SHE COULD GET IT BACK AGAIN.
“1 haven’t seen your pet dog for several days,” said a Fairfield husband to his wife.
“ No,” she replied; “ the fact is, I have given him away.” “ Why, you needn’t have done that; I had no particular objection to him.” “ I knew that; but I thought it was not right for me to have a pet dog about the house when I have such a kind husband to lavish my affections upon.” The husband sank into a chair with a deep sigh. “ How much do you want, Mary ?” he asked, as he drew bis purse from his pocket; “it can’t be a sealskin jacket.” “ No,” she said, “it is not a sealskin jacket; but I would really like a new silk dress for the winter.” “Now,” he said, as he handed her the money, “ what proof of your affection will you give me when you want another dress, since you have given away your dog ?” “ Oh,” she sweetly replied, “ I’ve given the dog to my sister, and can get him back again.”
