Yesterday a man came into the Boom
erang office with the wild. hunted look
of married man whose wife has two
majority in the House and full control
of the Senate.

the oriental hat rack. he asked if he
might have word with the high-art
editor.
A pensive blonde, with his feet in the
waste paper basket. was pointed out TO
him, and the domestic minority poured
out his woes:
Il s'pose you manage the fresco busi-
ness for this periodical, and YOU want
to bring art. and frill. and home deco
rations up TO high standard. Well,
nv wife is some on home decorations

behind. want to try and discourage
her from plastering the shanty with
Michael Angelo paintings that come of
from peach cans and tobacco pals. 1t
clashes little TO have plaster cast of
Shakespeare in one corner of the room,
and picture peeled off baked bean
can in the other. 1t brings poetry and
grub too close together. NV idea is

made desolate with howling wilder
ness of stump-tail storks standing OF,
