Surprising A Husband.
A good story is told by a German paper. The servant of the newly-married wife of a Berlin banker had remarked that regularly every after' noon, in the absence of her master, a shabby individual, ugly, ill-bred, and suspicious-look-ing, called at the house and remained closeted with her mistress for an hour. Suspecting some intrigue, she one day listened at the keyhole, and was horrified to hear a voice say " Kiss me," and another apparently replying to the tender invitation by playfully exclaiming, " Oh, you Don Juan ! You good-for-nothing ! " The next time that shabby man called the servant managed to let the husband know. A violent scene was the consequence. The presence of the suspicious visitor was, however, soon satisfactorily explained. He was a bird fancier who had been requested by the gushing bride to teach a few amorous phrases to a pet parrot, with which she intended to surprise her husband on his birthday.
