'nagging' the same as 1ncompatabdl1-
ty. There's sure to be that long word
in every household unless the male is
a clam. A "nagger' is not satisfied
with her private abilities, but she is
always a "butter-in." If her husband
even tries to settle a business matter
over the phone, she takes a hand IN
the deal. If her husband dares to tell
some business associate what he will
do on some trifling little deal and
she is present, she never hesitates to
make her little speech. For a long time
this scribe has felt impelled to relieve
himself in this column. He dares not
do it anywhere else.

their parents and visitors attempt even
