HELPLESS MALES

Men scarcely ever visit the vii
lage shops. As a pretty French
girl once told me:
"A man cannot tell good let
tuce from a bad one. nor fresh
radishes from old ones. II is
strange, for after all. when they
are not in the army, men grow
these vegetables. But once they
are lying on counter in a shop.
men do not seem TO know them
any more. 1t is good thing
there are women about"
The girl struck me as being very
wise. for she had put her very fin
ger on the trouble of France.
Men have made France, but
they were unable to forestal
