Her Cigars.

“My dear,” said he the day after their wedding anniversary, “I’ll Just take those cigars to the office. It’s customary, you know, to have a box handy in one’s office.”

That morning he sent the box of Extras down to his friend Jones, with his compliments, and he chuckled at the Joke he was playing on Jones. When be met Jones in the elevator he was persuaded to have one of his own cigars, which Jones said were “all right.” He accepted one and, to his dismay, found they were “all right” That evening when he arrived at home he said to his wife: “My dear, I smoked one of those cigars you gave me and liked it very much. How did you happen to pick out such good ones?” “Well, I’ll tell you. You made such a fuss about your birthday box that I got the young man next door to buy this box for me.” i “Oh-h-h!” said the dear husband. And he muttered to himself, “Just like a woman, bless her—always go contrary to expectations!”—Buffalo Times.
