Description

Excerpt from The Gentle Art of Columning: A Treatise on Comic Journalism

But sentiment aside, the diaper pin really is a dangerous thing. One of the things that always fills me with profound discouragement, when I hear the human race boast of its progress, is the fact that during all these thousands of years of recorded history, no substitute has been found for the diaper pin. Women have gone on using them and being afraid of them. But now, since women have taken to the cigarette, and men must handle the diaper pins, there is hope. Say what you will, the male sex is the inventive sex. The emancipa tion of women from domestic duty, their entrance into the larger world of affairs, with the consequent ?inging of millions of men into the household breach, is cause for Optimism: housework will eventually be put upon a workable basis.

But to return to the present Preface. It has been intimated to me that I have been Chosen to write a Preface to the book which follows because I am a humorist.
