.bont these pinhcads going off to Florida
anu California and such fool places. when
there's weather like this. and plenty of 1t,
right here in little old Washington he
said to Mrs. JobSon. "Grcatest climate on
earth right here in the District of Column
bia. What anybody with the brains OF a
chip1nunk ever wants TO go away from
this climate for. just to dodge the ell
mate, l mean. is more than l can figure
out"
But vcnturcd Mrs. Jobscn-unadvf5ed-
ly, as she afterward retiected-"we go
away during the hot months, don't we"
Mir. JCbson cracked his newspaper and
snortcd.
II might have expected a comeback or
that kind from you. Mrs. Jobson.' he
growled. W go away during the hot
months, don't we? Wei. you might just
as we'll begin expressing that in the past
tense from now on. We have gone away
during what you call the hot months for
a good many years past. just as We've
done Il whole lot of other crazy unneces-
sary things, but We're not going TO do it
any more. We're going to stay right here
in Washington and enjoy ourselves the
year round"
But" said Mrs. Jobson. still failing to
show her accustomed wisdom, 1T is-er
well, it is hot here sometimes, isn't it,
my dcar?"
Hot" snapped Mr.. Jcbson. "Wil you
be good enough to name mc any place in
the world that you've visited where 1t
isn't hot when the natural season for heat
comes around?"
But put IN Mrs. Johscn. rather noun
