Of making a husband out of a man and trying his ways to understand. Getting some babies and scared to death, when they wiggled their nose or held their breath. Yes. the second ten are more' Iscrene, you're lots more contended and not so gieen. Jt may not be ideal but you've had your fill, of fights and quanels so you just keep still. You've learned to balance the budget right, and stretch all the dollars and be real tight; Then the last little fellow can wipe his own nose, clean out his ears and put on his clothes. (You've learned to say "No" Avith a final tone, so high pressure salesmen will leave you 'alone. JThe "Wolves" seldom whistle -as you pass by, if they did you'd know better than give them the eye. You may not look like a movie star, but know all the answers and what they are for. Your hair may have "Silver Among the Gold", but you've 'plenty to show for growing old.
