SWALLOWED HER PEARL
Doctor Sees His Wife Eat Up 800
Gem and Spoil His Joke.

The wife of a well known New
York physician has had an ambition.
She has cut out every clipping she
can find telling of persons finding
beautiful pearls in raw oysters served
at restaurants and hotels. and when
aver she has dined out she has apol-
ogized for ordering oysters on the
ground that 1t was worth giving a
accent order on the chance of find
Ing a 500 pearl.
The husband finally had a splendid
idea. He was dining with her at a
well known hotel. and he slipped
round to the hotel in the afternoon.
A waiter received a liberal tip and a
pretty. lustrous pearl, with the order
to put IL in one of the oysters he
would serve. The dish was served,
the lady spoke as usual of her hopes
and swallowed the bivalve. The doc
tor watched with eager gaze. but
nothing happened.
A very much exasperated physician
told a friend about it in the lobby of
the hotel half an hour later.
"Confound ii ALL" he exclaimed.
that was the first time in her life
that she failed TO chew the oyster!
