IT HE bells were ringing when
woke up this morning and | laid
and hung onto Rowdy's ear quite
q while and listened to them. and thcr
| went and stood by our front window
and looked out and after awhile I
woman and two girls and a boy W -
past all dressed up and they each car
ried a bible, and then | knew II mus
be Sunday or they were all mistaken
1t Is certainly funny the way Sunda,
sneeks up on person during vacation
| did not 4 think Sunday would b,
around for about a week yet and her,
! woke up right slap dab In the middl,
OF it Sunday is just like all he Other
days for my own true daddy becaus,
he watches nights and there 10 a Sun
day night Just the same as any other
kind OF a night. / suppose that Is how
IT happened thst 1t got to me and
Rowdy almost before we knew Il was
on the way.
] always put on a few clean clothes
on Sunday, where they will show the
most and when ! had got that don. and
had got my fathers breakfast and he
had eaten and gone to bed and | had
done all the work because a little girl
ought to wash the dishes even II il is
Sunday, me and Rowdy went out and
took a look at the world. The world
was good to look at this morning.
THE trees were as damp as II they
had been washed and everything
was as bright green as il could be ex-
cept the sky and some parts OF the
ground where there was not any grass.
and some of the houses OF cou's Sc. |
never heard anyone say that God Is
Irish, but it is God that mak,s the trees
and the world all green and | don't
think He would do that II He was any
thing but old fashioned Irish. II | 4
il TO do | would make wood and c
ground green, but ! think I would make
the sky the. same color He made Il, only
| would have green cloud every once
in a while, | don't suppose He ever
lets sngels\ monkey with the wor d.
hut If He ever does and He lets me
when | get to heaven. | bet the pee :
in the world will be surprised when
they wake up some morning. and maybe
| will get Scolded, but maybe a green
world will look so pretty that He |
stroke my wings and tell me thank you.
You never can tell. | wouldn't be sur
prised.
Me and Rowdy went long ways and
then when we came to where two streets
cross we stopped in the middle Of them
and took long look in each direction.
and picked out the direction thai looked
he greenest and went thst way. II
looked as if the world went down some
where long way off, and then a whole
lot farther off II begar 10 come up
again, and when IL came up il was
covered with trees and a big white
house was right in among them, and me
and Rowdy thought that would be 4
good direction to 60 in. and at first we
met lots OF boys and girls all going
in every direction and all of them
dHssed up. Those that lived near one
church would 60 long ways of TO 60
TO another church and those that liv .1
long ways off by another chur n
would be coming so as to go TO the
church that the people that liv.d next
door 10 II did not want TO go to. II a
person was TO go out Of her house ami
into the church right next door there
would not many people get a look at
her Sunday clothes, and il would be all
right with me II only God saw my
Sunday clothes but most people are
not like me.
WE can't all be Irish, and that is q
w good thing iof the Germans be-
cause il everybody was Irish the Ger
