AstonIshed Husband.

De Wolfe Hopper tells good story
about the domestic unhappiness of an
other actor. The hero of the joke was
a man who had married because the
woman had much money, although no
beauty. Naturally, after the wedding
ceremony and the acquisition of the
brides financial resources, the hus-
band was never very attentive to her.
Another member of the company in
which the couple were appearing was,
however, far more appreciative of the
lady's charms, and proceeded to make
love to her in an ardent but stealthy
manner. The grand finale came one
evening when the actor discovered
the other man kissing his wife. The
/, fond lover stood petrified with fear
and expected to be shot down the
next moment.
No such thing happened The out
ragged husband only lifted his hands
toward the ceiling with gesture OF
Intense surprise, and exclaimed:
