A Washington woman and her hus-
band recently went visiting out west.
and while there paid visit for several
days to a brother of the Washington
man. The latter then came back to
Washington. and his wife remained IN
the western city, but transferred her
place of abode to another relative.
Her husband did not know of this re-
movaI, however. SO addressed his first
letter TO his brothers home The wife
of his brother thereupon picked up the
telephone and told the Washington
woman that she had a letter for her.
"Oh. just read it to me-" said the
Washingtonian.
All went well until the following

been mentioned. The principal prod

seemed to find it possible to cut the

doing business in this way, have been
patient in awaiting returns and in the
