He was a hard-working, studious young m4n, and he married a butterfly type of girl, very society minded. And all too frequently when he got home at night, tired and ready for a restful evening before his fireside, she had other, and very different plans. He, of course, grinned and bore it.
One night he came in from the office, particularly weary after a very trying day, and as soon as he got his nose inside the door his wife said: "Flurry, dear, and get your evening clothes on. 'We're taking some folks to dinner and the theatre, and then we're going to do some dancing."

So he got into his dress suit and pumps, got out the car, loaded his wife in it, and started off. Within two minutes after they left the house a terrific storm started; and two minutes later they felt the sickening bump-bump of a flat tire. He stopped, got out in the storm with dl his good clothes on, and started to investigate. His sweet wife put her face to the window, and in honeyed tones inquired:
"Dear, can I get out and help you?"
He said, "No, honey, you mustn't do that. It's raining hard, sweetheart, and it's muddy and slippery, and you might fall and break your BLANKETY BLANK NECK."
