Show ARRIVED AT A GREAT TRUTH. Conclusion of Absent-Minded Man That Wa Very Natural. Daniel Drew was an exceedingly absent-minded man, ns Depew In his charming anecdotes has had occasion to remind us. Horo Is a story, how-over, how-over, that Depew nover got hold of: Drow made a point 'of buying all his own clothing, ngalnst ropcated protests from his wife, who was frequently fre-quently at her wits' ends to know how to manago his somewhat llly-as-sortcd wardrobe. "Daniel," sho said ono day, "you must get somo undordrawcrs." (Sho spoko of courso In tho seclusion of their own npartments.) "Yes, my dear," was tho roply; and that night Daniel camo homo with a bundlo containing undershirts. Under-shirts Under-shirts ho hnd In great abundance, but of tho article his wlfo had suggested his buying tho specimens on hand woro almost past wearing. Tho good lady's patlenco was exhausted. When noxt sho prepared clean ilothes for him sho laid out two undorshlrts and no undordrawcrs. When ho had dressed and gono out she found evidences evi-dences of his having donned both garments. gar-ments. Among that day's Items In his notebook note-book tho following was subsequently dlscovorcd: "Tho underwear of toay Is not what It used to be. Underdrawcrs aro mado much too small In tho legs so much so, In fact, that ono has to silt them up to make them go on. They fit loosely about tho waist and aro not an aid to a man's sitting down. In fact they seem not nt all suited to tho needs of tho human frame." Llppln-cott's Llppln-cott's Magazine. |
