Chicago Herald. “Charles,” said a sharp-voice woman to her husband, “do you know that yon and I once had a romance in a railway car?” “Never heard of it,” replied Charles in a subdued tone. “I thought you hadn’t, but do ’t you remember that it was that pair of slippers 1 presented to you seven years ago last Christmas —the Christ mass before we were married—that led to our union? You remember how nicely the fitted, don’t you? Well Charles, one day when we were going to a picnic you had you had your feet up on a seat, and when you wasn’t looking I took your measure. But for that pair of slippers I don’t believe we’d ever been married.” A young unmarried hian sitting near by immediately took his feet down from a; seat.
