DRAWING THE LINE
‘ Here, my dear,’ said the husband, producing his purse, ‘ here is ten pounds I won playing cards last night. You may have it to buy that dress you wanted.’ Reluctantly the conscientious wife took the money, then said, with an expression of rigid rectitude: ‘ I simply shudder at the thought of using money gained in such a way. Henry, promise me Chat after you have won enough for me to buy the hat to go with the dress you will never again touch those awful cards. I don’t want my husband to become a gambler.’
