PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
"Making a Dress" '
It usually starts something like this:
Mrs. Phil will be sitting on the oppos-
ite side of the table.... The tea-kettle
will 'be wheezing out a whistle. Now
and again suchansuch, our collie pup,
stirs himself on the floor in front of
the stove and thumps his tail as if to
give emphasis to some point in a ca-
nine dream. Tabby, who has manag-
ed to sneak in through the side door,
will be dozing on the cushion in one
of the rocking chairs . . , but never
asleep enough to relax her vigilance
against anybody who might want to
put her out.
"Phil, do you think I look well in
blue?" . . . .Silence from behind the
newspaper. The question will be re-
peated. A grunt and a great shoW of
stirring from the head of the house-
hold. "Why yes . . .you look well in
..in ..1fm," Mrs. Phil is too in-
terested in the catalogue to notice the
sentence is never finished.
"Phil, do you think I should have a
lace collar on my dress?" The man
of the house stirs around, looks up va4
guely and says in a democratic way,
"Why of course." He doesn't know
just what she said but figures that he
has answered the question in a fine
way. Mrs. Phil looks up accusingly,
"But you said that you didn't like that
brown dress of mine with the lace on
it." He comes out of a dangerous
position in the siege of Singapore to
say, "It looks bad." There is a pained
silence. "I meant the Singapore situ-
ation, dear, he filially says, " That,
green dress looks fine on you."
That does it!
"You haven't been paying any at-
tention to me!" After that everything
the culprit says can be used against
him. However, Mrs. Phil usually sees
another dress somewhere in the cata-
logue which she likes the style of and
everything settles down quietly again.
"Phil, did you notice any dresses in
the window of Murphy's store yester-
day?" By this time lie is engrossed in
Pop6ye and looks up laughing, "spin-
ach." There is another tangle which
has to be unsnarled. There is a faint
trace of a smirk on the clog's face and
the cat seems to get her dozing caught:
up in her throat.
The next step is selecting 'buttons
from a bureau drawer, Mrs, Phil sel-
ects several cards, of buttons and be-
gins placing them out in neat groups
on the table, She has formulated a
plan for the dress . , .knows exactly
what kind of cloth she will buy and
how the dress will be cut. She wants
to decide on the kind of buttons lie
likes best , . the ones, incidentally of
which she has only two left—left in
a drawer some place.
Women can get together and talk
over dresses but a man always seems
to say the wrong thing. Watch wo-
men in operation sonic time and see
how they decide on a dress. With
mysterious sweeps and waves of the
arms and hands they will make the
motions that signify just how the dress
should be made. Let a man come in
and he'll get himself into trouble in,
two or three minutes.
