THE TRAGIC CONCLUSION OF COUSIN
ALEX’S GO-HITHER ATTITUDE ON
THE DISCOMFORTS OF HOME
YES, that’s Cousin Alex in his sample clothes. Alex was a very neat dresser and he was always lookin in the fashion magazines to see what our well-dressed men were going to drink this Summer.
He was a traveling man for a big Danbury firm and only came home to sober up. He lived in hotels and Pullman trains so much that he often longed to get married and settle down.
But when anybody started to talk about the comforts of home, he would immediately pull he bachelor ideas up around his ears and get mad.
He’d say that all the comforts of home propaganda was pro-alimony literature gotten up by the lawyers and their confederates.
He said he never got a good cup of coffee at home in his life and everything was so burned they ought to use a fire alarm for a dinner gong.
