THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN


Roanoake, Va.
THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who has cured her husband of
habit of long standing. The cure
wasn't so drastic a one as the woman
of the story employed, who when her
husband left his various articles OF
clothing strewed about the room after
dressing or undressing, went around
with a hammer and tacks and tackled
them to the chairs and the floor just
where he had left them, but it was
bad enough to go thru with. This
man in our town is very fond of must
cal comedy, and heretofore when ac-
companied by his wife to the theater,
he would rave during the entire per-
Torrance about the chorus, how good
looking they were, what beautiful
hair, eyes, their dancing, etc, until the
wife became so tired of it she decided
the habit must end Not long ago
they were in Kansas City attending
a vaudeville performance. When a
stage, the wife took her courage in
hand and began. After five minutes
sOr so of constant rawlings on her part
about the beauty of his hair, his
muscles, his lovely shoulders, his won
derful eyes, his sweet expression,
beautiful dancing, and his heavenly
smile, and with the eyes of a part OF
the audience sitting near her staring
curiously in her direction, the Topeka
man turned, eXclaiming, "Merciful
heavens, women, have you lost your
mind, what is the matter with you?"
To which she sweetly replied, 81 have
often wondered just exactly what was
the matter with you when you raved
over the chorus in a musical comedy"
The habit has been. broken and hasn't
reappeared since.
