Now Uncle Wiggilv had been

Then Uncle Wiggilv fastened 4

"Oh, it S wonderful! squeaked
Nibbler. May l have it7"
Uncle Wiggilv gave it to him and
Nibbler played a funny tune about

ONE MASCULINE PREROG4TIVE

Here is Jolly piece of for long-sufferng
husbands. A woman in New York sought divorce
after only six weeks of married life the ground that
her husband complained all the time about her cook
ing The Judge decided that such complaining did not
constitute cruel and inhuman treatment and denied
her the divorce.
Perhaps the Judge felt that the complaints may
have been justified. Many a bride has had to learn
to cook after her marriage and her first efforts have
long furnished the basis for bes and ests Of course
husband isn't supposed to start his kicks and
plants But possibly the judge has the right
idea-the the grumbng about the food begins,
the sooner--maybe-the Improvement in cooking will
come.
Be that as may the decision has other and more
important effecs. 1t indicates that husbands still
tain prerogative. 1t widely believed that all
their rights and privileges had long since been
ruled stolen, outright by militant and successful
femnism.
