Roundabout wonder*, when God
designed thin Helpmate creature
«•1W Woman, why did He make
fear ao talkative? Mrs. Rounda-
bout ha* her own column, hut do
yóú think It ever occurs to her,
Jnat to leave thU «pace alone? No
sir, «he tries to horn in at every
|tv«n opportunity, under the guise
of being helpful.
Her latent efforts include items
of somewhat unusual interest, so
we are obliging her by using
| them. (Never would Roundnbout
jj give her the satisfaction of know-
big that he not only found the
tid-bitn informative himself, hut
actually I appreciate her help.
Just don't want her to think she
can have her spuce and mine too!)
She repoiied a somewhat uni-
quj! situation this week. Fred and
Bínale Lunsford motored to Hous-
ton over the week-end to see their
son, Frederic and wife Kay. This
Itself wasn't too unusual, in that
the Lunsford* drive down occas-
ionally. But the oddity of the day
was in their attendance of com-
mencement exercises at the Univ-
ersity of Houston where Frederic
saw his wife and mother-in-law
both receive degrees. Kay major-
ed in music, getting a Bachelor's
degree, and her mother was ob-
taining her Master's degree.
Roundabout extends congratul-
ate to all concerned!
