The Passing of the
Human Affections

Listen while the bride introduces
her man. This" she says, rs my
husband" In her tone is vast
pride. It is the tone employed bv
the man who caught an S-pound bass
and the man whose walls are adorn-
ed with antlers spreading feet. 1t
means that she has Travelled a long
and weary way and at last has ar
rived. 1t means that after long
travail she has captured knight.
a hero, god, male who is fiawIess
in all ways and can do no wrong
But the months pass. as months
will. and she observes him in his ipa
jamaS without shave and with
rumpled hair. She discovers thatiihis
knees knock. She discovers that he
won't walk under ladder. She dis
covers that he cusses unbeautifany
when a rear tire explodes. She dis
covers that he pouts and that, he
thinks his mother in many ways
superior to her.
Things happen that way. And now
hear her when she introduces her
husband. This" she says, sis Bill"
Her tone is the one she would use
If confessing that the milk was sour.
that the children had the measles,
that all her decent frocks were at
home, that the mole on her left cheek
was Inherited.
Bill doesn't mind especially. I He
has learned the philosophy that
comes to the rescue of all husbands
He knows he never can hope to be a
credit to his wife. but the 'felfers"
still think him alright. He is good
old Bill" who pays when his time
comes
And his wife isn't to blame. Evar--
body is that way. Little Babs new
doll becomes bore in a week. She
wishes to dissect it and remove the
sawdust from its tummy The hat
Mabel adores in the shop window
tortures her soul each time she puts
it on a week later. Mary has il
bobbed and within fortnight weeps
into her pillow for her long tresses
The clipping you tossed into the
waste basket week ago would be
almost invaluable now. The bit OF
furniture that was to brighten your
living room resembles something the
cat dragged in.
Our affections won't stay put. 1t
