WASHINGTON.-'1 Qee,' said Mrs. George
spelvin, American. where the Cab says
IF you please Mr.. Spelvin said, will
respectfully have to ask you to kindly refrain
from disrespectful remarks about a fellow
member of the fair sex who, even if you
sometimes do not happen to agree on certain
matters why, after all 1 think it is incumbent
on you to refrain from"
Well" Mrs Spelvn said, it must be in
your mind, my handsome knight because
only said see where the Cab says and
you right away try to censure my freedom
of speech under the sacred heritage of the
Constitution when for all you know I might
be talking about"
You know very well who you were talking
about, my pin-up," Mr.. Spelvin said, and
you seem to forget that we are ife-partners
so if you shoot off your trap in an unbecom:
ing manner and it gets around that you are
resorting to unwise comments on matters that
YOU don't know anything about, why then it
will be very embarrassing to me and it is
incumbent on me, as your husband, to exer-
else my authority as head OF our little family
to slap you down in no uncertain terms.
And if that is the case my master, Mrs.
Spelvin said DO you think all husbands
should do likewise if their wife happens to
sound off her bazoo all the time and give
the people rest because you have got TO
admit that when I run off at the face 1t is
only you and our loved ones and few neigh
bors who hear it and 1 don't go running
around with lot of gunny communist buns
and get on the radio and stick my cupid S
bow mouth up against that thing and Whoop
and boiler how to raise other peoples KIDS
or everybody ought to break up housekeep-
ing and the husband goes off to East st.
Louis or some place where the blondes nave
got plenty of speed and curves and work IN
a foundry and the old lady has got to hire
out to a laundry in Camden so we check the
little kiddies at some parking place where
some scrawny flat-heel child PHYSIOLOGY ex-
pert that nobody ever even made a pass at
much less had kid, why she tells them
the Bible is a pack of lies"
THAT is a deliberate exaggeration and dis
tortion of the true facts without scintilla OF
TRUTH, said Mr.. Spelvin, because you know
she never said any such of a thing
who didn't?'' said Mrs. S.
''You know who didn't he said.
II know hell of lot who didn't" his
ever-loving treasure said, "but just wonder
how you happen TO pick out any certain one.
You don't mean the Queen OF England, do
your
mo I don't mean the Queen OF England"
Mrs. Churchill"
mo, not Mrs. Churchill.
You are getting pretty damn silly, if that
is what YOU mean" Mr.. Spelvln said. You
arc making a fool OF yourself"
..But only in the privacy of our own little
love bower" she said. II don't go out and
h1.h al .over the country and mess in other
neonle's business and butt in on your job at
the office. don't do that do 1? Maybe you
would like that Maybe I better go, down to
vour office tomorrow and give orders around
to all the help, and write articles about the
firm and how we live at hone.''
