s Queen Elizabeth, the English
~ one who was so we'll known
A for having never married.
4 once said. There comes time
IN every woman'S life when
some man asks her for ten dollars" ;"
And how true that is come home to
mo not long ago when George, that's
my husband, made me fork back ten
whole Semolians, ten perfectly good
hargain-binderS out Of his salary. so
no could pay for a correspondence
course in badness.
Jennie. he says to me. am wor
ried over my hair. And I says yes,
so am l, I been so for years. The
way YOU comb it is enough to worry
anybody that has to look at it. And
he says, say. i am not talking about
that, you know l ain't goner change
that. I'm not going in for no col
Iegiate hair cuts, he says, in fact
what I am worrying over Is having
any to cut at all. he says. Just take
a look at my hair, he says, it's like
our savingS-getting fewer all the
time.
So Geo. ducked his head where I
could see it even palmer then I al
ready had many times. if possible,
and being not alone a lady but
well trained wife as we'll why ! nat
Georges head would OF made a lovely
place for Junior 10 draw Il half globe
map OF the world on. but all | says
is why, dear, | don't see what you
are worrying about. it don't appear
10 me that your hair is getting any
thinner, YOU Sot quite lot of hair,
where YOU have it, and. besides. l
do like your high forehead. l always
think 1t gives a man such a noble
look
But Geo. wasn't satisfied lie got
uD and twisted himself sos to try
and look for the lot of hair 1 had
mentioned in the mirror. Wei. he
says. the barber says I'm losing it
something terrible, he says SO every
time l get my hair cut. And I says
sure you lose a lot every time YOU
set your hair cut, if he complains any
more, make him give back what he
cut off. I'll bet if he had done so all
these Yrs. we could have coupla
good hair mattresses out of it. And
Geo. says don't kid about it. Jennie,
it's a serious matter. | got to do
something about il.
Well, to hear Geo. talk. a person
would of thought tnis was the very
first time he had mentioned the sub
iect, but Hot Bozo, l could remem-
ber different. For more annums then
I care to remember, he had been pull
ing the same line about every three
months. l mean about every three
months he gets desperate about it,
and decides he will absolutely hat to
do somethir Z about it, and for short
spell he does.
For a sample, there was the time.
in the simple early stages, when
we was first married. when he would
f,gtN. haf
on his head a Coupla nights and then
smear his head on the pillow slips,
and any lady which she has had to
wash the pillow slips will need no fur
ther comments. But in the end there
was always vaseline enough left for
me to keep his dress shoes oiled and
creased, SOS they wouldn't have no
body-squeaks when he was on the
road
But while Geo. didn't ever use up
one entire bottle, he used a terrible
lot OF conversation to the general
effect of how this was the treatment,
1t was just I. question OF keeping it
up regular. he was conner give it a
couple of months trial. And he was
pretty regular, he done 1t two con-
Secutive nights with pretty near every
new bottle. Then he would decide
Vaseline was useless, and take to eX-
amining his head in the mirror instead
until l was pretty near ready to have
It examined by a alienist.
In fact. near as I can see, the only
treatment for badness that any man
keeps up regular Is that watchful
waiting stuff. and If they would take
Il the time and trouble putting on a
cure, and do it 40 as regular as they
will look at their head in the mirror !
and say, by jobe, | am getting awful |
