Many men never have to bring the
boss home for dinner she's already
there. Herm Albright
He was a thoughtful husband, but
when it came to gifts he could never
please his wife. The gift was always
too large or too small, too gaudy or too
dull. Instead of trying to get some
thing for her Easter outfit this year,
he decided to give her a $100 gift cer
tificate. When he returned home that eve
ning, he asked her what she got with
the gift.
"Nothing yet," she replied. "I just
went downtown and exchanged it for
two $50 certificates." John L. Powers

My Easter hat this year is smash;
A hat that's gay and witty,
A hat that's bold, or even brash.
Deliriously big-city.
In fact this hat is just so swish
(One-of-a-kind. I swear it).
That Easter morn, my love, you'll wish
For rain, so I can't wear it.
Betty Billip

"Relax. People get married every day."
Woman's Work Is Navar Dens
Two jobs that the average woman
l seldom inclined to shirk
Are working to get a husband
And getting a husband to work.
Hal Chadwick
The father looked at his little boy
with skepticism. "You want a ride to
school? Why, when 1 was your age I
walked three miles to school, snow or
rain. And that was after I delivered my
newspaper route at dawn and helped
get my brothers and sisters ready!"
The youngster was visibly impressed.
"Cee Dad." he said. "1 wish we could
have fun like that nowadays!"

THE sign on the cage in the variety
store said that the little brown bird
was an oriental bunting, guaranteed to
bring good luck. The price was $1.98.
In my pocket was $3. I would have
given 10 times that amount to set the
little bird free.
He sat there in his cage trembling,
his fragile body shaken by every heart
beat. From the corner of his eye he
looked at me, and I could imagine a
piteous entreaty.
The cage was crowded among cages
of parakeets. It wasn't the smallest
cage I ever saw, but it was a prison for
a browji bunting dying of fear.
For a wild moment I saw myself
thrusting $2 of my 3 at the nearest
clerk, grabbing the cage, and setting
the little bird free among my poplar
trees. Of course, it wouldn't work. He
would die in a free world he has never
known. He would be killed by the hawk
or the spring storms.
But something in him seemed to beg
for help. The noise in the store was

deafening, the heat billowed and
swelled. The little bird trembled.
How foolish it is to be so disturbed
about a bird in a variety-store cage
who will live a briefer span than most
birds and then die anyway. There isn't
enough money in the world to free all
the prisoners whose only crime is in
being bom small and helpless and caged
to bring someone "good luck."
This one has brought me nothing but
bad luck because I see him even now
between me and my typewriter, and
there is a weight on my heart. I am
ashamed to have lived so long and re
mained so imperfectly armored against
life and death and sorrow.
Except that at this moment I am
deeply aware in a humble, human way
of the infinite pitying tenderness of
One who mourned the fall of every
sparrow.
If my bunting served such a purpose
for me, I pity myself that I needed the
reminder.
