Allan King has long beep one
of my very favourite comedians.
He’s the sloppy one who is fore-
ever flicking his cigar ashes
onto Ed Sullivan’s rug.
The dashing Mr. King has a
rough time of it at home, ac
cording to the stories he relates
about Mrs. King whom' he por
trays as something of a Stingy
. spendthrift — stingy with her
money, free with his.
There is little doubt that
Allan would heartily agree with
the blues chaser which appear
ed in the London Free Press re
cently: Before marriage a man
spends his time spooning a-
round; after marriage he spends
it forking over.
I disaigree. And what’s more,
I'm certain that even Allah
King would concur that al
though his jokes about Mrs.
King’s dollar daze have made
him the star he is, she is far
from tae money-mangler he
would like us to believe.
It has been my experience
that if it wasn’t for the thrift
iness of the nation’s home
makers, the nation’s homes
would be dark, cold, damp and
empty places to live — for a
man has no conception of how
to spend money wisely.
HiS -idea of grocery shopping
vyould be to purchase a box of
crackers, a pound of limburger
a quart $ milk for the kids ahd
a base of beef for him. He
would forget to mail the check
to the hydrp company, neglect
to straighten up the fuel ac
count and flood the basement
with sewage in his efforts to
save his poker money from the
clutches of a reputable plumber.
W feet, what; our brawny
boasting • bearded boys call
“forking over” is more correct
ly termed “slicing up” which is
a woman’s only defence for a
mail’s inability to handle fin-

concern for his image in the
