THANKING US
Sir,-I wish to take this opportunity of congratulating you on the excellence of your publication, which I thoroughly enjoy. Also, you are very fortunate in having the services of such an artist as Russell Clark. Then, I particularly look forward to your editorial and "Letters from Listeners." I get a lot of fun out of the latter. And, of course, information as well, even if at times they are somewhat beyond me (as when they get onto highbrow stuff like Persian or Greek cultures). Although Mrs. Mary Scott’s Episcopalian dyspeptic would hardly come under the category of, say,
ecclesiastical humour, I am reminded of the following true story: One of my uncles, a clergyman, when visiting among some of his parishioners in the south of Ireland, called on an elderly couple. In the course of conversation the old chap said: " You know, sir, Mary and me have been married for over fifty years and we never had a cross word." " Well, well, John," mv uncle replied. "what a tame affair it must have
been. "
