Gathered Smiles

CRAFTY HUBBAND. An arcade shopkeeper tells us that a well-dressed man of about forty came into his place the other day and asked to Bee some chafing dishes. He didn’t care for the first onh shown mm, ncy the second. “Let me see some nicer ones—more expensive,” he said. 60 some very flossy onfes were shown him, but still he was not satisfied. "I want a chafln dish that is extremely showy,” he explained. "Something that will attract attention on any sideboard. All gold and silver and chasings and things.” > “Well, here’s one that is distinctly an ornament,” said the salesman. "The only trouble is that it’s so fine. Your wife don’t want to use it for anything but to look at." The customer’s face brightened wonderfully. "I’ll take that one,” he grinned.
