In her sublime ignorance, Josie
Belle considered all four-footed
cattle the same.
They had ham sandwiches and
some Of corned beef; no ginger ale
to give jazz to the party. Then the
girls wandered off with their re-
spective escorts: the children
played hide and go seek among the
bushes; the mothers talked all
things from diaries to mail order
catalogues, and poor Josie Belle
sat around discUnsolately, getting
grass stains on her best sport skirt,
until it was time to go home.

told her reflection In the mirror

call country atmosphere. then give

Sunday dawned, still, hot, sunny;

been painted and vanished; and
every time she moved, Josie Belle
heard distressing indications that

the back OF the seat.

out to the front porch once more,
consumed with loneliness, and
