Thanksgiving Day 1921

As l sat quietly yesterday think
ing over the manifold blessings that
l have to be thankful for in this
happy year of 1921, and enumerating
them. glanced up and saw a baoha-
Tor friend of mine peering into my
"sanctum sanctorum," and naturally
l turned to him and asked:
What have you to be thankful for
during this beautiful Thanksgiving
season."
THAT I'm still bachelor" he re-
piled glibly.
And I'm thankful that I'm not in
a hospital; or in Darkest Russia; in
jail; or Austria, or Mattewan; or the
dentists chair; or Poland, and I'm
doubly thankful that I'm not a tur-
koy."
"Wel1--that being the case" my
bachelor friend said quickly, 1--WE
come to ask you what will take the
moths out of my dress suit? i've just
hauled il out, and the seat of the
pants is Gone-bodily--the moths just
walking off with that part of my
trousers, and the coat Is filled with
holes and-well--whatll take the
moths out of my dress sult7"
"A wife," I answered quickly.
why, 1 can buy dozen dress
suits year for what one wife would
cost" he said glumly. Cant you

thought you were sort of a bureau
of information, or something like
that-and that's why came to you
for advice"

persiflage, amy more than / can I'm

of being an old maid. Most people
will do anything once-and why

maid be game and marry once? II

friend.

and assume the responsibilities of
society?" / asked, curiously. why
shouldn't he marry and make some
miserable woman happy by giving
her frocks and bonnets? Why should
he not live in comfort instead of in
confusion or worse? The bachelor is
the left over of society, and, how
ever much he may try to conceal the
fact, he is dubbed as 'unattractive'
and undesirable else some nice
woman would have married him long
