VOUNG Eleanor has, like most human
L beings of her very slight age, an in
satiable appetite for information. She
asks questions all the time and some of
them have sense and some of them
haven't. Her brother Jack, who is just
old enough to wear long trousers, and boss
her around, feels superior about things
fhat he has her trained. and now, when
she asks a question and Daddy doesn't
answer it, but just gives her a certain
look, she says quickly, THAT was a foolish
question, wasn't it, Daddy?"
The other day. she wanted to know
something or other, and Jack, for the
I fourth of fifth time in an hour remarked
the silliest question he ever heard Daddy,
who might have been seen registering on
September ~, decided that the time had
come to call halt. "Oh, l don't know,
Jack" he remarked THAT wasn't half so
silly as your asking me whether was in
the Civil war!" NANCY wYNNE.
