be glad to perform the tho ceremony I decided that I would certainly pick the blond Wish VIsh you ou could have ha seen her as she posed on a high rock above the ocean with the setting sun for a background But she was as useless as a 20 bill on that island She could not learn to sew cook coole or herd goats While the brunette grew very do- do nestle The brunette would ho be mending my clothes when the blond would ho be pla playing Ing Narcissus over o some pool and combing her vagrant vagrant va- va grant tresses with a notched sea seashell shell sheH for a a. comb You know things were primi- primi tive Our struggle wa was for exist exist- ence I had often wondered which type of woman would win out under un- un der such circumstances I WOn WOn- which I would pick if I IWas Iwas was caned called upon to make a sudden choice I did not realize that the test was so dose close One day I heard cries of distress distress dis- dis tress and rushing to the beach I saw that both were caught by the undertow and were about to be drowned They were quite a ways apart Neither had become expert in swimming There was just time to save one Which should it be Why the pretty one of course I volunteered Remember said Crusoe we were on a desert island There might be a life time ahead It was vas an Important choice I rescued rescued res- res cued the brunette How that girl could cook I never regretted my decision A missionary was very conveniently wrecked on our Island married us and then one day he wandered too far from the shelter of our stockade stock stock- ade and I am afraid was captured by the cannibals and handed OVer OVerto overto to the tribal chef c No I 1 never regretted my decision deci- deci slon sion ho he repeated She even joined mo In working on the boat I was making In the hope that Wo to might sonic some day venture to leave the island But If you ou were so happy hapl I 1 Interrupted and she sho was so domestic domestic do- do and feminine and made you jOU so comfortable what became of her I wish you rou hadn't asked me that that sighed Crusoe Jt t was this way You see I had developed a alot alot lot of bad habits living atone and all And she started out to reform me Did I tell teU you jou I had learned to make a very superiOr quality of home brew You take half a peck of raIsins some sugar Go on with the stor story I said bluntly I dont don't drink Well VeU she made me cut that out said Crusoe Then she persuaded me to quit smoking SOmetimes I used to play AfrIcan dominoes with my man FrIday on Saturday night but she forbade me that pastime In short I soon became a a. model man Practically perfect Then one day I awoke to find her gone She had fled In our boat I found this note Dear Robin You are arc not as interesting as you once
