Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-08-08

my dear, and I thought they were
the uncanniest creatures I had ever
seen. 1 am not enough Of a natural
list to know how common a little
trick that is among the fish of the
sea, but [ don't wonder you felt par
dlyzed. Aren't they called Jew-fsh?
That's the name / remember. You
girls who haven't seen them have a
treat in store.
And here's Jeritza. All ready
nowl
"A cheer for our host!
We're glad not to roast
Today in our swelt'ring Amboy!
We are sailing the main
Cool as grass in the raini
Here's a cheer to give voice to our
joy!
A cheer for the captain!
Cts not enough noise,
But then, we're not boysi)
A cheer for the crew!
(For though they are few,
They're staunch men and true.)
A cheer for our Five-Fifteen.
May We all meet again,
We don't care when,-
The mem'ry of today we'll keep
green!'
And now that we are back at the
dock, about to be landed, we are all
thinking it has been a day whose
memory we shall certainly keep
green!
MARY G.
Dear Mary G..
l am SO busy now I have hardly
any time to breathe. l am packing
my grip and getting ready to go to
the seashore. But l feel 1 must tell
you what happened yesterday.
My girl friends and 1 have organ
lied a club called Busy Bee Folks"
Not long ago we were having a meet
ing when a girl stepped in and, ad-
dressing our president, asked If she
could be in our club. At first the
girls thought this rather rude. But
anyhow we liked her appearance,
SO admitted her in the club. The
new girls name Is Shirley. She Is
paying her dues regularly, and she
made what l call a hit with the
girls. She is such a jolly little thing
that we already call her Joy"
Yesterday we were having a base
ball game in my yard, and Shirley.
or rather Joy, was pitcher. While
Dorothy was batter, Shirley pitched
a rather swift ball which hit
Dorothy direct in her right eye.
When poor Dorothy's pain was over
- - IaNIa-o1 she hauun m
blame Shirley for the trouble. But
here l "butted in" and said that
Dorothy should have batted the ball
or ducked at least to protect her
self.
When Dorothy heard this she re-
signed from the club, and hasn't
spoken to me since. Dear Mary G.,
as you always give the girls advices
in their troubles, please tell me II l
did right or wrong. This is bearing
on my mind so l can hardly wait
for your answer.
Goodbye for a while,
GUSSIE.
It's unfortunate all around, isn't
it, Gussie? The batter should lave
worn a mask, and the pitcher
shouldn't have pitched too high a
ball, and it would have been more
tactful if you hadn't expressed
| yourself SO freely to the girl who
| had been hurt, and whose feelings
at the time were consequently pretty
sensitive. 1t would have been better
too, wouldn't it, If Shirley had shown
a good deal OF genuine regret and
concern at her hurting a players
eye, and il the rest of the team
hadn't been inclined to fix the blame
on anyone OF course, it was too
bad for Dorothy to resign from the
club right then and there, but prob
abb; any one Of you would nave
done the same thing under the same
circumstances. 1t is difficult for
the average person to be magnanl-
NOUS when he has been banged IN
the eye. Perhaps you would enjoy
ycur vacation more if you went to
see Dorothy and told her how sorry
you were to have spoken so hastily
when she was suffering. It's usually
worth while to try to straighten u
misunderstanding before they
wreck clubs AMI friendships and
general good times. If they can't
be Strengthened out, you will have
to go from where you left off, and
make the best Of it.
