"Uncle Sam's-if it's no more than

happily.

commented. "But now 1 think of 1t,

it to Aunt Bah. Nan can take a

on. Think I'll start to California
Soon."
"On a wedding trip?" Vivian asked,
trying to speak lightly. Archy caught
something in her voice that made him

to think of it, that would be nice
not to say economical. I'm due there,

half through proposing"
Don't you dare tell Joe-George

was hidden. Nor Mrs. Francis" Aunt
Bah supplemented. Anna had pity

"Still and all-your zero brother

chanted, running after them. Impera'

deepest voice: "Adorn me, women

"Now you behave" Aunt Bah said
severely, coming to them sadly out OF
breath.

their opinions, fools never" Emer-
son has written:
with consistency great soul has
simply nothing to do. He may as
well concern himself with his shadow
on the wall. Speak what you think
now, and tomorrow again speak what
tomorrow thinks, though it contradict
everything you said today. All; so
you shall be misunderstood Is it so
