~ OF marrying American girls
Il Il for their money, wrote In his
memoirs, The reason why
American ladies is so fond Of we
utlea men from abroad is that they
donS expect too much of us
And how wise that crack was
come to me not so very long ago
when l and George, that's my hus
band, got to talking about his fu-
ture, if any. 1t all come up over that
Joe Bush OF the Hawthorne Club
buying his wife a new car. 1t was
q hot-hOuSe-SpOrtS model n stock
special. and it had glass enclosed
seats, a one-piece Windshield wiper,
semi -dirigible tires, four wheels and
brake and was in every way quite
the berries.
When l seen it, why naturally /
had to at once throw 1t at Geo. In
a nice way of course, on account [
don't ever want to reproach my hus-
band with the fact he amt q Rock
eyfeller which he amt, the nearest
he ever come to being a member of
that family is that his cousins are
the wk. Stonybrokes. But any
ways, naturally when that Mabel
Bush trundIed out the new bus and
rubbed 1t right under my nose, J
couldn't help but speak of ii 10 my
meal udTdIlOf III no uIlIulSldhdbit
terms. In fact the terms was all
cash. no credit.
Say George Jules, | says. believe
YOU me | get no kick at all out of
seeing that woman floating around
in a perambulating greenhouse
fitted up with steam heat, radio. etc
while all We got is our open-faced
sea-going tin ltzzy, I says. Why on
earth don't you buck up and make
little real money SOS we can have
something besides access to the pub
lie library? I'm sick and tired of
never getting ahead of anything but
my bank account.
Well to my surprise George didn't
pull his regular line about well If
you would spend less we could save
more. and etc. Instead. he layed
down the evening paper where he
had been sadly reading the comics,
and he talked to me real earnest
D'you know Jennie, he says, | have
been thinking a whole lot lately
about that very thing, he says. Here

and l am not getting where l ought
TO be.

the right thing in my own best in

ne says. but by jove. he says smash
ing his fist down on the perfectly
innocent armchair, where do / get
on? What's 1t offering me for the
future? I've gone as high as l can
in that concern. Old Klippenhauser
is a perfectly good general mana ger.
he's liable to stay there forever, and
besides, he's got stock in the COM
pany. BY gollies, I've good mind
to break away and set up for my
self in something. Ia like to get a

WELL, Hot Bozo. There was a fire
to Georges voice made me set
up and take notice. L also took the
ash tray out of his way in case it
proved to be d bad attack of eloGuence.
But 1t was so true what he said about
him shaving away for unappreciative
company and me shaving away for
him, that l kinda caught the fire
my ownself, personally. That's true
George, / says, a man hadn't ought to
stay in a rut too long, l says, If he
is ever going to get out and do some
thing for himself. why the time to act
is before 1t is too late. That's exactly
what l think says he. And then the
shock Of agreeing perfectly for once.
kept us silent for minute. But dear,
I says at last, if you break away from
your present Job, what'u you do?
Amt 1t better as the old saying goes
to hold off on the old job until you
get ahold Of the new What was YOU
considering changing to?
George pulled a moment Of silence
while he imprOvised a lifelong CON
