his Ievel-headed wife, and two or
three men of business such as all
of us encounter, any day in the

like human beings and not in the

Miss Hayes, remembered from

soon realizes that the husband she
loves so dearly is. mentally, a boob,

have leaped up in his bedstead in

have seen his simple, impulsive,' in
