Evening star., 1946-11-06

much b part OF nehfs mcAe"ofe
our home as the roof over 1t.
This letter from my wife which
came this morning will give you a
general idea Of what I mean. I'll
quote 1t as she wrote it with a few
Iparenthetical asides from me for the
sake of clarity.
Henry dear: 1t was so wonder
full to talk to you on the phone last
night. When you asked me how
everything was going and said
just fine, I really meant 1t. Every
thing is just fine except a few little
things which I couldn't see any
point in discussing over collect long
distance call. ~
Goes to the Dogs
Mona (our setter dog) has been
terribly sick and Dad and I have
Just about lived out at DR.. Brooke
with her. She's 4 lot better this
morning, SO don't worry about her
While was gone Cindy and Flossie
raised Cain around here. You
know, Cindy wasn't destructive or
bad, even when she was puppy but
Flossie is so awful and SO full OF
the devil that she's taught Cindy to
help her with all the nefarious plans
she devises. When came home
found that they had chewed UP all
your sweaters which I had just
washed and laid out to dry. They
chewed up all my white shoes, too,
which were also out on the porch
drying. Cindy had white shoe polish
and dark green Kashmir on her
face, 80 nobody can tell ME that
you can't teach an old dog new
tricks.
'Fossie has the energy Of Mrs.
Roosevelt but she never does any
thing constructive or nice. She Just
r,lshes around from morning till
night, being awful. Dogs certainly
can be as different from each other
as people. Mona is SO good and sweet.
She would be q most kind and gra-
cious lady were she a person. Cindy
would be a genial, gossipy old wom-
an, who would play bridge every
afternoon and Flossie would be q gun
moll-a good, efdcient gun moll. too.
1T rained yesterday and the plas-
ter in the dining room, which really
looked lovely since it has been
painted, fell Of in great big hunks.
Something about the overdrive
In the car jammed and it's In the
garage now, but they called this
morning and said they didn't know
when they could ever fix 1t. II needs
q completely new something er
other.
Just Little Fire.
Mr.. Myer, who's painting the
htchen-we had . little fire In there
the other day-has q bicycle with q
motor on 1t and he says can use 1t
during the hours he's working here
I can hardly wait to try 1t. He says
it'll 60 As miles Gr hour. I had bet
ter get some goggles and q linen
duster.
"I1l be so glad when you get home
next week. Honey. There are several
things I want to discuss With you
The chimney has to be cleaned and
there just isn't such Q thing as a
chimney sweep in this town. You'll
either have to 60 to England and
get one or maybe We could lower you
gently from the roof with some good
strong rope.
James (our man of all work. has
developed sinus trouble and he has
to 60 to the doctor all the time to
get his head blown out, or in. or
something, but they do 1t for free
under the CT thing which still leaves
him enough money to bet on the
numbers game.
Are you having an exciting time
In New York? Life is dull without
you here. Hurry home, Dear. Yours
in the bonds of Holy Matrimony-
JEAN"
You see the basis for my home
sickness, don't you2 I always know
I'm missing something when I'm
away.
