A Fatal Compliment.

This one is told of a very young
married woman: When her very
young husband came home for dinner
he found her flushed, but very trium-
phant. When they were seated at the
table she could hardly wait to say:
"How do you like your meat, dear?
Don't you think l have begun pretty

And he answered:
Eyes, darling. If there's anything
in the old saying that well begun is
half done you have certainly begun
