If you find yourself radio widow, bridcy, ere yet the honeymoon has ended, despair not too tragically, nor weep too bitterly,
 Every cloud has its silver lining
 God moves in q mysterious way his wonders to perform.
 The devil can quote scripture to suit his purpose.
 Likewise, the radio may serve your ends as well as his. To wit, the picture,
 It may mean that with his flap ping aural appendages glued 10 tho headphones, you can say as loudly as you darn please, "Oh, by the way, love, l bought the dearest hat today at Madame Ks, And so reason able! Only forty dollars, l started charge account. You won't get the bill for almost a whole month";
 And therein be nary comeback because he never heard you!
 There's this Balm in Gilead, too.
 With his manly chest heavnS with emotion from the tragic radio bedtime story about little Johnny Skunk who got caught in the hrior patch and had 10 have his leg ann putatcd hell forget to tell you that the grocery bill was too high last month, and ask you what in the world you're paying for cheese, any way!
 They talk styles over the radio. remember, hridey, dear. | Can you imagine any young hus- ! band hearing 10 q ravishng descrip- 1 ton of what the well-dressed woman will wear this year, refusing 10 buy his wife this little nothing or that little something when The Radio Voice has told him that 1t simply MUST be done
 Radios keep 'em home nights, too.
 Of course perhaps that's not the Balm In Gilead it's meant to be- l know wives who serve as chair women of the Committee on Ways and Means to Keep Husbands Out of the Home Nights, Especlally Nights When l Want to have Club
 But then. being still in the bride stage, you, perhaps, can stand him around better than wives of longer standing,
