Until Husband

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Dec.t lit
behooves all married tightwads who
wear false teeth to beware Oft
times the subject OF ridicule and
frequently swallowed artificial teeth
have at last been found to serve a
practical purpose in domestic iife;
at least Frank Jefferson, Of this
city, thinks so.
Jefferson in divorce court told a
narrowing story OF the manner I'm
which his wife had frequently forced
him TO come across" with money
by the simple expeiient OF taking
his false teeth and hiding them
The odd thing, TO Jefferson's way
OF thinking. was that even when ne
waxed angry his wife would refuse
to. return his teeth. Only Uncle
Sans coin OF the realm would per-
suade her that her husbands mo-
lars were essential and necessary to
his daily existence.
Mrs. Jeferson's side of the case
was terse and 10 the point--her hus.
band had refused her the money she
believed she was entitled TO as lady
of the house. Consequently sne
took measures to get it.
