MRS. STEELE POOLE’S HOUSEWARMING.

She: “You don’t know what it is to love.”

“I don’t, eh? Haven’t I been to every play, read every popular novel in the last six months, got into debt hopelessly, had my appendix removed, and all for your sake?”

Mr. Meeker doesn’t object so much to his wife’s entertainments as he does to the way she uses his room for the gentlemen’s things.
