MRS. BowsER LEARNS EUCHRE
And Mr.. Bowser Raises a Row
About II.

Mrs. Bowser had said something at
the breakfast table about doing some
housecleaning that day, but if Mr.
Bowser heard he made no comment
and took no interest After he had
departed she put in a hard DAYS work
cleaning one of the bedrooms, and Mr.
Bowser might have patted her on the
arm and said a few words of praise
when he came home to dinner. He
did nothing of the kind. however
Someone had passed a lead nickel on
him during the day. and while he did
not exactly ache for row, it was ap-
parent that he felt edgewise. There
was irritation on the other side, but
peace remained unbroken. Dinner
had been over for an hour and Mr.
Bowser had skinned over his paper
and finished his cigar when he sud
denly asked:
why don't you learn to play
euchre. so that we can go out for an
evening occasionally"
Why, I know how to play" re-
piled Mrs Bowser
That is. you think you do
But I'm sure I do. I believe I'm
pretty fair player"
'-Humphl Suppose you get the
cards out"
"AH right
There had. been several games of
euchre played in the Bowser family,
and in each and every instance there
had been a row, caused by Mr.. Bow
ser's queer understanding of the rules
of the game On the last occasion
Mrs Bowser had said that she would
never play cards with him again, and
therefore he was considerably sur
prised at her present willingness She
got out the table and cards, and as
Mr.. Bowser looked more closely at
her he didn't feel easy in his mind
Is this game going to be accord

were ready.
