Tell him," the housewife added, "that men spend more itime looking into ithe mirrors than women. My husband is always trimming his moustache or shaving. And he has a jolly good look at himself while he does it!" A London typist looked guilty when she was told. After a few minutes' thought, she said, "Well, perhaps when you think of all the times I have powdered my nose the Swede may be right.
