_THE MARRIED COUPLE THAT WENT TO HOUSEKEEPING AND BEGAN TO FIND OUT
THINGS_
Once there was a Happy Pair, each of whom got stuck on the Photograph
of the other and thereupon a Marriage was arranged by Mail.
Shortly after taking the Life Risk, they started in to get acquainted.
Up to the time that they moved into the Arcadian Flats and began to
take Orders from the Janitor, he never had seen little Sunshine except
in her Evening Frock.
He had a sort of sneaking Suspicion that she arose every Morning
already attired in a Paris Gown and all the Diamonds.
And she supposed that he went to the Office every Day in his regular
John Drew effect with the Folding Hat.
After she began to see Hubby around the Flat in his Other Clothes the
Horrible Truth dawned upon her that he was not such a Hot Swell as he
had looked to be in the Bunko Photograph.
Sometimes, on Rainy Sundays, he would cut out the Morning Service and
decide not to Shave, and then when she got a good long Look at him,
she would begin to doubt her own Judgment.
And so far as that is concerned, there were Mornings, after they had
been out Late to a Welsh Rabbit Party, when she was a little Lumpy, if
any one should ask.
Love's Young Dream was handed several goshawful Whacks about the Time
that they started in to get a Line on each other.
