the situation.
What has become of the contented
housewife?
Some of the new neckties nowadays
remind us that long whiskers had their
uses.
There is no broadcasting station
like the neighbor woman who hears a
piece of scandal.
Even if a girl does not want to get
married she usually likes to be en

There are more highflyers on the
ground than in the air.
Why is crossing the street like mus

you’ll be flat.
We advise that when in doubt of
whether or not to kiss a young lady,
good night, you should give yourself
the benefit of the doubt.
It is those getting up exercises that
bother us of a morning.
It is sometimes fortunate that the
fellow who regards himself as the
“life of the party,” doesn’t know what
the other members of a party think
about him.
Perhaps the greatest blessing of the
radio game is that the headpiece
makes your ears stay back.
It is estimated that alarm clocks
added 500 cuss words to our language.
