He put| it to a vote. ‘Those in favor of ‘to-| | mah-to, raise their hands,” com-| manded Henry. Not a hand was| raised. “Those in favor of ‘to-| may-to?” Every hand went up. Henry came back to Washington and told Mrs, Wallace that he had | been vindicated, that he didn't have| to follow the vogue of Capital hos-‘ tesses any more. But Mrs. Wal-| lace took the side of the opposmon.\ declaring that in Mexico, where the tomato came from, the word must| have been pronounced “to-mah-to.” Result is that when the Wallaces sit down to dinner, Henry starts |off with “to-may-to” juice, and Mrs, Wallace has “to-mah-to” juice, and the chances of reconciliation | on this issue are very slight in- | deed.
