WIVES WHO HAVE BEEN LEFT BY THEIR HUSTANDS FOR ANOTHER WOMAN: this was the theme of the “Mary Mudd Show” on the morning after Labor Day. Dr. Digby had invited Sue Heedon and Mildred into the TV lounge during lunch hour to watch several wives testify to the hurt and the pain a woman feels over a husband’s sudden preference for an alternative lifestyle.
“It’s something you gals should identify with,” Doctor had explained to his faithful receptionist and assistant. Sue Heedon nodded sadly and agreed that yes, the subject was certainly something she was an expert on, in fact if she’d have known they were looking for hurting women she’d have volunteered for the show, she certainly needed the money, hint hint. Mildred hesitated, however. As she pointed out to the good doctor, she wasn’t really sure she qualified because it wasn’t clear that there was really another woman involved and it also wasn’t clear whether her husband had left her or it was the other way around. But Doctor smiled and patted her on the back and reminded her that for all practical purposes it amounted to the same thing.
