Closed for Repairs"
Now and then, you meet a man
who still has that married look.
even when his wife isn't around
to remind him of it.
Every woman likes to believe
that her husband has been a
great lover. in his time. Even
the wife of a judge or a deacon
gets a bit of thrill out of finding
an old pink satin slipper among
his bachelor trophies.
This modern habit of announc-
Ing your engagement to a show
girl, before. you have started
your divorce proceedings. seems
just like sticking the burned
fingers back into the fire. before
the bandages are off.
Wonder why it is that a woman
always envies a bridal couple
when she sees them entering the
church-but sort of feels a lump
of pity rising in her throat as
she watches them coming out.
Wives are not really so prosaic:
they merely seem so, because it's
so hard for man to get thrilled
and excited about a woman, who
is all mixed up in his conscious
ness with his alarm clock, the
aspirin tablets end his insurance
policy.

these days. II you're poor, they
get high-hat and wonder why you
can't make more money: and IL
you're rich, they go radical, and

save the modern woman lots of
time and energy. by inventing u
system by which she could marry
