All did was to eat a bowl Of
tuna salad which that certain
party, whose name I am forbid
den ever to mention here, had
whipped up for sandwiches for
a group of what she loosely calls
the girls, with the result that
she was mortified and embar-
raised to death and had to slice
up some baloney or something.
There was quite a hassle over
this and I went to see Jake, my
marriage counsellor, to whom
practically everything has hap
pened at one time or another
because he has that sort Of
marriage.
Jake said all women are like
that. always leaving what the
law calls IAN attractive nui-
sance" around the house, one
of those things that provides
a temptation to disaster, like an
uncovered backyard swimming
pool into which little kids fall
and owners get sued.
Very Earthly Fellow
We were Joined at this juno
ture by a great friend of mine
whose name is Rory O'Toole and
who is not allowed to come to
our house because he always
looks like an unmade bed, smells
like a barrel house and is a very
earthly fellow. Jake said, speak
ing of attractive nuisances.
here's Rory, and served him
without asking what he wanted
because Jake knew well enough.
Jake said, well Rory, you look
like a bum as usual. And Rory
said, yes and you look like a
couple of dudes. We were not
because Jake and I are
careful dressers and proud of 1t.
Rory asked whether we'd like
to know why he always looks
like a bum and before we could
say no we wouldn't, he said it
was because of his wife Gentle
men do not discuss their wives
at bars, said Jake, and Rory
reminded him he was no gentle
man.
Believe it or not, he said, he
once was as neat as Adolph
Menjou in a drawing room
comedy. He never liked it very
he said, but in the early
days of his marriage he went
along with it to please his wife.
Morning Inspection
Every morning when he came
downstairs for a quick break
fast before going to work, his
wife made him stand in the
Of the room while she
walked around him inspecting
his clothes. Then she'd give
her verdict.
Usually, it went like this. he
said; you can't wear that suit,
it's out Of press; that tie has
spots on it and is much too loud
for you; those shoes need brush
ing; isn't that yesterdays shirt?
How often do 1 have to tell you
that plaid socks are not for
you? You missed a patch of
beard on your neck: now get
back upstairs and come down
again so ! can look you over."I
Something Snapped
Rory said this went on for
quite a few years and he had
a reputation at his Job for being
the best dressed man in the place
and even got a promotion as out

Inc DETAILS
Margaret TT am at my
wits end to know what to do
about my younger sister, who
has in the past two years re-
jected two wonderful young men.
"Noreen is 81 and has gone
out a lot with many boys of
different faiths, and for a while
was worried that she would
marry one of them. But along
came these two good-looking
boys of our own faith and begged
her to marry them. She went
with each of them for a while
and then just turned them down.
II think Noreen was influenced
by two of her girl friends, who
were jealous of her.
"Our parents died when
Noreen was very young and l
have taken full care of her since
she was 13. ! sure would like to
see her married to a nice boy
of our faith"
NOreen T.-"My sister out to
think about her own life for a
change instead of worrying about
mine. She is % and l don't see
her going around looking for
men of our faith to marry. Mar
garet worries about me much
too much.
"All Margaret thinks about
when she sees a young man is
whether he belongs to the right
faith. I want to marry in my
faith, but I think other things
count too.
my friends are very nice and
are not jealous Of me. but they
happened to know these two
young men very well. One Of
them drinks too much. the other
is very unsettled type who goes
from job to job.
Margaret doesn't know any
thing about the realities of life.
She Just goes to work and comes
home and worries about me. I
feel that I am young and can
look around some more"
THE COUNCILS VIEW
If Margaret would heed her
younger sisters advice and pay
a little more attention to her own
social life, she would have much
more chance Of influencing the
girl.
Margaret appears weighed
down by her responsibility to her
sister. who talks like a fairly sem
sible girl. 1t is possible that
Noreen was wrongly influenced
by her friends, but she can't help
feeling that they know more
about "the realities of life" than
a sister who does not 60 out her.

