THIS WEEK’S COVER
- Poor little hobby widow! How grievous it is to have a lovely home and fine man who uses it as a place to build a home for birds. How extra-grievous, if this happens to be some special day like the widow’s wedding anniversary, and it has escaped the memory of Mr. O’Tool. But come, let us have a happy ending. When Alajalov’s artisan lays down his tools, he will be so happy about his birdhouse that, going upstairs, he will kiss his wife with special ardor; that will remind her what a wonderful guy he is in the main, and in peace and affection they will sit and observe the moon together. In case you think Mr. O’T. should be punished some for wife neglect, don’t worry—wait till his birdhouse starts twittering at 4 A.M.
