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."
