Drawbacks of Society.

In a town of this size, the husbands of the “society” women have dress suits which they bought to be married in and have outgrown, but when an evening affair occurs, the “society" women stuff their fat husbands into the tight dress suits, and go. Then, at the party, ail the married women get together, and tell what awful times they had getting their husbands into the dress suits. If there is a sound as of something tearing, every married woman turns as white as death; she thinks it is her husband's trousers. At a late evening affair a married couple came late, and the woman explained to a group of married women that at the last moment she had to put gussets in her husband’s trousers, “and even with those gussets,” she said, “he don’t dare sit down.” Another woman said she had buttoned her husband’s vest with a button hook, and that he vowed he could not stand it, and threatened every minute to unbutton It. “If he does,” she said, “we will have to go home early; 1 just can’t get it together again.”—Atlanta Constitution. . . ,
