GOING
AWAY

! woman WHO WAS JuSN
for Michigan for the summer. fes' i
is kind of you to wish me pleasan
trim If II isn't pleasant, at ieast u
will be interesting, | am sure.
an fact, | am quite looking forward
IN the moment of my departure De
cause am so curious to Know Jus'
what ! shall take along. You know
when | travel always yearn to starr
away looking like the girls In tne
railroad advertisements. They are IN
yarlably attired in the freshest oil
tailor suits. Each carries one atten'
uated. natty suitcase and a tightly
rolled umbrella built on lead pencii
lines. and displays a pleasant, care
free smile They all appear to have
successfully packed everything they
own in trunks that have gone on ahead.
II rests me to look at them.
Somehow, though. no matter now
hard try to reach the ideal OF rail-
road girl In picture. something In
variably interferes.
"One year somebody brought me
dozen jars Of jelly at the last minute
These | had to carry along with the
umbrella. Then my cousin added a
paper package containing the rubber
overshoes which she had worn away
last year by mistake and which be-
longed to the cottager next door. she
said Il would relieve her conscience II
would take them along. So did.
dropped them overheard just as soon
as got on the boat, however Her
conscience never knew the difference
and 1t was lots nicer for me.
This year It is going to be even
worse. 1t started with the bulldog.
Dick Patterson owns the dog. He said
some friends of his had It and also
had little baby, and couldn't man.
age both, so they let him take his
choice He decided after some thought
he'd take the bulldog, because he
could keep 1t at the stable with his
riding horse, and he couldn't dispose
of baby that way, although he real
ly regretted the baby, because he said
It was very nice one.
THE dog Is white. meek-eyed
creature and so affectionate that he
weeps If you raise an eyebrow at him.
He looks as though butter wouldn't
melt In his mouth, yet one day when
had him out he jumped on an inno-
cent fox terrier that was attending
strictly to It's own affairs and licked
the daylights out of It in disinter-
ested sort of way. quit hauling him
around by his collar right then and
there!
When in TESTING moment | sug-
gested that Dick board the dog this
summer at my house he jumped at the
Idea because 1t seems he is going
away and there was nobody to leave
the dog with. So I've got the bulldog
to lead on chain In one hand. No
doubt shall spend my summer alter
mating between the rural police court
and the jail, because the bulldog will
chew up all the other resorters' Off
spring, cats and poodles. | asked Dick
what on earth I'd do II there was an
awful dog fight because OF the bull
dog. He replied that | must 20 into
the house and close the windows so
that the noise would not disturb me
and then let the best dog win. I am
almost certain that I shall not have a
duh summer.
Then just last night John Gordon
and | went out to one of the newly
opened amusement parks and we
came to booth where people were
buying ten-cent chances on birds
There was everything from sea-greep
parrots down to darling little gray
birds with red threats. John bought
couple of chances. Just as was
explaining what kind of cage | should

going to win the man called ont nv
