Show INTO ITS OWN! Starched shirts arid silk hats made a good showing during the royal visit, hut all of that is past and we are proud that we conducted ourselves in such a respectable and edifying manner. We are not apt to forget one thing about the visit of the British king and queen, and that is the satisfaction in knowing that their majesties could eat with relish and mustard an honest-to-goodness hot dog. It is comforting to feel that the space between royalty and common folks isn't so great that the lowly frankfurter can't bridge the gap. These are the days of family and church picnics, family reunions and ice cream socials. There will be found the A..u.i.;m hot dog at the typically American scene. As you eat ;u:iid a group of friends, give a thought what it means to be Mr. Average Citizen instead of his highness. You have a mouthful of bun and are ap to be dribbling relish over your bib, but what a nice sort of life this is! You enjoy your picnic pic-nic and we bet the crowned heads liked theirs at Hyde Park, too. The only thing that puzzles us is why they ate only one apiece. And another thing, it wouldn't surprise us to find some company putting a frankfurter on the market, stamped with a coat of arms as a trade mark and "By Appointment to His Royal Highness" stenciled on each hot dog. That is advertising. |
