HIS WIFE’S MERRY WELCOME

She Told Him She Had Sent Suitcase Containing Friend’s Belonging* to Rummage Sale. Mr*. Tubbs went to the hall and greeted her husband with her usual affection when he returned from town the other evening. After a few moments, when he was seated comfortably In his own particular armchair, he asked lastly: "By the way, queenie, I suppose a suitcase arrived all right about half an hour ago?” Queenie beamed on him roguishly—they’d only been married five months. "Yes, darling. And what an awful collection of old clothes it had in it! You naughty boy, hoarding up suchf disgracefully shabby things, when you had everything new only* a few months ago. I sent them straight away to the rummage sale —so there!” Tubbs had gradually assumed a petrified expression, which finally melted into one of extreme terror. "I sent those clothes down here for a special reason. They belong to a business friend who is coming to dinner tonight!”—Pittsburgh ChronicleTelegraph.
