HUSBANDS

Husbands are the natural pro-duct of most civilized countries.They are plentiful in most of theUnited States of America, beingscarcest in Utah and Massachusettswhere each lady owns but a frac-tion of a hushand, or none at all.Those..owning no more than amorbid interest in a husband arecalled old maids.

Although the best husbands inthis country are acknowledged byexperts to be indigenous to thesoil, those commandinglthe high-est market-prices are the importedvarieties, because of theirexpen-sive labels. The Crown brandbrings the largest figure.

The husband is a wary and elu-sive animal, fleeing for safety atthe first noise like a skirt to his lairin clubs, offices, and o er remotecaves of his habitat; b Fhe may becajoled forth by an a arance ofindifference on the part of the trap-per, as his curiosity can always bearoused by the strange creatuzewhp could remain immune to hischarms; after which he may beeasily caught anywhere in broaddaylight (though a white night-light or moon-calcium is prefer-ablel in a trap composed of frou-frou, talcum, golden locks, andflattery.

There is a tradition to the effectthat the earliest husband-cat':nerwas a clumsy contrivance made offine hand-sewing attached to aspinning-wheel decorated withhomemade preserves put up in asirup of ,sweet disposition andsealed in common-sense jars.

Once secured with a matrimonialhalter tied in a diamond hitch, thehusband usually becomes quitetame andd will eat from the handand sign checks at will. Thereare more than fifty-seven varietiesof husbands at large and in cap-tivity, but they are broadly classedas good and bad,' by their respec-tive owners or keepers calledwives. Since the wife is so con-stituted that she can believe any-thing she sets her mind to, she caneasily persuade herself that a badhusband is a good one and viseverSa--a merciful provision ofProvidence for marital happiness.

The American husband is calledby his transatlantic compeers abeast of burden; to which he mayveryju stly etort that the trans-atatic husband is a beast of preyor .tearwise, but always a beast,ai4 tt=it's a White Man's Bur-d a y. -al3l of which proves
