they have n
worn the PICKERING
same shirt, because the laundry
hasn't come back.
Women keep saying:
Were down 10 our last clean
sheet"
Men talk about how much
they would like 10 get into uni
form. If they only had fortune
big enough 10 support the fam
il. or If they could pass the
eye examinations
They are sincere about II,
generally. Very few are fax
ers who say they want 10 get
in but really don't.
Women talk about what they
will do if their husbands DO go
into the army. They talk a
great deal about IT,
This is because they believe
that, if they talk enough about
II. they will be accustomed 10
the situation when il really
happens.
Men keep talking about
where in the dickens can we
get lunch ?" but don't have the
Vaguest idea of when the cur
rent series of ration stamps
expires. or how many points
you need for a can Of tomato
juice.
Women know so much about
ration points that il no longer
is conversational fodder. They
talk about how hard IL is TO
find anyone 10 look after the
children. and why are there so
few places downtown where
unescorted women can drop in
for a cocktail or tea,
Men talk about women.
Women talk about women.
Women like TO talk about
new hats and new shoes.
Men like old hats and old
shoes but don't like 10 talk
about them. Sometimes,
smart man will rebel. though,
when his wife tries 10 throw
away his old bathrobe.
Women like TO talk on the
telephone.
Men don't
Women talk too much about
trivial household affairs.
Men talk too much about
their hobbies.
Women talk about how
naughty the children have been
all day.
Men. when asked how their
families are, usually reply, "Oh,
fine. fine" even if the baby is
on the verge of pneumonia.
Women describe, in great de-
tail. exactly what kind of cur
tains they want in the dining
room and the men say politely:
"Yes, that would be fine
what color did you say. again ?"
Then, the women blow up and
storm:
'"You didn't listen 10 a word
I said"
This never does any good,
though.
Women like love talk. but
men don't, except when court
ing.
One Of the current magazines
has a cartoon Of husband
with his nose buried in the
newspaper while his wife looks
at big sign he has written
Eyes, dear. Of course love
you. No. I am not sorry
I married you. Yes, i stu
think your figure IL as lovely
as IL was the day we were mar
RED"
Kitty looked al II and smiled.
I looked al II and laughed
Then. Kitty, with what she
would call a "hurt-feelingish"
look on her face. jsbbed me
with her elbow and said
'T'm mad At you. You
laughed too hard"
Two women will talk 20 each
other for hours AT a time il
one of them is feeling sorry
for herself. Afterward. they
can't remember q thing they
said.
Two men will do the same
thing If one Of the men is sore
az somebody and wants 20 blow
off steam. They can't remem-
Der any of IN afterward, either.
Women like 10 talk about
other people, such as strangers
with bad colds or ill-bred chill
dren on street cars.
Men are afraid that the sub
iects will overhear, SO this fe-
male habit drives them crazy
Among themselves, women
love 10 talk themselves into a
case OF the giggles, almost in
variably over nothing at all.
Men don't. This may he why
women usually live longer than
men do.
