Fat, Good hatured Tommy Robbinfe was one of those model hus bands that the newspaper paragraphers poke fun at. You know the type: He got the 7:50 every morning and the 5:15 at night. Harry Miller, the next door neighbor, was Tommy's exact op posite. He was tall and slendor and wore those snappy, form fitting suits you see advertised. They called him a "good mixer.' Tommy and Harry had one thing in common however?they both had wives. Tommy's was a pippin, a dashing blonde who dressed so that all of the many curves of her perfect "Thirty * Six" showed to advantage. Mrs. Miller was a cute little trick , who cared naught for clothes but loved her home and kitchen. 1 Oh Boy! How she could cook! Then came the smash. Tommy ^ thought he couldn't live another minute without Mrs. Miller's 1 cooking and Harry believed he wouldn't last out the hour if he couldn't "step out" with Mrs. Robbins. They talked it over calmly. Divorce was the only solution, but not until they had swapped wives for?That is the great sustaining secret of "SO 2 LONG LETTY."
