fa PAGE EIGHT From Pillar To Post (Continued from Page 1.) dollars he gave you last week, and if he has no Sport-Page to distract his attention, you'd better have a good comeback prepared. Most family arguments start at the breakfast-table. If they don’t start there, the chances are pretty heavy that they won't start at all, the grievance having been side- tracked by the time dinner rolls around. Strict attention to paper- reading is a great preservation of peace. And then there is another angle. If a man is reading the paper, he can hardly object if his wife catches up on the latest mystery story in the Saturday Evening Post. If he insisted upon discussing world politics at the breakfast table instead of being con- tent to read about them, the lady in the case would have no water- tight alibi for finishing the latest installment of “Whodunit.” She would be obliged to wait until her husband had left for the office before pouring herself another cup of cof- fee and settling down comfortably to the solution of the mystery. If she is a quick reader, she can usually finish the story in the Sat- urday Evening Post and make out her marketing list before being re- quested to have a look at Blondie. And in respect to the Blondie strip, a right-minded and well-trained wife will take the section devoted to the comics, read the cartoon pointed out to her by her husband, and hand back the paper without turning down any lanes or bypaths. She will strictly refrain from look- ing over the White Sales and the Bargain-Basement come-hithers. It takes years of self-negation to at- tain this poise, but it is worth the struggle. Unless the husband is one of these thrifty souls who carries the paper along with him to the office, the wife can always catch up on the bargains after he has left NEED GLASSES ? Get them fitted properly. them quickly, see Dr. Abe Finkelstein OPTOMETRIST Main Street, Luzerne Get | the house, or she can even give them a snappy once-over while he is struggling into his overcoat and looking for his other pair of glasses. It would probably cramp a car- toonist’s style considerably if he did not have some sure-fire theme such as the Mother-in-law or the Morn- ing Paper to fall back upon. One gag is just about as good as the other. Most Mothers-in-law are pret- ty good eggs—I speak with author- ity, having recently been elevated to that status myself—and most of us would not exchange a paper- reading husband for a garrulous creature who expected flights of fancy and an unreasonable amount of intelligence from us at an un- seasonable hour of the morning. What we mainly need is bigger and better newspapers, papers that would consume two hours in the reading instead of an hour and fif- teen minutes.
