THE LYING HUSBAND.

AMUSING FBNDALTON STORY. All"men. they say, 3re liars. An amusing story from Feudal ton" way fltaraps one man, a married one, as a liar. This gentleman’s wife is in the habit of carrying the family purse and, moreover, keeping tight grip on it, too. He wanted badly to go to the races, but knew it was hopeless to secure the consent of his better half. Then suddenly came one of those flashes of inspiration, which they say are. the experience only of genius. lie had read that Joe Bierman, the tailor, made ten-guinea suits for five guineas, that he gave a guarantee that his fiveguinea suits were just the same, except in price, as the ten-guinea suits of other tailors. Now our Pendalton lricnd was requiring his annual suit, which he usually paid Jen guineas for. He went, therefore, to Joe Bierma-n’s at No. 8, cathedral Square, between Bank of X.Z. and Dalgety’s, and had made to I.is measure for live guineas a suit which simply delighted his wife when she saw it. For material, fit, style, workmanship and finish it was unsurpassed. Was it any wonder, therefore, that she easily believed our friends tale that the clothes cost ten guineas, and the result was for him a nice little day at the races. 1740
