the only thing which could possibly
cause him to remove some of the
surplus Mother Earth from his ears
and neck is a passing interest in few
members of the feminine gender in
the early teens. The boy has sister,
who is at the age when she is begin
ming to appreciate the finer things"
of life, such as artistic hangings, etc,
and who does not approve of the color
of neckties which her brother wears.
| The other evening as the two were
ready to leave the house for a school
party, sister objected to the loud tie
which brother wore and he retaliated
by shouting as he banged the front
door, well, if you don't like my red
| tie and it's so loud as all that, then
buy me a muffler for Christmas.
