We've had quite a few persons
ask us why we haven’t written any-
thing about our daughter's wed-
ding. \
“Why,” we said, “we didn’t
realize that you were so interested
in our family.”
“It’s not your family,” they re-
plied, thereby depressing our ego,
“it’s weddings that we like to hear
about.”
Well, we were glad to know that,
for we always like to write about
something we consider ourselves an
expert on.
This column is for men only, be-
cause we realize that no matter
show much we know about wed-
dings, we can’t tell women anything
as they know all about that sort
of thing before they sprout their
eye teeth. Little girls talk matri-
mony over with their mamas while
nestling on their breast, while their
bottle is being heated, while their
diapers are being changed, while
a finger is being rubbed gently on
their gums seeking the first tooth.
While mama is dressing them in the
morning and undressing them at
night they'll gurgle and coo replies
about their future that man can
never understand. The father and
husband goes through these years
in more of a daze than usual. He
wonders what the baby and mama
are talking about. He will not know
until his first daughter gets mar-
ried and all at once he realizes that
this training for a woman to be-
come a good wife has been going on
since the nurse anounced, “It's a
girl”.
Now, here's some expert advice to
fathers with marriageable daugh-
ters:
The first thing to do is to pur-
chase a gross of pencils and a
ream of paper. Sharpen the pen-
cils and keep sheets of paper
around the house in convenient
places for mama to write down
things for you to do. Don’t worry
if this list reaches gigantic pro-
portions. Ninety per cent of the
orders will be changed the day
of the wedding anyway. We failed
to supply the paper and pencils so
our orders were given to us verb-
ally, and of course we forgot every
one of them.
The next thing to do is to plan
your wardrobe, The women will be
too busy with the bride's and
bridesmaids’ dresses, plus their own,
to wonder if you have a clean
shirt for your daughter’s wedding
day. Don’t make the mistake we
did. We arose the day before the
nuptials and discovered we had
eighteen shirts in our drawer, four-

You Know Me
Al Hise!
teen of them of the sport variety,
and only four dress shirts, which
had frayed collars; so we had to
tie a string around our finger to
be sure to buy a dress shirt. We
tried to get by with a short sleeve
sport shirt, but no soap.
Now, don’t you fathers feel too
badly about walking down the aisle
with your daughter. We know that
you think it silly to start off with
the left foot and bring the right
one up even with it, and then the
right as if you didn’t know where
the other foot was coming from,
but the women like it that way;
so. nothing can be done about it.
You will find that your daughter
is an expert in this sort of thing
even though she never did it be-
fore, and as you stumble down
the altar trying to keep in step
with her no one will be looking at
you anyway. -
Above all, keep cool. Two hours
before the wedding we had to take
a neighbor of ours down to the
Country Club where the reception
for the bride's and bridegroom’s
families was to be held, so she could
decorate the wedding table. We
were delayed there and didn’t ar-
rive home until 11:55, just thirty-
five minutes prior tc the cere-
mony.
We went swimming.
“When I saw you go to the lake
in a bathing suit so late,” said
one of the bridesmaids, “I just
gave up.”
But heck, we and our daughter
were ready and waiting in the car
ten minutes before the rest of the
party put on their hats.
The last important piece of ad-
vice to you fathers is to be sure to
lock your bedroom door the day of
your daughter's wedding so that
when you want to crawl in be-
tween the sheets about 2 a.m., four-
teen hours after the ceremony, you
won't have to remove three dozen
wraps and hats of female relatives
who are still out in the living room
telling mama, “How beautiful the
bride looked.”
