GRASS WIDOWERS

A TE AROHA PHENOMENON

ANOTHER “SERIOUS ALLEGATION”

Grass Widowers in Te Aroha at the present time are almost as many as bees in a hive. Whether it is from their gregarious instincts or the necessities of the case they are to be found hiving together at meal time in our local public dining rooms in remarkable numbers. A common salutation to any particular lonely looking or woe-be-gone local male resident is: “Got Beachitis?” or “Wife and kids at the beach?” Either hemark* appears to “do the trick” and call forth a eulogy of womankind quite unexpected in these proasic and decadent days.

To listen to the conversation of local grass widowers, in a Whitaker street dining room i\ a revelation of depths of tenderness quite unexpected whether it is the result of the perfect cuisine or “beachitis” is a matter of v opinion—probably a little of both —though one good landlady avers it is her superb menu that calls forth this lovely adoration of womankind and “good wives.” In any ease there, will be some joyous homecomings for more appreciated wives. Truly the old adage is right, “You get at a man’s heart through his stomach.”
