Show A Couple of Wives for Somebody. Some-body. A German paper contains an advertisement, of which the lbllowing is a literal translation: ' I am Mdlle Pepi, and my sister is called Netti. Kindly nature has endowed en-dowed us with the charms of womanhood. woman-hood. We are both engaged at the Theatre National. I am in the chorus; Netti dances in the bal et. We are both of U-. virtuous girls, especially Netti. She, for instance, believes that when a young girl kisses a man with a moustache, moustaches are sure to grow on her lips too; but you know that does not occur, especially if the young man has no moustache. If any one believes we are girls likely to be deceived he makes a mistake, and has only to inquire of the woman who acts as box-keeper, Mme. Kovacs. We only de.-ire to be married; firstly, because religion says it is the duty of woman; and secondly, because f.e time has arrived when we should settle, especially Netti. Finally, any one who wishes one or two wives has only to apply." |
