Party Husband Page #2

---

That you need a job just about

as much as I need roller-skates.

Guess who's dining with us tonight?

Kate Steinhart.

Yes. She's taken an apartment

in New York for the winter.

I ran across her shopping today.

Mother. Married life is glorious.

Yes, I will.

I'll write soon.

Goodbye, mother.

Mother called up to see

how I liked housekeeping.

I told her I was going to work.

But you don't need a job.

It gets lonesome without

anything to do all day.

Come on, help me set the table.

Give me.

So you are resolved to have

two careers in the family, eh?

No slaves to marriage around here.

What did you marry for?

You would be surprised.

Love.

I would stay home and work at that.

It's risky leaving love at

home to take care of itself.

You think so?

Well, let me tell you something.

Ours is husky.

Even so.

Uhoh.

Love can always use nourishment.

There is plenty of that.

Is there?

You at your office .. Jay at his?

You come home and Jay is not here.

He comes home, you're not here.

What do you do when you're jealous?

We're not that primitive.

That means that ..

Jay may run around with other women?

And you with other men?

Well, why not?

We won't exactly lose control, you know.

It's a good trick, if you can do it.

Oh rats.

You think marriage was made

perfect in the dark ages.

Well, Jay and I don't. That's all.

You try to make yourselves believe that

you are a pair of young sophisticates.

Some day you might find out.

Alright.

Here comes the old man now.

Tell him.

I'm through.

Hello, sweet.

How are you, darling?

Who do you think is here?

Who? Look.

Why, Kate.

Hello, Jay.

Good to see you.

Good to see you.

Down for long?

Most of the winter.

That's great. We'll see a lot of you.

I hope so.

Hmm .. do I hear the tinkle of ice?

Cocktails will be ready

when you've been washed.

Come on.

I'll be right back, Kate.

That girl is a scream.

She always was.

She's judging about us now.

What do you think she's been saying?

Never mind.

Miss me today?

Hmm.

A little.

Only a little?

A whole lot then.

I wish we were dining alone tonight.

But Jay you see, I just had to ..

Hello.

Oh, wait a minute.

Don't tear it. Let me do it.

Maybe it is symbolic.

There. No damage done.

You could catch a lot

of fish with that hook.

Well, I'm good bait.

You're telling me?

I bit.

I think I'll slip one now. I need it.

Yes ma'am, I needs it myself

when I got the miseries.

[ Laughter ]

Well .. here is luck.

Come in.

Hello Laura. Could you just hold on.

Just a moment, please.

Now Mrs Hogarth, what have we?

I've found two stories that might do.

Great.

By the way.

Do you mind if I call you Laura?

"Mrs Hogarth" is such a
