Who remembers way back last
winter when it was cold enough to
just keep on hugging!
Germany evidently wants to wait
until the war is over before she
pays for the thing.
Hunt the bright things. Even
cantaloupes have their good points.
They never squirt in your eyes.
When two famous people marry
the paper always tells you whose
former mates they were.
If you buy your Christmas pres
cnts from a mail order house, it is
time you ordered them.
Eating watermelon is a simple
and harmless way to learn to dive.
Clothes will last much longer if
you watch your company pack.
Take your razor camping or
some may mistake you for a brush
pile and burn you.
An optimist is a man who takes
his overcoat to a summer resort.
Vacationists writing ne sleeps un-
der blankets may have them on the
