to spend a lot of time together, especially the first year," Herb says. "How could I do it?" So now he's a Sunday Romeo. When he has a date it begins at midnight, after the Saturday night performance, and they make the rounds of Hungarian cafes where Herb has made many friends among the gypsies. Sunday morning he gets up early and drives out to the yacht basins looking for a boat. He's hoping to save enough money to buy one for the sumnner. "It's different from getting married," Herb drawls. "Maybe a man will look over twenty girls before he gets hitched up but when he picks out a boat, he looks at a couple hundred. "Trouble is though, longer you're single, more difficult it is to get married," Herb will tell you. "Like jumping ofE a high bridge. Longer you look down, harder it gets to jump off." HERB doesn't think he's so demanding in the virtues he expected to find in a wife. She should be a good homemaker and be able to cook Hungarian goulash and, of course, Swiss steak. On the mental side, she should have broad interests. He'd like her to be pretty. "Beautiful women are pace-killing," he said. "They have a cynical attitude because of the men they have accumulated and they demand a lot of fuss." Even though he prefers petite women, he wants his girl slightly rugged, hardy enough to rig a sail. And she shouldn't be finicky about putting on coveralls and taking apart an engine with him. She would be between twenty and twenty-five. Older women, he thinks, have their own routine and are as stubborn as old bachelors. "And she should have a lot of imagination," he concludes. He figures a woman with imagination would be better able to accept his ideas, impulses and hobbies. Herb's hobby is collecting gadgets, cameras, ship models, automobiles, characters and other hobbies. He has shelves and boxes full of complicated mechanical contraptions. "Now supposing my wife needed a new refrigerator," Herb asks, "how would she react if I spent our money on a four-wheeled harmonica?" He cites the land cruiser he bought when he's already garaging two Cords, an all-aluminum Yugoslavian Tatra and a custom-bmlt Packard which was the showpiece in the Paris Auto Show. In his pocket, he usually carries catalogues of new foreign cars which are for sale in New York show rooms. "Is there a woman who would put up with that kind of goofiness?" he asks. Actually, a lot of women would like to, for Herb is a sensitive, intelligent young man with real talent for humor as distinguished from the glib wisecrack. But the woman who cares for Herb would find her real competition with the picture he carries in his wallet. It's a snapshot of the small schooner he hopes to buy. This summer he plans to take a two-month cruise out of New York, south through the Panama Canal, then up to California. "I'll probably find the ideal woman, marry her and then when she gets aboard my ship, she'll get seasick," he gloomily predicts. But if you know a girl who doesn't mind crawling under a motor, cooking goulash, seeing her husband maybe two hours a day, and prefers bright talk to bright lights, tell her about Herb. She might even be in time to make this summer's cruise.
