It's June baby the month of moon A''S spoon tune and croon not to men tion honeymoon which means it is the month of brides More brides occur in June than in any other month possibly because they're out of school and don't have anything else to do perhaps because their intended breadwinners have grad uated and are thus ready to take on debt yard work 2 o'clock feedings and other benefits of married bliss Of course some of our young people these days are taking honey moons without bothering about wedding preliminaries This does not sit well with florists wedding gown salesmen makers of domestic cham pagne and agencies that rent shiny tuxedos It seldom sits well with mothers who are thus deprived of a chance to get a new dress and cry or even with fathers who ought to be glad to avoid the bills but aren't Not that a free lance honeymoon is necessarily cheap It often leads to marriage with the inevitable wed ding and a formal if second honey moon as many a married man can attest It is thus doubly expensive Indeed there are those who say that nothing is more expensive than free love June is also the month for June bugs Actually I don't know whether they still have June bugs They did when I was a boy They were pretty and green and like June brides easy to catch Unlike June brides they were easy to get rid of just open your hand and off they buzzed to a flower or something And unlike June brides they were harmless They did not cry get terrible head aches or ask for credit cards The trick with a June bug was to tie a string to its leg and let it fly around reeling it back in when you wanted to show it off This is not so easy to do with a June bride They tend to get a string on you and reel you back in after they've let you fly around a little And June bugs tend to fade BBBb XX Wwttu 1 fEbfX I I.
