PSYCHOLOGY. We've just heard about
dainty little old lady who spends good deal
of her time in the post office sending cards to
friends On each she writes her return address
- but never message in the space allotted
for that purpose When this fact was pointed
out to her one day she replied:
Il hate writing trite messages that no one
reads anyway. so just omit them. When my
cards arrive. my friends say Poor Isobel, she's
growing old and forgetful. We must write her
soon, although, of course, we won't mention
this!" Then, the old lady added with a
twinkle, Il get credit for writing and you'd be
surprised at how much more mail receive
this way
THE CATCH. Small children are noted for
their naive bluntness, and we particularly like
this example: A mother whose son had been
very trying finally shut him in his room Nov
don't let me speak to you again!" she said. As
she went downstairs the wistful query followed
her: How can stop you?"
CURIOSITY. In much the same vein is the
story about the writer who had been inter-
rupted countless times by his boy At last he
jumped up and shouted: IF you come in here
again I'll drown myself!' After moments
silence came this question: Can come and
watch you?"
NO BLESSING. John Golden, renowned
Broadway producer, recently reached the ripe
age of 79, although the casual observer
wouldn't guess him to be over go and his
tongue is as spry as ever. Recently an acquaint-
ance approached Golden, remarked about
how fit he appeared. then launched into dis
sertation on the blessings of old age.
Golden stood this as long as he could, finally
exploded, Don't tell me about old age! I'm
dying of it!' THE EDITORS
