Show POOR JOHN NEATLY CAUGHT Cleverly Contrived Trap That Led to the Downfall of One Forgetful Forget-ful Husband. He had returned home in the evening eve-ning tired and ready for a restful hour or two. "John, my love," said his little wife sweetly, "did you post that letter I gave jou this morning?" "Yes, my pet," said John, hiding his conscience-stricken face behind the newspaper. "Well, what i3 your answer?" still more swetly. "Wh-what is what?" gasped John. "What is your answer, dear?" said his little wife, clearly. "That letter was addressed to you." "Addressed to me?" exclaimed John. "I didn't notice it." And then, like a foolish man, he fell into the trap and produced -the letter from his pocket to see. The envelope was not addressed to him; but a long and severe lecture was shortly after. |
