Evening star., 1941-07-30

s&ss@saa - s@ oDaniel. in a
Henry McL.mOr.. new worlds
record burst of free-stvie hospitality,
invited the entire State Of Texas 10
attend. And the 1910 census gF'es
Texas a population of nearly 6 2
millions.
The party figures 10 be an affair
that will be remembered long after
the Alamo has been forgotten.
What sight the ballroom OF the
Governors mansion will make when
every one has arrived!
In one corner of the room will be
the city CT Dallas, glarlng away at
Fort Worth on the other side Of tne
/ room. The chandeliers will swing
and sway as Ell Paso. Austin and
Galveston combined population
246 ,000) head for the punch bowl
/ at the same time. Houston ard
Beaumont will flip coin to sec who
! kisses the bride when she walks in
to the music of The Eyes of Texas
Are Upon You"
There will be plenty Of action IN
the receiving line, too what with tire
butler announcing such arrivals es
twenty-five thousand shepherd
ers" and Fifty thousand eow-
punchers." And wouldn't YOU like
to see the look on the maids face
when all of the Panhandle HANDS
her hats 10 hang up?
Some one is likely TO get hurt IN
the rice and old shoe shower. 1T
US hope that the bride and groom
will be able to escape running this
gantlet and slip away By q Size
door, unnoticed save by the popu-
lation of Corpus Christi, Big Springs,
SWeetwater and Tyler
BY inviting more than $4,000
people to his house, Gov. ODaRiel
stamped himself as a man who,
sooner or later, is certain to earn
himself niche in the hall Of fame.
Ard no mean, poor little niche,
either, but a choice one, with run
ming water, servidor service and air
conditioning.
Gov. ODaniel. who recently was
elected to the Senate, obviously is a
man Of exceptional strength of
character, a natural-born leader
who evidently fears nothing.
The average married man counts
to 10 and thinks twice before ask
ing even two or three unexpected
guests home for a drink and a bite
70 eat. There are few more danger
Gus things that man is ever called
upon to face than wife who has
Just learned that she must make the
meal she had planned for two take
| care of four or five instead.
There is something of a tigress
defending her cubs in wife at this
time.
Her eyes light up with strange
fires, and she gives every appear
ance of being willing to dle in the
protection of her emergency shelf.
All of sudden the canned baked
beans, the canned tongue. the extra
ham in the icebox. and all OF the
other edlbles which she bought for
just such an emergency become
extremely dear to her.
The average husband does his
best to avoid such a crisis in his
home life.
But not ODaniel
*x<
On the spur Of the moment, with
out one word of warning to his wife,
he issued an invita- ton to the largest
State in the Union to come to his
party and make itself at home.
If heJnad gone straight from the
radio station to the Brazos River
and tried to drown himself. his ges-
ture would still have been maenif-
icent one. But this superman,
knowing that Mrs ODaniel must
have heard his radio invitation,
marched straight home and con-
fronted her.
The Senate can Use man who
has enough poise and courage to say
to his wife. Honey. I've asked few
extra folks in for Molly's wedding"
when he knows that she knows that
extra folks" means over six million
people
The more I think about ODaniels
bravery, the more l feel that the
husbands of this country should
chip in and do something specially
nice for him. He has done all US
married men a tremendous favor.
Our wives will feel pretty small in
objecting to extra guests now that
she knows there is such a thing as
q husband who brings nome SIX
million.
think I'll try out my wife in q
small way by asking Rhode Island in
for dinner tomorrow night
