CRAFTY HUSBAND.

Ah arcade shopkeeper tells us that a well-dressed man of about forty came into his place the other day aad asked to see some chafing dishes. Ha didn’t care for the first one shown him, nor the second. “Let me see some nicer'ones—more expensive,” he said. So some very flossy ones were shown him, but still he was not satisfied. “I want a chafin 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. Yom* wife .don’t want to use it for anything but to look at.” The customer’s * face brightened wonderfully. ‘Til take that one,” he grinned.
