and would like you to go along"

makes his preparations accordingly.
Then when the visitors arrive at his
| abode he pretends to be immensely
astOn1shed, and says he never dreamed
OF such visitation; but the fact that
he is wearing his Sunday shirt, and
has his hair parted In the middle.
gives the lie to all his protestations.
There is no serious objection to a
surprise party when the victim is
warned in advance, although, as have
shown. it encourages skullduggery and
hypocrisy, for no man can be thor
Oughly honest who pretends amaze
ment over a visit he has been plan
ming for.
but the genuine surprise party is
an outrage and people who resort to
1t should be severely punished. There's
nothing more humiliating to q self
respecting man than to have a whole
neighborhood blow into, his dwelling
when he isn't looking for it.
when I am at home I sacrifice
everything to personal comfort. I
take off my shoes and collar and neck
tie, and roll up my shirtsleeves and
slip my suspenders down over my
arms. don't care how I look If I am
feeling at ease. If / am expecting
visitors. I go to my boudoir and fix
myself up so look like a bridegroom.
My wife has theories, similar to mine,
and doesn't believe in being arrayed
in purple and fine linen all the time.
But she wouldn't be seen looking
slouchy for anything.
'Some months ago my wife casually
remarked to neighbOr that my birth
day would occur on the following
wednesday, and that neighbor, being
confirmed busybody, got busy and
organized a surprise party. I never
received the faintest hint Of the
scheduled catastrophe, and on the
evening of my birthday I was lying on
the floor of the sitting room, with
about a hundred newspapers around
me. My wife was wearing an old
wrapper, and was popping corn on the
kitchen stove. There was nobody else
In the house, and we had no idea visi-
tors would come, for 1t was bad
night.
"AbOut eight O'Clock, just when I
was thinking Of going to bed, there
was knock at the front door. My
wife thought 1t was some boy on an
errand SO she went to the door with a
Stovehook in one hand, and the corn
pepper in the other, and she gave a
shrek of anguish when she saw the
mass meeting ON the front porch The
minute the door was open all those
delegates pushed themselves in, smil-
ing and giggling as though they were
doing something mighty funny.
sour house hadn't been In such dis
order in twenty years. 1t looked as
though couple of amateur teams had
been playing basketball In 1t. My
wife and began apOlogizing and ex-
planning, as people will do under such
although they know that
nobody will believe what they say;
the guests assured us that it was all
right, but I could see them squirting
around and making mental notes for
future reference, and inside of week
the story was all over town that our
house was fright, and no respectable
cow could live in it.
"That was the most miserable even
ing / ever spent, my friends, and
have never forgiven the people who
took part in that uprising. And you
may be sure I'll never treat another
