ClO—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, January 12,1980 Sociologists have long held to the theory that wire coathangers, left alone in a dark closet, will reproduce at an astonishing rate. No one who ever spent time trying to untangle a family cluster of these tangled mobs is likely to dispute.

Nevertheless, I still persist in trying to buck the trend by fussing at our charter members of the Lost Mitten and Glove Association Sometimes, the perpetrators of mitten divorces are chased back out to the back yard or the haymow to reunite the separated pair, a policy of pure torture to those who ascribe to the liberal political philosophy of “let Mom hunt it. ” And, to encourage the stability of maintaining pairs of happily married handcovenngs, a box in the basement outdoor clothing storage area is kept in service at all times.
