What They Discover.
Some surprises, not down on the programme, wait for the newly-married man as the play goes on. Ho learns that as a builder of plain, (substantial pie, whereof the upper crust is callous and the lower strata impervious to the action of heat, his wife is original both in design and execution. She is surprised to learn that he isn'b so good a manager as she thought, and wonders how ho manages to get his salary raised every year. He discovers that the sweetest-tempered little woman in the world carries a concealed temper with her, not noticing how 6orely and in how many new ways she is daily under trial. She is surprised to note that she is little by little becoming the waiter of the establishment, and not the head waiter, either. She remembers how he used to spring to pick up a glove, weighing less than a kiss, and now she raises his overcoat, weighing 81b, from whatever chair he may cast it on and hangs it up for him. The truth is that they are learning that each of them married not an angel, as they supposed, but a human being of the opposite sex. That's all.
Aud they will ho far happier with each other than either could be with an angel. That would be a mesalliance, iudeed. There never was man who was fit to marry an angel, or could live happily with one on this earth.
