"I don't like to inquire too curiously into your affairs, "said the lady to her husband. "But something's been bothering me for days. "

"So?" said the husband. "Tell me all about it. "

"You got a letter last Friday, "the lady said. "It was perfumed. It was in a girl's handwriting. I saw you oped it: you broke into a sweat. Your face turned white. Your hands trembled... For goodness'sake, who was it from and what did it say?"

"Oh, that, "said the husband. " I decided it was best for both of us not to talk about it at the time. "

"For heaven's sake, " screamed the woman. "Tell me who it was from and what it said. "

"Okay, " said the husband. "It was from your dress shop. It said you owe them 740. 00. "

enjoy!
