(Above seems appropriate to attach to a letter to a navy wife. As a rule, navy wives are not especially romantic, but. of course, there are exceptions.) "Keep this book clean." That's what it says on printed forms pasted in books circulated by the New York public library. I am in accord with the suggestion that public library books be well taken care of. But why not say: "Please keep this book clean"? Just to word it "Keep this book clean" smacks of impertinence and arrogance. It is lacking in the courtesy taxpayers are en titled to expect in their relations and dealings with public em ployees.

The Statler in Washington and the Shamrock in Houston are the only two hotels built in the U. S. A. in the past-10 years. ThBt's what the genial Georgian, Paul Reese, says. Do you agree? Or can you name another hotel built in this country in that period and so take Paul for a stogie? That Club "Have some friends named Forrest," writes a Pittsburgher. "If and when they have a female child and name her Dorris will she be eligible for the My Name Is a Poem club?" The question was put to MNIAPC President Hugh Blue, who said: "Anybody who believes Dorris rhymes with Forrest should buy a rhyming dictionary. I might add that I do not think there is in existence a feminine name that rhymes with Forrest. If I smoked stogies I might even wager a stogie on it." Asking Queries from clients. Q. What is the origin of the expression "Coal Oil Johnny"? A. All I know is that some years ago a Pennsylvanian known as "Coal Oil Johnny" created a sensation as a free spender along Broad way. Am not familiar with the details of the gentleman's career. Was before my time. Q. How many times has Al Jolson been married? An argument in our office as to this has resulted in a wager.

Mule. 8e Men "Perhaps some of your femi nine subscribers can use an oc casional hint on husband han dling," writes a young matron of Baltimore. "Most wives de plore the fact that their husbands have that kind of midriff bulge called 'a corporation.' It is de pressing to see the handsome, well-built young fellow you married develop a shape like a kewpie in his middle thirties. My dearest friend and I both have hurbands with shapes like inai. we have each purchased one of those pinup boy calendars which feature well streamlined slim waisted men. We both con tinually express admiration for the figures of these physical mar vels. It looks as if our husbands are taking the hint. Both are now taking more exercise than urna, I expect any day now to see my spouse start doing a daily dozen."
