THIS IS .THE WOMAN OF, IT.—t
A pian irecently ordered' pair of
tnotisers ,from his • tailor. Otrying
them fan 'they proved to be a couple
of inches to long. It -'being late) on
Saturday night the tailor's shop was
closed, and the main took the trous-
ers to'hbis wife,, and asked her to
cut the,u sitedborn thiem over. The
goad 'lady,' whose dinner perhaps dis-
agreed ,with cher, brusquely refused.
Tho same result eallawed an applica-
tion 'to. 'thee wiife's ..isiister and the
eldest daughter. But before bedtime
the wife, , r'ep,eintiJng, took her hus-
band's trousers and, cutting off three
inches_ foam the legs, hemmed them
nicely, and restored them to the ward-
robe. Half, an hour later the daugh-
ter, full tf compunction for her ,,un-
filial conduct, took the trousers and
cut, Dour inches, hemmed and replaced
them,'' Finally the sister-iei-lave 1,elt
the pangs of conscience and she, too
perforrned an additional surgical op-
eration on the garment. When the man
appeared at breakfast un Sunday'
morning the family thought a High-
lancf chief had arrived.
