- THIS WEEK’S COVER
- Let’s pick a few flaws in this cover. Isn’t it unfair to make this young man sit for hours practically alone in a living room, instead of impressing upon him the fulfilling joy of evenings in the bosom of a happy family? And how can this young lady tell whether her suitor is made of durable stuff, if he doesn’t prove it by sticking out some family evening, while one by one the surplus people slowly wear out and stagger off to bed? On the other hand, is it efficient to cram four relatives close together in an intimate room and leave two lovers rattling around in a big one, when both groups would do better vice versa? Oh, well, maybe there’s nothing wrong with painter Utz’s theme at all. Who really understands the mystery of love?
