Engagements
Encourage
Arrangers
by Porter Evans
Businessmen and women are ready
to pounce
On a family with an engagement to
announce.
A forthcoming marriage, a sacra
ment of the church,
(That is if the bride isn’t left in
the lurch)
Will bring letters from people who
specialize
In all kinds of wedding and trous
seau merchandise.
There’s a helpful woman at the Uew
York City Best’s
On whose shouWers alone your trous
seau problem rests.
A wedding arranger prophesied with
despair
That Mother would promptly land in
a wheel chair
If she alone would try to cope
With wedding arrangements beyond
her scope.
Eesorts and travel agencies send
pami>hlets galore,
“Spend your honeymoon,” they say,
“by the romantic shore.”
Atlantic City boasts a year round
season.
Sun Valley, Bermuda quote rates
within reason.
Other resorts within airplane’s reach
Were Jamaica and Cuba and Miami
Beach.
Another faction of wedding fixtures
Are people to pay for bridal pictures.
Caterers, florists and big department
stores
For you will open their arms and
doors
All kinds of businesses will come to
the aid
Of an engaged girl, a source of trade.
By congrats and best wishes from
doting aunts
Even the greeting card company’s
enhanced
Stock goes up in American Tel.
Prom the friends who wire they
think it’s swell
That you’ve got a man and also a
ring
A situation that makes the business
men sing.

I think I should introduce my
self to you first. I am the unseen,
yet absolutely there, Man Who Comes
to Breakfast. Since no one ever
listens to what I have to say—see
ing no one. there to hang the words
(in—I go tlirough the breakfast line,
get my own biscuits—no toast, thank
yon!—and sit down to the table that
appears to have the most to say
about the most interesting subject.
It’s a system that works out ad
mirably well. Occasioually I hear a
few gripes from the table at which
I’m sitting as “Where’d the butter
go to?” “Wonder who left this
glass of fruit juice? Guess it will
poison me!” This morning I heard
more than 1 bargained for. You see,
even though I’m unseen, I blush
quite, readily, and the girls at my
table suddenly began a discussion
of Marriage. Someone said “Have
yon been to the Marriage Lec
tures?”, and it began.
I looked around the table again
just to see who was there. Only
griiy haired, wrinkled seniors. What
do they know of marriage, I asked
myself and was answered almost im
mediately.
Fay; Well I think IMarrlage is a
a fine—
Sally T.; Von know what I read
about it? A wedding is a funeral
at which you C!(n smell your own
flowers.
(I applauded this heartily. That’s
the way a girl should—)
Sally T.: But natch’ly I don’t
feel that way about it.
Fay; As I w.as saying, it’s grand,
but you ought to think twice be
fore marrying.
Mary Wells; (She was waving a
piece of jellied toast d:tngerously
near my e:ir and laughing)—More
than twice if yon ask me.
Barbara W.; My only objection is
having to wash all those socks!
Peggy Sue; Be firm! You wear
’em—You wash ’em!
(Really uow. This modern genera
tion! In my day—)
Sally H.; Socks, or no socks, I
suppose life would be dull without
marriage.
Mary Wells; It wouldn’t be com
plete without it.
Virginia: Well, I’m hoping.
Sally T.; Tarry wants to marry!
Mary B.; (she just came to the
tal)le) What are you all talking
about?
Everybody; Marriage—!
Fay: What else?
Mary B.; Just let me tell you
girls, it’s here to stay.
Sal Mills; It’s something every
family should definitely have.
Sally,H.; Was that the bell I just
heard?
Mary Wells: Yes, but I sure wish
they were wedding bells instead
Of class bells.
Prettj' soon I was left alone at
the table. Jly grits had gotten cold,
but it was worth it. I stacked up
my dishes, thinking of all I had
heard.
Crash! A glass broken! Miss
Lytch is coming over. Here’s where
being an unseen man helps. Goodbye.

It’s Morgan at his best...sweet swing
at its best... in this new Decca platter.
When it comes to cigarettes,
Russ says in his typical Morgan Manner,
‘■Camels suit my ‘T-Zone’ to a T.* ”
Millions of smokers agree with
Russ about Camels. More people are
smoking Camels than ever before.
Try Camels on your “T-Zone —
Find out for yourself why, with
sitiokers who have tried and compared,
Camefs are the “choice of experience.”
And here’s another greaf record-
More people are smoking
