IA took ma & me oaver to a lake
Yesterday ware thare IS lot OF
4 CITY boarders. Ma had a Trend
oaver thare that used to call on US
wen we lived in the city & ma wanted

The naim of mas friend was Missus
Mace. Her husband is a blzness man
in the city & every summer ne SENDS ENDS
his wife up to that lake so he can nave
n few weeks rest, & a good time with
the other men.
How do YOU like it up here, pa asked
Missus Mace.
Oh. 1 think it is dredfully poky, sed
Nissus Mace. Thare is so few men
around. Look at them old cats setting
on the veranda & talking about peepul,
she sed. l bet every one OF them has
ripped all of US up the back beetoar
now. If my husband cud afford 1t, L
wud go to sum place ware thare Is moar
class.
They all look pritty good to me, sed
pa Who are those two peaches setting
on the end of the veTandy?
They are two yung married wimmen,
sed Missus Mace, & the way thay have
been flirting at the littel hops we have
here is sumthing terribul Last mite
thay went out IN party OF yung pee
pull & thare husbands wasent along. The
party dident git back till neerly mid
mite.
Well. sed pa. what of it? I suppose
thare husbands sent them up here to
enjoy themselfs with the yung peepul.
I wUd deerlv Iuv to have been in that
party myself, sed pa.
[ dOant think You missed much, d
they are all the time talking about
what deers thaTe husbands is, too, sed
Missus Mace. Wen I hear a yung mar
ried woman talking so much about her
good husband in the city, l always
think thay are putting on a lot, & last
mite one of them kissed her husbands
letter about 20 times wen she got it at
the postoffice.
What If she did? sed pa. I think that
was vary sweet of her. You see, pa
sed to Missus Mace, she is yung & dee
voted to her husband & he is devoted
to her. l suppose if they was middle
aged, like you & friend wife here, thay
wud kiss the money order insted of the
letter. That is the kind of letters you
winner like, pa sed. the kind that wen
you open them sumthing blue pops out.
Nothing of the kind, sed ma and Mis-
sus Mace at Onst. We are always glad
to git letters from our husbands wether
thare is mummy in the letters or not.
Well, sed pa, you cud talk all day
ABOUT those two yung matrOns q you
cuddent maik me believe thare was a
rong thing about eether one of them.
Why, sed pa, that brunei one has a
face ike a angel 1 shud like to meet
them, pa sed.
Not so fast, sed ma Doant git So
enthused al of a sudden. Ny friend
Missus Mace has been here longer than
we have and she ought to know if the
yung ladies she menshuns are fit com
pany for us.
1 like to pick my own cumpany, sed
pa, & eeven if 1 thought I was Citing
simpel minded enuff to have sumbody
pick my cumpany, 1 wouldn't choose a
old knocker like yure fried Missus Mace
to pick my friends for me.
You are not a gentleman, said Missus
Mace
I know it, sed pa, I am a plain old
rough neck witch was all his life so
busy trying to see good in everybody
that he didn't have time to leTn to be
yure kind of a gentleman. I believe
viii git sumbody to interduce me to
them two yung matrons. How about it,
wife? sed pa. How about meeting the
summer girls?
All rite. sed ma, sum other summer.
