ANDREW AND IMOGENE
BY ROE FULKERSON.

Imogene turned a stock Of summer resort
booklets over in her lap and sighed deeply
Sunnyside was the place she wanted to go
and she looked longingly at the booklet from
that place and then she suddenly set her
jaw and with CLINT in her eye she went into
the library where Andrew sat reading.
"The annual row." announced INNOCENCE
laying the stack of n~~---eCs at his elbow.
'Now, Andrew, I want you to be reason
able" She opened a book with a gaudy
hotel on the front page. Beside it was sea-
shore and board walk. "Now, look here"
said Imogene 81 do not see why we could not
go up to this place. We can get board and
room on the boardwalk for the two of us
for 800 week and the book says =:
What do I care what the book says"
growled Andrew. 81 would not pay O100
week to live up in the tower of Babel and
have old man Babel himself wait on the
table,
"Then look at this place up in the noun
tains," said Imogene. '1t is high and dry
and they will let us come for SIS week.
They say there is good trout fishing
and :"
Listen to me-" again interrupted Andrew.
do you think trout has wings? Did you
ever see a trout with an alpenstock and
green feather in it's hat climbing a noun

baseball park. and a trout could not get up
there unless some guy carried him in
bucket"
Imogene picked up the Sunnyside booklet
81 suppose you want to go to some cheap
John place like this"
"Why, what's the matter with this placer"
replied Andrew, looking over the booklet.
"They only charge $35 week for one in
room and $50 each for two.
And look here, they have good bathing,

farm and raise their own chickens, butter
and milk, and it looks like a bang-up place
to me-
81 bet no fashionable people go there"
sneered his wife. 'They never do go to those
cheap places"
"Who wants to go some place on va

three times a day?" asked Andrew. when
I go away in the summer I go to rest and I

toes. I want real vacation.
"Now, listen, honey" he wheed1ed. please
be nice. Let's go to this place for couple
of weeks and have a real old-fashioned va
cation and good time. We can get away
from everybody we know and just have 4

not have to be nice to any one except each
other and I think it would be fine. Please
