Crazy fans, leaping about on washing machines and sewing machines, made the floor— and the store owners—shake. “Let's get this boy out of here!” yelled an exectitive. Mario, a sort of pudgy fellow had blown kisses to the mob, and one gal on the 4th floor had screamed, “Be my love!” (name of record) and just about fainted. out the window. Two people saved her (why, they didn’t say.) e So MARIO told me the girls in their frenzy took away all sorts of souvenirs, including some of his skin.

Now Lanza's starting to return a profit. They now own real estate, even a Nevada tungsten mine, together. Curiously, when Weiler was backing him, Marto was lending $1300 to Hungarian composer Nicholas Brodsky who was broke here.

Americana By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Mar. 2—There is a very funny little book out, called “The Care and Training of Husbands,” by a gal named Anne Folsom. It is funny even if you are a husband, but awfully disquieting. The piteous plight of the American husband {s ‘that he has never had any dignity as an institution. His coat«6f-arms is a rolling pin rampant on a. field of bum jokes, His patron saint is Mr. Jiggs and his patron saintess is Maggie. He is regarded as haif-goof, * half-bad little boy, and he has an unbroken record of. never. once being right, apart from the day he led his dewy bride down the road to social security. ‘The Folsom lady in her cute little book is oh, so humorous about husbands, oh so whimsical, She uses the analogy of the baby books—preparing for a husband, beginning his training early, daily care, common diseases, special problems, and so forth. The delicious ‘humor isto be found in the common, female concept that the ‘male mate is completely witless, once separated from his pay roll, and should be steered away. from hot stoves and evil companions as one fends a child from disaster. > & »

“THIS PATRONIZATION of the male animal always has annoyed the bewhiskers out of me, because I am a husband and I know some husbands who are smarter than their wives, who hive exemplary habits and who do not sneak home of nights with their shoes in their hands. I even know some who are not henpecked. I wish to"‘come out in defense of husbands, .~.-Female sensitivity to a gnawing fear is a heavy part of the popular ridicule of spouses. The dame feels, away down deep, that the guy . must be a little Joose in the rafters if he allowed himself to get sucked into matrimony at RIL and hence must be enforced away from further irresponsibility.

When a guest leaves there should remain a bonne bouche—a pleasant taste. We're all bound by the rules of hospitality to remember. I'll try to remember. As 1 said, the airport was almost swarming with curious people awaiting the arrival of the French models. Anticipation ran high. After all, there were many whose blood is still quite warm and had vision above par, ‘ * * & AN ADVANCE $nan cautiously informed membérs of the press that there would be no cocktail parties or dinners. The girls, except for the appéarance at Block's, wanted to be left alone. Okay. ; The news hit me particularly hurd because I had gone to the trouble of getting a first year French book. Always be prepared, is my motto. It's something that stuck from early Boy Scout training. 'e WELL, the plane landed. Everyone rushed to the fence. Those of us with photographers to bolster our courage, went right to the plane, The door opened and several men piled out without a backward glance.

Five models in all appeared. We were expect-.

ing six. One got sick in Toledo and had to remain. The first impression was that they had left something on the plane. That something was glamour. En plein jour (in broad’ day), perhaps, you can't have feminine warmth, softness, freshness that men seek. Perhaps they were tired. Perhaps French girls just aren't as slick as our own American girls. Voila. at © b : I MADE a.fast appraisal and headed for Danielle Chevron. With the help of my French book I led off: “Le ciel est clair, et 1a lune et les etoiles brillent et illuminent la terre.” " “Huh?” replied Miss Chevron. “Speak to me in English,” she said. “Nice day, isn't it?" “Very.” “Yes it is.” > > WE DIDN'T get a good start. Someone yelled that the car was ready to take the girls to town. The models jabbered so fast that I couldn’t tell whether they were speaking.French or not. Most disappointing.

who has been so spoiled, so pampered, that she has come to endow herself with self-importance not generally shared by other maids in other lands, which tend less to the deification of the female. In some countries the cockbird does rule the roost. In America he dodges the hurled crockery and the lopsided logic derived from books prepared by shrivelled old maids of both

sexes. * % BY SOME curious twist of custom, the American husband has been accorded the position of court fool, willing drudge whose earnings are taken from him for his own good; compulsive liar, chronic sinner, and perpetual wrongdoer. He is a man to be managed, to be bullied and berated. When HIS evil-doings make life intolerable for HER, SHE leaves HIM, and HE pays HER. The poor bum is on the defensive from the second she says “I do.” Children grow to adulthood with small respect for poor old Pa, because they have sat around the lodge watching poor old Pa take his lumps since earliest memory. They have seen Pa join dull brotherhoods as an excuse for sneaking out of the house once in a while. They have listened to his alibis until they learn to lie from just listening. They have seen his masculinity derided and his position as head of the house reduced to one cut under the puppy's status. ©

THERE ARE, of course, some homes in which father is actually the autocrat, but they are minority homes, and the neighbors whisper maliciously about that cranky Mr. Soandso, who gives his poor wife such a bad time. In time she divorces him for cruelty — cruelty meaning nonsubmissiveness fo a popular delusion that a husband is a beast of burden with no civil liberties in the home. “Henpeck” is a word - that is large in our lexicon, and it means what it says, which is the constant belaboring of the skull by a .female fowl. I weary of it, and of the constant projection. of the wedded male as a fool, an oaf and a potential knave. And now all I have to do is. smuggle this essay out of: the house because if Mama catches -me with it on my person she will beat me and take away my tricycle. A
