THE SUNDAY Among Us Mortals ADVICE IS CHEAP Copyright. 1921, The man whose advice is sought on a subject he doesn't know beans about. Nevertheless, he gives a great deal of advice on said subject and enjoys i* immensely. Above — The advisory board. This is one of the few and far be- tween cases where ad- vice isn’t the cheapest thing on earth—that 1s for everybody con- cerned. The mem- bers of the advisory board of the “Winken, Blynken and Nod” day nursery have been chosen with due regard to the financial status of their lesser halves, whose duty it is to ante up whenever the advisory board is called upon to advise. Right — Advice badly taken is worse than none at all. Aunt Laura Rouse has just been over to see her sister’s husband, Fred, on the very delicate matter of Aunt Laura’s son's wife, who isn’t always as nice to her mother-in-law as she could be. Aunt Laura hasn’t received the ad- vice she wanted. You see, it was a little dif- ferent from what she expected — and now Aunt Laura and brother Fred aren’t speaking. Right—It all depends on who offers the word of advice. For instance, just see Mabel simply eating up all her best boy has to say about not plastering on the paint quite so thick. Mabel is promising to do better, and all that. Left—“Hey, don’t say that—listen, tell her,” etc., ete. There should be alaw passed against the people who give ad- vice in the ear of a person who is tele- phoning! STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C.—ROTOGRAVURE SECTION—SEPTEMBER 11, 1921. Tixirme Mrs. Sauer is s0 gratefu! for advice. Doesn’t know how she can thank you enough! Which means that Mrs. S. hasn’t the least intention of following it Left—Financial advis- ers are not always confined to the finan- cial district. Birdie is telling Honey just what he ought to say to the boss about a raise in salary. “Just 0 in and demand it rom him. He will re- spect you more!"” Olaf will give any- body at any time ad- vice on anything con- nected with how the world should be run. He writes long articles in the radical weeklies full of advice on how to put the capitalists out of the running. Left—But oh, the scorn on Mabel’s rosy tinted countenance when mamma and Aunt Har- riet offer a little well meant advice on the subject. Right — The sugar coat d brand for the child in the house. “Darling, don't you think it would be nice if you didn’t bring the kitty in the house—you can't tell where she may have been—and it would be such fun to see her scamper out the door!” Left—The most terrible of all is the self-made advice hound—the man wno gives you “‘good advice” when everything is all over but the shout- ing. “What you should have done,” and a lot more. he will hand you till you are blue in the face.
