Wifie and hubby are arguing about a party wifie wants to give in celebration of their wedding anniversary. Hubby does not want many at the festivity. Wifie wants a big crowd. She also wants a new dress, hat, coat, etc. This arouses the ire of hubby more, and he tells her to wear the clothes he bought her years ago. As hubby leaves for the office he tells his wife to press her dress, and that will make it look better. She looks at the morning paper and sees an ad reading: “You can’t give a party without our banquet lights. All the nobility of Europe, Asia, Africa and America are using them. Telephone 1850730 Grand today.” Wifie orders them, and when hubby comes home he finds an electrician engaged in the act of stringing lights all over the house. When hubby is told by the electrician that the decoration is going to entail an expense of $200 upon him, he throws the workman and his tools out of the window. Wifie starts to cry, but hubby tells her that he will fix the lights himself. He climbed the ladder and began, while she went back to her pressing in the kitchen. She found the switch turned off and turned it on again. Hubby receives a good shock, and lets an awful howl. His wifie comes running into the room and takes her husband by the arm. The next instant she began to yell, too, finding herself almost electrocuted by the contact. She just managed to knock the telephone off the hook and yell into it for the electrician. The electrician held up hubby for the two hundred before he would turn off the current, and when wifie returned to the kitchen she found that the iron had burned through dress, table and all. But hubby was a changed soul, and over the phone he then and there ordered an outfit which enabled her to appear that night in the guise of a queen. Moving Picture World, October 27, 1917 |