 Are you happy here?" Santa asked.
 "Oh, yes, Santa. She plays with me all the while because have leg like hers"
 And how is she getting along?"
 "Just fine. She walks little now with crutches and the doc tor says she may not need them next Christmas.
 A big grin showed above San- ta's white beard. Wonderful. Do you want to stay with herr"
 "Oh, yes. She needs me-"
 Good. I'll be back next year." And Santa threw the little angel a kiss as he slipped from the room.
 Once more, on the following Christmas Eve, Santa entered the bedroom. There was Sally, little bigger now, but the little angel was not to be seen.
 He called, and a muffled aY1- swer came from a closet. Santa peeked inside.
 Here am, Santa, on the floor in the corner."a
 Santa picked up the little an- gel and blew dust from her clothing.
 My, little one, you must have been in there a long time"
 The angel managed smile. Well, Sally has been walking quite a bit, ever since last sum- mer. And she wants. to play with dolls who have good legs now. So She put me here and forgot all about me"
 Well, now." Santa said. II think you've done your work here. Would you like to come with me tonight?"
 But where would go, San ta?" ~
 "Oh, I know of another little lame girl; And she needs a doll
 The angel blinked her eyes in surprise. And can sleep on her pillow, too?p
 "Of course" 1"
 "Welb I'm ready" she said.
 So Santa opened his coat and put the angel inside and flew away with her into the night time sky.
 And the little angel doll was happy again. She knew that waiting for her was little girl who would take her to bed and pat her mended leg.

CANTA CLAUS was late that O Christmas eve in departing from his workshop at the North Pole, What with filling last min ute orders for toys and putting up bags of candy, he had spent a very busy day. Now it was al- most midnight and he was ready at last for his annual Christmas journey. carrying gifts to good boys and girls.
 The back of his sleigh was laden with the huge sack of Christmas presents. His reindeer stamped their feet in the snow at his approach, jingling the merry bells on their harness.
 Steady, steady" Santa chuck led. T know you're anxious to be off" vF.
 He turned to, his elves who gathered in happy knot near the sleigh.
 "Is everything in order?"
 "Yes, Santa" they said. We've been very careful"
 Are you sure there's a train for that" he paused.
 Someone, very little some one, was crying.
 Santa looked at his elves but each one wore broad grin, so it couldn't be one of them.
 There it was again. A little o cry like that of a kitten, only with note of sorrow.
 It could come only from with in that big sack of toys.
 Quick" Santa ordered. "'Bn- pack the bag. Be careful now. Someone is unhappy. Imagine that-unhappy on Christmas Eve. We'll have to fix that right away"
 The elves scurried to the top ! of the sleigh and handed down dolls, trains and other toys to the elves. Santa looked at his watch. It was getting even closer to midnight.
 Here it is," an elf called out. "It's the little angel doll" e..,,.
 Sure enough, the cry grew 3 bit louder in the clear and colo night air. '
 Santa peered into the big sack. There, on top of some cowboy books, was little wood en angel. She was dressed in : white, she had tiny wings and she wasn't as big as your hand. Big tears fell from her blue eyes.
 Now then," Santa said. What's the trouble?"

trol her sobs but couldn't quite succeed.
 'Tt's my leg" she said. Its broken"
 Now, now," Santa said. That's nothing to cry about. Toys don't feel any pain"
 T know" the angel sniffled. But who would want an angel doll with a broken leg? Who would want mel"
 Santa gathered the little an- gel in his mitten.
 Don't you worry about who will want you," he said. "We'll do a fast patching job"
 He hurried into his workshop, took down a pot of glue, and with swift strokes glued the broken leg together. It was a little crooked, but strong.
 There now," he said," we'll be off" He opened his red coat and tucked the little doll inside.
 "YoI stay right there until we get some altitude" he said. You're going to be all right"
 T hope so." she sighed.
 Once the sleigh was among the clouds. Santa bent his head to her and said, Are you com fortable, tiny one?"
 ~Yes, l am"
 +Well, then, listen. Soon we'll be over town where little girl lives who has polio. Her doctor says she'll recover but that she may have to wear braces on her legs and use crutches for a while. I'm sure she'd like an angel doll with leg like yours. didn't make your leg absolutely straight, you know.I wanted you to be lit tie, bit like her, Do you mind?"
