And she that possesseth the figure of a nutpick may possess also the labit of “picking” and the terrors of “temperament!” But, knowest thou a F. AT man that is not a little sunbeam, ever smiling and full of good cheer? And knowest thou a fat woman who is not omforting, even as a velvet sofa cushion or a hot drink after a motor trip? Yea, verily! A fat husband is sweeter than Charity! He suffereth 'ong—and Is kind! He doth not possess grouches, is not easily provoked, # not filed with suspicion nor puffed up with vanity—accepteth all things, enjoyeth all things, endureth all things and eateth whatsoever is put before iim with complacency and relish. He faileth thee not at the dinner hour, and is content to sit at HOME hereafter in sweet repose. For he desireth naught else in all the world save ® good meal, a smoke, & nap and a peaceful evening by the firéside, But a lean and lanky husband is ofttimes filled with restlessness and terves and the wanderlust, And the call of the Wild Time is ever in his ears He is as @ Newfoundlind puppy confined within a kenne watch in @ munitions plant or the Kaiser {n Holland He is as comforting around the house as unexpectedly and as soothing as a vacuum c . & lighted n alarm clock that goeth off aner in the next room His NERVES are as touchy as a telephone!
