My , wife and I had another anniversary this week,, and, ' as usual, neither of us re- membered it until three :days af- ter it was past,too late to cele- brate. brate. , . The reason I` admire the anni- versary addicts is the sheer bold- ness of their tactics. Usually, they. are, about the rottenest'. husbands intown, on a day-to-day basis. :But `'with one florid, extravagant gesture,; they wipe out. all : their 2`.'. s .and .. the las . 5ln$. ofa t 1 month lay the : groundwork for another year of getting away with mur- der.

Among their ranks you find the deer hunters, the fishermen, the hard drinkers, the poker. play- ers, the philanderers. And yet, . with a combination of .,..utter offr. nte y; andjncredible craftiness, they carry it off every year, A big bash of candy, a flou- rish of -flowers, ' dinner a n .d :. a night on the : town; and the old ladyy falls for it every time.
