_____" Bage & â€"â€" THE TIMES ADVERTISERâ€" Thurs, June 28, 1962 OLIVE ALDOUS GARRETT On the other hand, if the answer is NO, it makes the wife feel guilty as she rocks in her cool hammock ‘mid the pines sipping a tall lime cooler. On the other hand.(again) if the indolent hussy in the hammock has a suspicious ?urn of mind she might think he meant YES but said he didn‘t enjoy life in the city without her just to put her off the scent. (Have I lost you? Probably lost Good Ol‘ Steve. He‘s decided to wrap the coffee grounds in this section of the paper!) Well, let‘s stop all this supposing and give Good OIl‘ Steve and his ilk some advice on how to live alone for the summer. Just a minute, Stevie, old boy, don‘t wrap the garbage in this section of the paper. Think a minute. A writer is somewhat like an artist you know. We pour our ALL into a column, (can‘t you tell?) just as an artist gives all of himself in his paintings. Knowâ€" ing this, would you feel right about the ultimate end of this page of prose if you did such a dastardly thing? Other artists get hung at least. One cannot help wondering whether any of them LIKE living alone for the bulk of the summer. You daren‘t ask. Why? Well, if he says he likes it he may only be trying to set his wife‘s mind at ease as to his welfare and ability to take care of himself. On the other hand, a certain type of wife would take umbrage at such an answer and wonder just what is so fascinating about his lonely stay in the city. â€" But I digress. We were going to give Stevie some advice. When I think of leaving a husband alone in a house for any length of time I invariably conjure up in my mind a picture somewhat like that room in Dickens‘ "Great Expectations" where Miss Havisham sat in all her dusty glory wearing the same dress for. was it 60 years? Anyway no one looked after her, or her dark, dank cheerâ€" less apartment except to bring her the odd tray of cold mutton and beer. Too, she never dusted the place and her only _companions were some speckledâ€"legged spiders, a few mice and some elderly blackbeetles. The point is, Stevie old boy, change your shirt once in awhile, sweep up the ants (or whatever) and run a duster through. This lad, if there are such as he, is soâ€"called freedom. If he really doesn‘t tied to them with cords of love, and rather than a comic figure. Just to clear up that word "hung" to any nonâ€"artists reading this I should tell you this. One day an artist friend of mine called me on the telephone to say she‘d almost got "hung". Her tone of voice was cheerful, and I thought she was taking it well. Commisâ€" erating with her, I told her so, expecting to hear details about how she got caught on someone‘s clothesline or something like that. No such thing. You know what? She meant that the Art Galiery almost accepted one of her paintings â€" to be "hung" in their galleries‘! There. Now we‘ll both know what is meant when one of those arty people tell us they‘re going to be "hung". And don‘t forget to wind the clocks. There‘s nothing more: cheerless to my mind than a clock which has stopped. That is,| unless for sentimental reasons you want to sort of "stop time in its flight" until you dear ones return? The aforementioned Miss Havisham, you remember, stopped all her clocks at 20 minutes to 9 â€" which was the time when she heard that there would be no bridegroom. He had flown the coop! A sad story. Yours‘ isn‘t of course. | I think the best advice is to eat a good dinner downtown at noon Steve ol‘ boy and then when you come home it can be snacks eaten | off and on during the evening. You know â€" things you like, .... ‘ potato chips, pickles, tea, bacon sandwiches. fried eggs, coffee. | peanuts, jellybeans, . . . . you know â€" what is known as "TV:‘ fodder". (If you run out of ideas. just watch the commercials‘) Put newspapers down on the kitchen floor to catch the peanut shells, bits of egg and flying glass. It also catches the dust. Papers are so friendly too. They talk to you. You won‘t be lonely while you have the news â€" even stale news â€" there so handy to read. And Steve ol‘ boy, don‘t decide to make those kitchen cupboards to surprise good ol‘ Jenny when she comes back Sure as heck you‘ll be invited out to dinner. to a movie, or some social activity every night in the week. I know. It happened to a lad I know. His dear wife almost went into shock when she had to clear away the mess of sawdust. shavings and whatnot as well as all the other "chores" left undone. Enjoy your holiday. Stevie. Lots of tired business men spend big money to go off somewhere to one of those ‘Retreats" where all is quiet, peaceful, and spiritâ€"building Relax . . . . . It does everybody good to be quiet once in awhile. You enjoy your own little "Retreat". It‘s yours and it‘s FREE! Of course there‘s the husband left alone who reveals in what he calls his "freedom". He‘s the guy all the comics and cartoons are about. They picture him making his way through a kitchen full of dirty dishes, pots and pans â€" usually just at the point where Me‘s run out of clean ones. He‘s the lad whose "freedom" covers not cutting the grass (the neighbours of one lad I know had a bet en â€" a sort of pool you know â€" with the "pot" going to the one who guessed the nearest to, or the date on which he would cut the grass. Mrs. D. was in Europe that year and was away so long he finally had to take a scythe to it‘) . . . . .He‘ll let the hedges go to pot too. These are jobs this type of lad normally loves to do, but, well, freedom is freedom, and let‘s "live it up" says he! - I‘m trying to imagine him turning the key and entering a house which has begun to look dusty and smell musty instead of the usual cool orderliness. Nostalgic thoughts must crowd in of the heavenly fragrance usually eminating from the kitchen, and Mother, the dog, the cat and the kids all lined up for a welcoming kiss (well, not the cat â€" she just rubs against his legs where he stands). Mother is usually all crisp and neat (with a little touch of eyeshadow as a concession to glamour) and the rest, well they‘ve washed the front of their hands, ditto their faces, and are ready to eat the proverbial horse. sez i:-s- Crossword Summer Bachelor COLD MUTTON AND BEER How‘s good ol‘ Steve going to make out when you and the small fry take off for the cottage for the summer? _ Or have you al ready left and good ol‘ Steve is reading this for a change? I‘ve been sitting here trying to think what it must be like to be a man â€" 1 mean a man left on his own for a couple of months in a big, silent house that‘s usually jumping with activity and good spirits. What on earth does he do with his evenings, Monday to Friâ€" day? (We know what he does with his days!) DO THEY LIKE anything but funny in his miss his family, he‘s not makes, rather, a pathetic, IT? with 17 calls.
