AS G. A. 7. Lothario, the be!
"A who invented dicorce-suits-yo

tom pants that causes wives 10 g
divorces-well. anyways, as he one
wrote in his book How To Be Han
py Though Married, Wives o
great men oft remind me how the!
made their husbands So"
And how true it is that greatness
In a husband is largely matter o
the way a wife regards him, com,
home to me strong. directly afte'
the last meeting of our Ladies
THURSDAY Club. when We enter
tanned for Mrs. John Henry Smath
ers, slightly less-well-known wife o.
the very vell-known John Henry
snsthers, President Pro TEN ri
The Associated Buttonhole Manutac,
tuners Of America.
Mr.. Smathers, Of course, Is tbs
largest manufacturer Of buttonholes
in the country. and makes button
holes TO accommodate the largest but
tons there are. / believe 1t was ].
Il. Smathers who laid the cornerstone
for the largest buttonhols in the
world. the one that was 50 big no.
body could find the necessary button,
and which give rise TO the we'll
known saying, Button, button, who's
rot the button?-
II was him, also. who manufacture
I'd the solid gold buttonhole which
was presented 10 the President by
the Associated Grand Natl Congress
Of Buttonhole Mfgrs when they held
their Convention at Wash. D. c. in
1892. The rest Of the bunch held
the Convention, but Mr.. Smathers
held the gold buttonhole and a audi
ence with the Pres. 1t was all in the
papers at the time, especially in the
Louisville. Kansas, Evening Star,
which made quite a feature Of 1t, es-
peciaIly as that is Mr.. Smathers'
home town.
LADIES GET CHUBBY.
80 naturally. when the local chap
ter Of the Natl. Assoc. Of Button
hole Mfgrs. held their annual ban
ouet at the Chamber Of Commerce
Bldg. here in DinglevoOd, why it
followed naturally as May follows
April, that our Ladies Thursday
Club should have Mrs. Smsthers as
our guest Of honour at the same
time as her husband had come on
to be the guest Of honour and chief
principal speaker at the banquet as
per see above.
Hot Bozo! There was quite some
argument in our club over who
should have the meeting to their
house. In fact, IL become quite club
By, and for a while I thought the
ladies would use actual ones on esch
other. But in the end Mrs. Goofnah
got the honour through donating
the ice cream on condition the other
members would make the cakes,
fudge and sandwiches. And we
hsdder give in to her on account she
had the only big enough punch bowl
in town and wouldn't let il 90 out Of
her house on account ii vas her
mothers.
] dunno did she imagine Il was
90 old it would catch cold If she let
IL 70 out or what but anyways she
got away with it, and lot Of murder.
too, on account her husband is in
the Zee cream business and all she
hsdder do was telephone, while the
cake and sandwich ladies would haf
to tvork, If you get what mean.
WELL-UPHOLSTERED GUEST.
But finally It was all settled that
Mrs. Goofnah was to have the re-
oeption, and when the dsy Of It ar.
rove, I put on my new Breath de
Elephant crap-de-Chens dress and my
Rose de Blows cloche, which is French
for bst, and went 10 the meeting and
met Mrs. John Henry Smathers and
had quite a long talk with her.
says, how do you DO, Mrs. Smsthcrs
