A Calif ornian sued her hus band for divorce after 48 years of marriage. Imagine - that. Breaking up two years before the golden wedding. A sad case. However, It is not the record. In Ohio a man sued for divorce after 62 years of marriage. He said his wife was "running around with other men." She was 84. Historical Not What king of France intro duced height building shoes? Such is an inquiry received from a Boston shoe salesman. It was either Louis XIV or Louis XV. Although I studied history at three different colleges and sev eral prep Schools I still get those two old boys confused. It was probably Louis XV who had high heels put on his shoes so he could be taller than a female he admired. Incidentally, Louis XV, who lived at Versailles, had Mme. Du Barry and Mme. Pom padour for girl friends but even so was never content. He once said: "What would life be with out coffee; but then,, what -.is life even with, coffee?' - Passing By Patricia Morison. One of my favorite actresses. In addition to being greatly talented and extremely versatile, Patricia is a very smart looker. She is not married. Says she. has "no time for a husband" and will never marry. There have been some beautiful actresses who have never married, but not many. Offhand I can think of only five: Mary Boland, Mary Garden, Maude Adams, Lillian Gish and Greta Garbo. Forgotten Man What does your wife know nhnnt Nienla Tpsla? She should have his portrait displayed in a place of honor . in . her kitchen. That is, if she has some mechan ical appliances that have made her housekeeping easier.' It was a small electrical motor invented in 1889 that has made possible all present day mechanical ap pliances in the household. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Do you wear a belt or suspenders? A. Except when I go coatless in the good old summertime, wear suspenders, or braces, as we say in Brooklyn. Incidental ly, it has been claimed that wearing suspenders makes a " man less liable to develop that midriff bulge referred to as "a corporation." Q. How short must a man be to justify his. being called "SSorty"? What is the average height of men called "Shrimp"? A. Men of 5 feet 3 down to 5 feet are rightly called "Shrimp." Only one man in 20 in this country is under 5 feet 4. Average height of American male is 5 feet 7. .. So They Say ; - It was O. R. Michel who claim ed: "Men born under the sign of. Leo (July 23-August 22) are soft-hearted, fat -.headed, mag nanimous, good friends, good executives, don't take any back talk and most of them are hap pily married." Please Note V . In referring to victories of their fighters some fight mana gers use "we" as in "we knock ed him out in the fourth." When I hear a fight manager talk that way I am reminded of the fable of the ant and the elepnant, This pair crossed a small bridge together. When they reached the other side the ant said, "We sure did shake that thing." Aside3 :. Do you know what is the of ficial bird. of your state?
