Why Her Husband Never Forgot.

Two married Indies were talking about their respective and .respected lords. “Does your husband forget things?” asked one. “Never,” said the other. “Well, mine does. I think there is hardly a day when he comes home from his office that he doesn’t begin to apologize for his forgetfulness. Of course, I have to accept the apology on his promise to do better, and the next day the very same thing occurs.” “That must be extremely annoying.” “It is. Sometimes I get so vexed with him that I really have to scold him.” “And that never is pleasant.” “I should say not. I’m sure I'd rather be anything else than a scold, but some husbands actually drive theiT wives to it. I’ve been married ten years, and sometimes I almost fear if he doesn’t improve he will have my temper utterly spoiled.” “I’ve been married a dozen years and I never have any such trouble.” “Maybe your husband is an exception?” “No; he’s only average as married men go.” “Wasn’t he ever forgetful?” “He was at first, but I cured him of it.” “Gracious! I think mine is incurable.” “Oh, no. You can cure him easily if you will uso my remedy.” “I'm sure I’ll be only too glad to. What Is it?” “Never ask him to get anything for you. Get it yourself. He has enough to think about without being errand boy.”^ “Oh!” exclaimed the first woman, and remained silent for as much as two minutes.
