On The Side
(Distributed by King
These present day grandmas
are really something. I know of
a glamorous California grand
ma who has four daughters and
three grandchildren. This grand
ma is an unusual career woman.
She is a riveter in an aircraft
plant. She is also quite a speed
girl on. the highways. Driving
an automobile is not exciting
enough for : her, she rides a
motorcycle. .
Says O'Kelly .
"Permit me to protest against
your references to My Name is
a Poem Club President Hugh
Blue as an Irishman," writes a
South Boston subscriber named
O'Kelly. Blue is not a true Irish
man, only those who have
Mac" or "O" in the name are
rhyme has it:
BY MAC and O
You'll always know .
True Irishmen they say, ...
But if they lack the O and Mac
No Irishmen are they.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q.
Didn't Victor Herbert write the
song titled "A Little Love, a
Little Kiss"? A. No, sir. It was
written by a Paris cafe owner
named Nilson Fyssher. Q. What
type blondes were Helen of
Troy and Cleopatra? A. Helen
of Troy was a golden blonde.
Cleopatra . was brunette who
dyed her hair red. Q. Why are
wearers of hornrimmed glasses
constantly taking them off and
dangling them aimlessly
around? Don't they know what
to do with their hands? A. Your
query baffles me. I don't even
know why the horn-rimmed
glass wearers are always chew
ing on the ends of the holders
when they take their spectacles
off. Maybe they're afraid if. they
don't do that they will suck
their thumbs. .
Gelling It Right
Where was the first "walk
up" clothing store? Who origi
nated the slogan "Walk Upstairs
and Save Ten Dollars"? I think
it was Foreman and Clark, Los
Angeles. However,-a Pittsburgh
er stoutly claims it was Morry
Goldman of his city who op
erated in the Golden Triangle
there, using the business name
of "Second Story Morry." That,
says he, was in 1915. I . believe
Foreman and Clark had an up
stairs store before that. .-
So They Say . ........
Young woman of Manhattan,
who is somebody's "girl Fri
day," asks, "how do you handle
a boss born under the sign of
Libra?" Executives "born - under
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) have
a marked weakness for "oomph
girl" type secretaries. They en
gage a girl because of her facial
beauty and streamlined figure

and then hope she has brains.
The Libra males are very sus
ceptible to subtle flattery and
their secretaries should figure
out at least fifty different ways
of telling the boss he's wonder
ful. Or, so say the stargazers.
