EVER TRIED THIS? 



The younger man had been complaining that he could not get 

 his wife to mend his clothes. 



"I asked her to sew a button on this vest last night, and she 

 hasn't touched it," he said. 



At this the older man assumed the air of a patriarch. 



"Never ask a woman to mend anything," he said. "You haven't 

 been married very long, and I think I can give you some serviceable 

 suggestions. When I want a shirt mended I take it to my wife, 

 flourish it around a little, and say, 'Where's that rag-bag?' 



"'What do you want with the rag-bag?' asks my wife. Her 

 suspicions are roused at once. 



" 'I want to throw this shirt away ; it's worn ont,' I say with a 

 few more flourishes. 



" 'Let me see that shirt,' my wife then says. 'Now, John, hand 

 it to me at once.' 



"Of course, I hand it over, and she examines it. 'WHiy, John 

 Taylor!' she is sure to say, 'I never knew such extravagance! 



This is a perfectly good shirt. All it needs is ' And then she 



mends it." — Popular Magazine.
