BOUND TO GET IN WRONG

Poor Piedwick Comes to Realize That Fact Early in His Happy Married Life. It was the second Tuesday of the first month of their married life. He had just returned from the horrid, horrid office, and now they were facing each other across their cozy, wozey little dining table in the dining room, tastefully furnished in the style of Louis XCVIII. “Piedwick,” she pouted, “you haven’t said a word about the dinner that I cooked for you with my eenie weeny own hands, you haven’t, you haven’tl” “My love 1” he cried, the light of an inexpressible admiration shining from all his eyes. “I never tasted such a magnollous, scrumptious, absolutely very-good Eddy dinner in my life. I never even smelt one. My angel, the man who could be Insensible to these incomparably prepared viands and foodstuffs would be a dog, an ingrate, a traitor and a boob —’’ He suddenly threw on the check reiif. Etheldita was crying! “You only love me for my cooking!” she sobbed. And to show his absolute neutrality he had to slam -his face down in his spaghetti, and she came over and picked the pieces off, and all was serene for eight minutes.—Detroit Free Press.
