Trouble for Hubby.

At a recent tea party where .the fare provided could not by any means be termed palatable a guessing game was instituted, and the lady who won it was asked to say what she would have a« a prize. She greatly flattered her young hostess by requesting a slice of the cake with which some of them had desperately struggled at tea time. "Why did you ask for that stuff?” a disappointed and still hungry youth asked her. "You know very well It isn’t fit to eat.” "I have a definite purpose (n view,” answered the young lady, carefully placing the piece of cake where there would be no possibility of her forgetting eat It—if necessary, to force it down his throat crumb by crumb—and thus convince him that somewhere in the wide, wide world there is an even worse cook than he imagines his inexperienced young wife to be.”—Pearson’s Weekly.
