NOT APPRECIATED
“THE PERFECT HUSBAND.” London, April 23. The perfect husband appeared at Sittingbourne (Kent) court in answer to his wife’s application for a separation. He is an artilleryman, named Harold Philpott. He told the bench that he got up in the morning, made the tea, prepared the breakfast, scrubbed the kitchen and bedroom, washed up, and cooked the dinner oil Sundays. “I let my wife go to Sheerness every afternoon, and return at 10 p.m. I have the kettle boiling to make tea when she gets home. When I get my pay on Fridays, I buy the groceries, and then empty my pockets and give my wife every penny,” he said. The bench refused the application.—Sun Special.
