courted by tailor somewhat younger
than she. On Sundays and occasional

was in the habit OF taking his lady for
extended promenades and visits to res.
taurants, where the latter always paid
the expenses. She also provided him
regularly with his supper.
Presently, however, the awful truth
was brought home to the cook that she
was not the only friend on whom the
man OF the scissors and the needle law
ished his affections. Nothing 10th. she
went to the nearest police court, suing
the faithless one for all the expenses
of the clandestine meals provided by
her, and all the money spent when

The tailor, however, was once again
too much for her. Instead of appearing
before the tribunal as a repentant sim
ner, he came into court with a long
bill in his hand, on which an account
was given Of the time lost from his
work while going out with his cook.
When the two bills were compared the
difference of $40 was In favor Of the
tailor, and the lady was ungallantly
compelled to pay every penny OF 1t.
