By GABBY DETAYLS. “My wife won't let me!’’ This restraining sentiment whs 4 popular little ditty about a decade ago. When a man excuses himself with these words one usually he lieves, and sometimes pities him, for by long experience we know the male of the species hardly makes surh a bumble confession unless It is literal ly so. But how do we feel about it when a woman says, “I have talked It over with my husband and he thinks we'd better not come.” Or, "I would like to Join your club but my hus band thinks I'd better not."
