z HEARD a man talking about his
wife the other day-he began with
- his wife-and he ended with all the
women in the world.
What is the matter win them2-' he
said bitterly. Are they all going
crazy or what2 I am a good husband,
If I do have to say 1t myself to get
any one to believe it, I work like a
bond slave for my wife and family;
devote most Of my waking hours and
some Of my sleeping ones TO thinking
OF new ways TO make more money and
more money and more money for her
and the little fellows.
Ny wife has g new hat whenever
she wants one, and never complain
about the bill-even If it does make
me feel blue to see il sometimes
hat and a feather, $50. why its enough
TO take a mans breath. And she goes
away in the summer and take the
children and has q fine time for three
months, and she has a good home
and-yet is she happy
She is not
she is miserable, perfectly miser-
able. and she makes me miserable,
too. Where have 1 beenT Who gave
me that play bill2 W here did DID near
that song i'm whistling% Who was
the woman who stared at me so IN the
theater the other nightE Why don't 1
love her any more.
And she's not the only one. Ny
brothers wife is the same-wOrse If
anything Ny brother can't spend an
evening out to save his life without
his wife wanting to know exactly
where he went and whom he saw. and
all about it-and she doesn't believe
him when he tells her the truth
Nice lite preachment, wasn't hZ
And the man meant 1t, tOO-every word
OF it You could see that by the look
rfnaN
what is the matter with US. anyhow,
girls?
For one thing, its the mystery OF the
thing that puzzles US.
Did YOU ever think Of that, Mr. Man?
What If the person you loved best IN
the world. the person you lett every
one you ever cared for just to be with,
went away every day to q mysterious
place he called downtown and stayed
all day. and came home speaking Win
the speech OF aliens, looking with the
look of strangers, always thinking
thinking about something that you
didn't know a thing about WouldnL
YOU wonder sometimes what II all vas
that made MIN so absent-Inlnoeo
wouldn't you wish he'd tell you some
thing about it once in while. Just
enough so you could visualize his day
TO some extent and have some sort OF
vague idea what It is that he does
down there in the barred city "here
you must never goE -.
You know every step your VIE
takes all day lOng-she wants to tel
Won an about it-and when you don't
listen she thinks you are tired OF her.
Il wouldn't bore her to hear all about
what you do, but You never help nerr
out a bit You see she's in love with
you VET you're fond OF her but you
are not in love with her That isn't the
Vvav YOU acted when you were IN lONe.
Don't tell mel She may not know
much. but no woman on earth IS there
who can't tell when a man really loves
her and when he stops loving her, too
so YOU might as well stop gong over
that fiction once and for all
You'd go crazy in six months II you
had to live shut in all day with a baby
no one 10 speak to but the grocers boy
and the pOstman; no big ambitions. no
great hopes: just little things. little
little. from morning TO night
Don't scold your wife, don't De cross
with her, get her mind of the little
si1Iv susDicions and little stupid curio-
sites by telling her a few things s1eo
dearly love to know. Tell them 10 ner
without her asking and see how SUI
nrised and delighted she'll be-
TRY it and let's hear from you-Weo
like TO know
