MODERN FAIRY TALES
HUSBANDS AND WIVES. Once upon a time a husband remembered to post his wifes' letter. There was once a wife who refused a new dress because she thought her husband couldn't afford it, "I'm very fond of your mother," said Mr. Jones to Mrs. Jones. "Let's ask her to go away with us this year!"
Once upon a time a modern girl with money married a poor man and let the ' 'obey" clause in the marriage service stand.
There was once a husband who got the early morning tea every day without a single grumble. "It was my fault, dear," said the wife of the henpecked man after a domestic squabble. "I shall be home early," said the clubman to his wife. He was!
Once upon a time a woman was ready to go before her husband. "She's much better looking than I could ever hope to be," said Mrs. Brown to her husband after being introduced to one of his old flames.
"Here's the' change from that ten shilling note you gave me to buy you some socks," said Mrs. Robinson to her husband.
