Aunt Mary didn't send Mr. Shepherd (below right) this shirt, but the pose is typical of the frame of mind of those who wish kind-hearted rela tives would send checks instead of clothes. It's that time of year when every one resolves to smoke and eat less, to get to work on fime'for a change or to help the little woman with the dishes. . J. P.
