Mixed Path to Happiness.

“How nice and fit you look this morning! You always look so fresh after a shave,” said Myers to his wife as he entered the breakfast room. “How pretty that little house dress is that you have on!” she answered, with a smile. “What on earth are you two people talking about?” inquired the friend who was visiting them. “You see, we read an article in a magazine supplement once, entitled ‘Recipe For a Continuous Honeymoon,’ ” said Mrs. Myers. “It gave a list of the phrases that husband and wife should say to each other every morning before breakfast. George was so tickled with the idea that he cut them out and pasted them on the doors of our respective bedrooms. We were to use one of the phrases every morning. But it happened that lie pasted the two sections exactly wrong, so that the husband’s list was on my door and the wife’s on his. And now when he comes in and says to me. 'You don’t know how well that waistcoat sets off your great deep chest,' I answer, ‘What a dear, lovable little thing you are.!’ That's the answer. We have a lot of fun out of it. Great scheme, isn’t it?”—New York Press.
