Bound to Stay in Place
CLEMENTINE thought at one time that there could be no solution to her problem. She was troubled almost nightly with a rush of father to the drawing room.
Just when the Class A boy-friend began twisting things in his hands and choking over his words in the most encouraging manner.
Just as that would happen, father would come in. Brightly. In a chatty frame of mind. He liked the young man. So did she. But she could never bring him down as long as this kept up.
First she tried persuasion. But to no avail.
Then she tried force. She socked papa on the jaw, .got out the clothes line and lashed him to the kitchen chair. She lit his pipe when he came to, and asked him to whistle when he needed another match. Then she went back to the parlor and got to work.
But this was only temporarily successful. Father took bo.xing lessons, and it became increasingly difficult to lay him out. Besides, it tired her.
Things looked desperate. Then chance showed her the way out. She caught him one day reading her copy of MOTION PICTURE CLASSIC. He was absorbed in a dissection of Greta Garbo's soul, entranced by the technicalities of Clara Bow's negligees.
How things have changed since then! Now, when father intrudes, she has only to say: "I tell you I mean it." He understands. He knows that if he sticks around she won't let him read her Classic. He cringes — and leaves. Then quietly — for she always plays fair — she gives him the magazine and instructions not to stir from his room for two hours.
Clementine is engaged now, of course. All she needed was elbow room. And^er advice to girls with conversational fathers is: Feed them Classic regularly, and they're bound to stay still until they finish it.
The time to start the treatment, too, is now. Get your copy today — and reserve one of next month's at the same time. CLASSIC comes out the 12th of every month. If you want father to keep clear, keep the 12th in mind.
