The finest of Raphael's canvases would make a poor overcoat.

The Discontented Woman.


A woman who was dissatisfied with her husband loudly petitioned Jove to
send her another. The god listened favorably to her petition and sent her
a demigod.

In less than a week the woman was bewailing her lot again, saying she never
cared for mixed goods anyhow, and that while the god-half of her present
husband might be all right, the man-half snored and chewed tobacco. Jove,
wearied by her ill-humored persistency, took back the demi-god and sent her
a man out of the Yellow Book for husband, instead.

Up to the present writing the lady in question hasn't discovered where she
is at.


IMMORAL:

Hysterics and Art are only relations by marriage.
