This Week’s Cover
- Here a Coast Guard man is adding to his duties the task of guarding coastal waters against getting too crowded with fish. This he does by casting a line into the briny and murmuring, “Come supper, come supper.” Painter Dohanos says he doesn’t know whether the lighthouse keeper’s wife or another guardsman inhabits that kitchen, for he can’t see any farther into the window than you can. Visible evidence suggests a wife, who has imposed the classic wifely rule: if men catch fish, they can darn well clean them, too, and outdoors, see? Dohanos suspects that in the kitchen a cranberry pie is being looked at, while studying a lighthouse he made the acquaintance of a cranberry bog. By the way, what do sea gulls think? Same as men. Let’s eat.
