Who is always very efficient and
one evening not long ago when he was
going out to Gage park with a swim

way to do would be to put his bath
ing suit on and his clothes over it.
He did so without saying anything to
his wife about it and when they got
to Gage all was well except that this

the dressing room. He soon reap
peared in his own suit to tell the>joke
on himself.
