What In meant when a woman Is
referred TO as being buxom?
When two preachers get together.
what do they talk about?
People think they do enough for
you IL they don't help to do you.
After all. tight shoes occasionally
keep women from complaining of
other things.
There never lived a woman who
didn't think she had perfect right
to interrupt her husband when he is
reading his paper.
We have heard OF coreless apples.
wireless telegraphy and spineless cac-
tus. but the real demand is for a
erackless fire cracker.
o.
Did you ever know that when a
man and wife combine a little sense
with their regard TO each other. the
children are better balanced?
.
when a woman sits up for her
husband. she never gets sleepy. no
matter how late he stays. If she has
made up her mind to give him a
