Americana By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Jan..17—I am pearl-diving for a pink shirt the other morn in the organized chaos which comprises the home of my lingerie, and I find the shirt okay, but there is a button gone {rom the top, putting me in a devilish temper. It is not so much that I have only the one pink shirt to wear with the re one gray suit as the fact that in this day and age there is very little security for. the husband We do not demand much from our brides—not enough, I'l be bound. All we ask is that the buttons shall’ adhere to the shirts, that there be some access to the bathroom when we are in a mad morning rush, plus the presence of a 7 cup of coffee and no morning . conversation. Especially no morning conversation,

NOW THAT, it would seem is little enough to demand of matrimony, in return for the perpetual board. keep and guilt complex that stems from same. In my household I contribute heavily to the maintenance of at least five dames. If you count. the poodle, and it seems like one of them could take an. occasional check on the health of the old man’s buttons. Also, I do not see why they always take the suspenders off the pants. Nor why they do not sew a button on the pants from time to time. Out of my entire wardrobe there is not, momentarily, one complete set of suspender anchors on any one pair of britches. It comes faintly from the past that a classic American home scene was the wife and/or

Baby-sitters replace grandma as a warden for the monsters, and I hear tell there is even a firm in New York that will supply dog-sitters for-a fee.
