At this time of year, I can hardly stand myself, let alone my wife, my neighbor's wife, and various other people I'm supposed to love. Bearing this in mind, perhaps you will ex- cuse the faintly anti-romantic tone of the following. Nothing disconcerts a woman quite as much as the sugges- tion that she is not the fingers- to-therbone type of worker she claims to be. And that's a big statement, because an awful lot of things disconcert a woman. Trouble is, most men swallow this legend. They come home from work with their tails drag- ging, and barely have their coats off when the recital starts. They react in various ways to the avalanche that flows from Mum on everything she did from the time she got out of bed this morning. One of the most widely used methods of retaining sanity is to paste an interested look on your face, go right on eating your dinner, and emit a repertoire of small sounds indicating incre- dulity, approval and sympathy, accompanied by popping the eyes, if your mouth is full, Family marks lady's birthday Mrs. Charles Johnson of Bel- mont, who has been spending the winter, with her daughters, Mrs. Ernest Kennedy, was guest of honor at a birthday party last Monday to celebrate her 84th birthday, Guests included Mr. and Mrs. George Garton and family of Tillsonburg, Mr. Glen Johnson and son of Belmont, Mrs. Henry Bieber and Mrs. Wilfred Bieber of Clandeboye, Mrs. Glen Ken- nedy and family, Mrs. Harold Townsend and family, Mrs. Ira Carling and Mrs. William Frost of Lucan.

This gets you through the meal. Then she says: "Why do you never talk to me?" Another way of countering the vivid account of the way she got at the ironing right after she made the beds is to say, ",0h, put a sock in it, Who the hell cares how long it took you to wax the floor?" But this method is not recommended unless your wife is paralyzed from the waist down. And up. The more subtle and intelli- gent approach is one I have developed, and which I am too public-spirited to keep to my- self. It is to read women's ma- gazines, Practically every one of them these days contains an article about how to hold your husband. For example, this week found a couple of dandies. One reads: Stop Boring Your Hus- band! The second asks, Are You Exploiting Your Husband? Just crease the magazine at the article, put some fingerprints on It, and underline a few preg- nant phrases. Then leave the open magazine in some place where she's likely to see it, such as the bathroom or inside the refrigerator. Next, find a few murder mys- teries in which husbands have done away with their wives. Or news stories in which a manhas gone berserk and axed his entire family. Get into the habit of reading them aloud to your wife, jovially, and with relish. Start grinding up aspirin tablets and dropping them into glasses of milk just as she enters the room. When she starts talking about working so hard, fix her with a piercing stare and ask softly, "Are you really unhappy with your life, darling?" This me- thod is practically guaranteed to give her something else to think about besides what she told the milkman when he short-changed her. It's all very well for women to talk about how hard they work, and what a state their nerves are in, from the con- tinual pressure of "kids, kids, kids:" But I, for one, am not interested, and don't believe a word of it.
