Wives.

Simeon Ford, the raconteur, was
speaking on matrimony at a dinner in
New York.
"Matrimony should mean politeness,"
he said. But does It?
I'VE all remember the man who was
rebuked by policeman for swearing
at woman.
"'Why.' the man retorted angrlly
and yeproachfully, she's my wifep
"And the policeman, with con-
fused apology, hurried on.

Cured the other night at the theater.
