Very Particular.

Mrs. Morse had never used a telephone until her husband had one put into the house so that he might talk with her from his office whenever he wished. “I do just love to talk through the telephone!” Mrs. Morse declared after three days’ experience. “The time doesn’t seem half as long from morning till night as it used to when I never heard from you.” “I’m glad of that, my dear,” said her husband pleasantly. “I’ve thought once or twice from the number of times I had to ring up before getting any answer that you didn’t enjoy it." “Oh, no, George,” said little Mrs. Morse earnestly, “but you know sometimes when you ring me up I’m busy about my housework With my old apron on, and of course, knowing how particular you are, I always like to unpin my skirt and put on a clean white apron before I begin to talk to you, don't you see?”—Youth’s Companion.
