GAR
and
PICh
By Bill Smiley
ft('
THE LAST SURRENDER" I nerve to wear to. church north -
was badgered into ettenclei ally. And which itdm will be
ing a wedding this summer.
Ty' are ,events I normally
-avoid as carefully as I Would
a leper colony.
* *
But this was a, special one.
My old partner, after fighting
the good fight for forty year,
had finally been snared. I look-
ed upon it more as a historic
'event than a mere exchange
• * *
• ,
For years,'my wifeeand every
othen:enarried female' he came
In contact with,had bullied Itim,
pleaded with him, urged him,
pushed eligible young women
in frodt of him, at
and noble feminine
known as Don't let a Single
One Gel Away.
* *
During the proce
husbandsQ. • x.

greater heights, of courage, stub-
borness or insanity, depending
on your point of view.\
Anyway, he finally tOok the
plunge, or got out of his depth
or something, after four dec-
ades of incredible fortitude.
But trust him. He didn't just
• get hitched and start raising, a
family and going through all
the horrors that ,involves.
.*
Nope. He He married a charm-
- ing widow, and when the last
vow had been taken, he became
an instarit husband, father and!
grandfather. The rest of us 00
throlgh twentryfive_years of -Un-.
mitigated hell to aciiieve that
'serene height.
eWetlee-as1 start -out -to-saw
weddings, to me and to most
men; are -just a big pain in the
arm. I'd rather go to a good
funeral, any day.
* *
, .,But -,yvomen are different.
They take to Weddingslike cats
take to kipper. There is some-
thing almost morbid'abobt their
fascination with that production
which most men consider a
minor comedy.
*
'You ehoulegave .seen the. narie
-sense-we went throtigh getting
carefully stoted away in a hat-
box until it is,thrown away by
their tprand-daughter some day.
And finally, there is that de-
licious aftermeeh, when its all
over,, when they don't have to
worry about makeup any more,
when the shoes come off and the
hair comes down, and they can
get at the real business of the
weddine-tearbeeeto,e,taiters
costumes, manners and repuia-
tions pf all the other women
at the wedding. • .

W"e'd get -dressed up, shine our

crock of scotch or a carving
knife, end that's all there was
to it. " •
* *
Well, that's all I did to pre-
pare for- it. But my old woman
started operating at least a
Month before the ceremony.
Though .1 kept reminding her
that she :Wasn't the bride, she
was in and :out of practically
every dress shop in the pro-
vince, before she got the right
dress and hat. .

Then there was a big thing
about her gloves. They were
just a shade off ,the off -some-
thing -shade of the rest of the -
rig, Tears. Dye. Dye remov-

-mor.e like dropping than shop-
ping. And the prices! Oy!

HoWeyer, we Made it, and I
finally,realized why women like
weddings so much. First of all,
it gives, them a chance for a
'good cry without some callous
* kid saying, "Hey, Dad, what's
Mom bawling about NOW?"

Second, it affords thenn the
opportunity of wearing some
