FISHING MY BEARS!

own. Either 1t is deliciously delight
full or 1t is dolefully dull. In order
to be enjoyable there must be a good
story-teller in the party. The Lady
and her Daughter had all this in mind
when they selected their party. 1t was
therefore quite disconcerting when the
car stopped in front of this young
lady's grandparents door, to have her
appear on the balcony, with her front
hair done in balls and her back hair
in plaits. Of course balls and plaits
are all right but add to them fearful
eyes and a general detected appear
ance, in young lady who has received
an invitation to Saturday Afternoons
outing in the country and you know
without asking that someone higher
up has said moi"
OF course its no more than right that
grandparents should demand that their
granddaughters be useful as we'll as
ornamental, however, who could be ex-
pected to be cheerful, over the pros
pect of missing fishing party, for the
sole purpose Of spending the afternoon
with an electric iron. From time i'm
memorial however, people have realiz-
ed that it is the very best thing and
ripping good form to have a friend
with influence, Every one heaved a
sigh of relief when the Uncle got out
of the car and went in to see the grand
parents. He stayed so long that
the daughter got out and went in also.
Those of us left in the car were just
about thinking Of going after them,
when out. they came. The balls and
plaits of the young lady in discussion
had given place to a charming ar
rangement and she wore a smile that
would not come off in a addition to a
coat of high brown powder which she
had not taken the time to rub in.
The addition of the storytelling
young lady brought the party up to
seven and one half member. A Cadillac
Eight is seven passenger car. 1t
took about three minutes to stow the
half member away on pillow direct
ly over the biggest lunch basket and
we were off!
AS we sped along across the river,
country, we felt like singing, 81 don't
know where I'm going, but I am on
my way" We did not sing however
because we could not remember the
tune? Tune is absolutely necessary
if you are going to sing. Our first
thrill came when we reached creek
which the road instead of bridging, led
int hn of ho
wheel however, remembering that, he
who hesitates is lost, unles sthe hesita-
ton is done according to form, on a
waXed floor, plunged right in and we
were over and breathing freely again,
in jiffy.
The four girls in the party told
tales, leased and grew reminiscent
The two women listened while the
man at the wheel paid strict attention
to driving. We don't remember that
the half member had a word to say.
If he was paying any attention to the
conversation, after the manner of all
small boys, he did not show a sign of
listening. We passed house in which
the Daughter declared there were four
beds in a room. We attempted to ex-
plain how they managed it and i'm
mediately found ourselves floundering
in deep water.
Arrived at our destination. the car
was parked in a convenient place and
we cut across the meadows to the fish
ing hole. We decided to eat lunch first,
Hungry fishermen and hungry fish are
not a good combination. The table was
spread and from the very first it was
evident that the hostess had no inten-
ton of relying on the fish we caught to
keep away hunger. Then too, with a
sufficient amount of fried chicken,
salad, egg custard, stuffed eggs, bread,
pickles, sandwiches and cOnfectionaries
on the inside of ones stomach, ones
patience is strengthened and whether
the fish bite or refuse to bite there is
cheerful resignation.
While dinner was being spread, the
half member Of the party disappeared
and eventually came to light clothed in
decided negligee. Five minutes later
he had waded into the creek and got
ten this scant negligee wet. A few
minutes afterwards in company with
two youths who lived in the neighbor-
hood he had the honor of catching
the first fish, a sucker about eight
inches long.
There were thousands Of fish in that
fishing hole about four inches long
and hundreds about eight inches long.
In the sunlight the silver perch shone
like Jewels in the clear water. The
shallowness Of the water on the lodges
lead the Daughter and her Guest to
