I ly takes the guise of a steak or wienie
! roast, where, it must be granted, Elus-
| i've Happiness is sometimes cornered
and made to surrender A certain
man, who was one of a party of
/ wienie- roasters last night, came down
| town this morning asking every one
| he met the puzzling question, why
| do married people go to wienie
/ roasts?"
There was an an accent of bitter
ness in his tones as he told his story.
! My wife and L and two other men
and their wives,' he walled, went out
to the park last night, built fire,
burnt up a bench, (exactIy as three
other crowds We're doing), stood
around and scorched our faces while
we tried to cook some meat. None of
us would think of eating one of those
skinny, wiggly, greasy wienies at our
tables at home; not one of us would
touch a mushy marshmallow with
the sugary ooZe scorched on one side
of ii; we would Scorn the tin cups
of coffee half boiled in a pan and
swarming with grounds and we would
loathe pickles that had rolled around
in the leaf mould. Yet we go out into
the park and eat trash like that, and
tell ourselves we are having a good
time. Last night L sat in a dish of
butter; my wife dropped pickle vine
gar and wienie grease on the skirt of
her new fall suit, and all night after
1 got home 1 kept dreaming that
had yard of wienies that 1 had to
eat
Yes, 1 can see why the young bucks
and their girls go to steak roasts. The
poor love-sick youths can afford to
endure a spell of indigestion that such
a meal is going to give them, and
they don't so much mind having their
clothes ruined, for their vision of
Loves Young Dream is to sit by an
outdoor fire made of park benches, |
spoon and watch the new moon. Very
Well, the reward goes with it.
But why DO married people go to
wienie roaStS?''
