He is just old enough to suit the

wives. He has money enough to do,
everything the neighbOrs want to do,
but not enough to make any of them

He is busy enough to be an example
to the lazy husbands and leisurely
enough to make good companion for
them. He can lend any kind of auto
mobile or garden tool; can play chess,
checkers, cribbage, bridge, pnOchle,
poker, golf, tennis and rogue. He can
dance, swim, and ride; he likes to fish
and knows just where to go for bait,
canned or bottled. He can change a
tire and start an unstartable car.
He admire's everybody's children

Men are hard customers. | think
they read more about the cost of foods,
particularly advertising, than women.
They seem to know the different
brands better, at any rate. I've often
substituted brands for a housewife,
only to be refused by her husband
when l tried it again. I'd rather at
tempt to talk woman into buying a
new brand of canned peas, for exam
