Mrs. Whembleton decided to have her portrait painted.

She told
the artist, "Paint me with diamond earrings, a diamond necklace,
emerald bracelets and a ruby pendant."

"But, Mam, you are not wearing any of those things."

"True enough," said Mrs. Whembleton. "If I should predecease my
dear husband I know he will remarry right away, and I want his new
wife to go stark raving mad looking for the jewelry."
