ass aus The Mad Hatters The Hatters! What a family! Mad as March hares! Crazy as loons! Dippier than the Big Dipper! And nuttier than a fruit cake! In fact, they are all nuts! Margaret Hatter, the mother, is nuts about drarnatics. Joe Hatter, the father, is nuts about fish- ing. Gigi, their daughter, is nuts about athletics. Bunny, their son, is nuts about photography and Angelica, the housekeeper, is just plain nuts. ' Grandma Hatter supported them for years and suddenly decides it's time to quit. She gave them all three months to prove they can make their own living. And from then on, things happen fast when they decide to commercialize their hobbies. At the end of the three months all failed but Joe, who brings home the bacon. Backtwoods Romeo Can you imagine a young man, over twenty-one, who has never seen or talked to a girl? Well, Romeo Montague was in that predicament. His parents died when he was a child and his uncle, a scientist, took him into the wilds of Canada, where he reared and educated the boy. Larry McNeil and Rex Simonds, two Americans, ran across Romeo and asked him to visit them in the States. Romeo arrived at the McNeil estab- lishment, by airplane, still unacquainted with women. But, in this household were Larry's sisters, two young ladies who were anything but shrinking violets. There also were the Spanish maid, La Reina, and Orpha, Larry's fiancee, to say nothing of young and vivacious Aunt Rachel. Romeo was young, handsome, and unspoiled, and all the women fell for him and how! Larry and his inheritance problem - Rex and his smashed auto - all these problems piled together kept the McNeil home in an uproar, but Romeo adjusted them. ff If' f 45 v Cl DI 'Q 1? F it v -4Q..
