Cause and Effect.

Apropos of Eastertide, the following little story, which has reached me, may be worth a smile. It was Easter Sunday, and the wife already had arrayed herself in her spring finery. She made a pretty picture as she stood be- • fore the mirror in her “peg top” skirt and her chic little hat of a French model. Outside the procession had begun. The air was vibrant, with church bells. There was a riot of gay costumes. For some reason or other, Friend < Husband was slow. Finally the wife became impatient. “Henry,” she expostulated, tapping her feet, “can’t you hurry? What’s the use of my hawing a S6O hat unless somebody can see it?” “Just a moment, dear,” temporized the patient Henry; “just a moment, while I trim my cuffs.”—Chicago Inter Ocean. %
