Seems to Have Faded Out of the Picture What has become of the old- fashioned fellow who always had a tooth brush sticking out of his vest pocket? A One-Month Year That'd Beat A Thirteen—Mouth One We hate these months With days so drear; We'd like to have June last all year. Huh! “I don't stand for petting,” said the brainy girl. “Me, ncither, it would be too tiresome,” murmured the Dumb Dora. Stranger Things Have Happened “Paper Made From Straw Hats” —Headline in Boston Globe. ¢ Can't tell, in this age of wond- ers and elimination of waste they yet may find a way of making au- tomobiles out of old razor blades.

Can’t Keep Warm in Nothing A modern lass is Rose, And in her knees has dimples— But in some other spots We'll bet she has goose pimples.

Hobson’s Choice She: “Why have you never mar- ried?” He: “I never could earn enough for two and never could find a girl who had enough for two who would have me.” Passing Observation Next to money, people hate most to be asked too often to lend their ears. That’s One Question a Wife Usual- ly Settleg Herself A young mother writes to one of | the heart throb columns to ask this— “When a father and mother are taking the baby out in its carriage, which should push the carriage?” It listens to us like the plaint of one who wishes they had gone in for birth control. On the other hand, it also surprises us to find a woman who doesn't simply say to her liege lord, “Do this,” and he doeth it. More or Less True Nothing seems more certain than that whoever invented the pocket mirror and compact wasn't inter- ested in getting girls who work in offices to devote more time to bus- iness. It is no trick for girls to slip on and off theirs, and time yet may come when they will at least turn out zipper clothes for men and thus simplify their dressing, too. About the only possible explana- tion of why some people marry is that they just hate to think of divorce lawyers having to starve to death. About the only thing considered impossible these days is to have a nig time on a little money.
