Well, know it's the holidays when the wife takes
shopping First she looks at things Fifth Avenue
Then she rushes to Sixth Avenue and buys them.
My share of the retail expeditions and retalatory
invasions is to try everything on for size.
The wife has one infaible prescription for buying
She says IF it looks good you will look good any

l love those bargain easements They are terrific
Just yesterday heard proprietor say Next year

Yesterday, walked through a bargain basement for
hours and hours. trying to discover where they
kept the coal
heard lady shopper say, "Tve been in this base

surely every problem one
can meet has existed and been
solved by some one among the
billions who have gone before,
or among the 1000, 900. 900 living
now. 1t seems a pity that we do
not have a file of all these prob
lens and their solutions. In that
case psychologists could hand
out tested solution for any
problem. l wish l had such a
file case for settling the hun,
dreds of problems that readers
of this column write me about.

his girl. apparently, so he
thought she was pretty nice but
somebody else might have diff
ferent ideas and just as soon
dream about a good bird dog or
catching a nice trout or finding
money.
They tell us of rich fellow
who went to a Bulgarian dream
reader to find out w a was
troubling him and was advised
to become a metropolitan news
paper publisher.
l can't see any profit there.
After all, in his sleep. his head
aches were only dreams but you
get into the publishing business,
especially these days, and you
are never shed of your troubles,
asleep or awake. What hell of
a dream reader that Bulgarian
psycho-analyst turned out to be.
He should have let the poor guy

Most modern school teachers

They have plenty Of proposals

That's why so many school
teachers are still unmarried in
their thirties.
