gratefully accepted by the patients

and see for yourself and when you
leave you will be convinced that

its broadest terms in the care of
the elderly men and women who
are enjoying good care. You will
join with many others in thanking
the Junior League for this service
and seeking ways to assist their eff
forts.

THIS EXPERIENCE WITH
DISHPAN AND DIAPERS has
given the boys a new understand
ing of their wives job. The "Any-
Dope -Run-A-House" School is
rapidly dwindling. Also vanishing
is that cliche like mother did it,.
The men don't compare wives with
mothers any more. "He tried that
just once" said one wife grimly.
THEY DON'T HOLD UP MA
MA as an example any more but
if this trend toward approving men
continues they may make other
comparisons. Some puzzled bride
twenty years hence is apt to hear
her spouse say, Darling, that's a
good pie but it's not like the ones
Dad used to make"
