  The Woman who tells her Husband all her Petty Troubles [Image unavailable.] “I tell you, it’s a relief to get home after a long, hard day of work and worry at the office.” [Image unavailable.] “Oh, William, I’ve had such a dreadful day to-day! First it was one thing and then another. I just know the grocer overcharged me on that yeast I bought yesterday; and the baby cried nearly an hour this afternoon, and the bread burned, and the dog chewed up one of your slippers, and the roof leaks, and the hall carpet is wearing out.” [Image unavailable.] “And you must punish Willie. I can’t do a thing with him any more. He insists on being a pirate when he grows up, and he knows well enough that we want him to be a doctor. And we really must have a new hall carpet, and you must see about the roof, and be sure to see the grocer about the yeast.” [Image unavailable.]
“Great Scott! I guess I’ll have to go down to the office again to-night.” |
