Just a small holiday, you know-one for a cent or two." "But what is it? What's going on?" "Ia. ha., ha! I thought you'd forgot ten all about it. Talk about sentiment. but I believe that husbands have more than wives. Mrs. Bowser, thirty-five years ago today I asked you to be amy little wifey. It's the anniversary of a most happy event, and I thought to celelrato it in a fitting manner." "But hIow came you to remember the day?" she asked. "Oh. I ran across it in an old letter some time ago and carefully ireserved the date. Trust a loving husband to keep track of such things." "IHow good of you!

"I have thanked heaven every day since and shall till I die. This evening we will go out to dinner, and then it's the theater. We'll just have a Jolly time. Meanwhile I came home to say that I have purchased a trifling me mento of the occasion-somethlng we can look at daily and recall those old days." .You good man!
