piece in the old school BOOKS,
or the old Sunday newspaper
~ supplements. amt just
sure which, anyways, mean
the one called. mo Mother Hay Guyed
Her" and what terrible things hap
pened to the poor girl?
Well, Of course, our Junior Is q boy
from tho chronic hole in the soles OF
his shoes to the place In his hair that
don't know when it's licked and just
naturally won't stay brushed down.
But just the same / and George, that's
my husband. has often flung each
other the remark that a boy had
ought to be watched the same as
girl. to keep them travelling the
straight and narrow path with as few
detours as possible, and that one best
way to do this is send them to a good
school and see that they actually go.
And, of course, the time when
person has to do most Of this is just
when they are all exhausted from
their vacation, and really need a little
deserved rest Meaning q rest you
need without deserving it Unless,
Of course. you are the exceptional
person who can take your vacation
or leave it alone
But anyways, while no truthful
parent can claim they look forward
to getting their kids ready for school,
there is one thing they sure dread
more. which Is to say. the kids not
being able to 60. For while it Is
delight to have the young ones with
US on their long vacation, II the little
loves was for some reason not able
to start school as soon as It opened.
why we would in desperation start
something ourselves-start for the
backwoods, 1 guess.
Well, anyways, around the first
week in September I put in a lot of
time getting Juniors costumes for
the fall season, meaning corduroy
ones which they will not be hurt by
a fall day in the school yard dirt.
And every annum 1 yearly contem-
plate will or will not try all the
department stores for a couple of
them old-fashioned suits of knitted
steel-ring underwear like the knights
of old used to wear to keep their
selves from getting hurt in battle and
probably they also wore one around
nome, il married, for the same reason.
I have an idea that IL I could only
locate some of them suits, boys size,
| why maybe Junior would get less
cuts and bruises at school then he
does now. Also, this kind Of under
wear would last longer at the knees
and elbows, and when he finally wore
| hole in them places, why instead
| Of sitting up nights darning them, I
would merely send for the plumber.
| ana say, Hi, there, or whatever his
| name was, please kindly got out the
| solder and fix these leaks.
Yes, them old antique chain-stitch
! armor B. v. DIS would go great
| for boys who are at school learning
| to fight and grow freckles and grow
| independent. etc.
| But guess that the only depart
| ment which carries them goods any
| more Is tho kitchen utensils dept.
| where on account Of modern warfare
requiring different methods, why
| these suits have probably all been
| cut up in little squares for cleaning
pots and pans, and the only old-f fash
ioned weapon or etc. they still carry
| in the original model Is the rolling
pin.
WELL anyways, another item I
| w would like to be able to get in
Juniors school wardrobe is a well
| thing about 1t he wouldn't possibly
be able to forget; style in checks.
maybe, SO loud that when he started
home without 1t, he'd hear the pattern
and go back for it.
AS was saying to Mrs Joe Bush
the other day, 1 do believe II all the
caps that boy Of mine has lost at
school was to be gathered together
they would cap every climax in the
| country.
And Mrs. Joe Bush come back at
me and says her Junior never leaves
q thing at school, he's not like some
peoples kids, and though to my
self yes / bet her boy don't leave
anything at school, not even q good
impression.
i Well anyways, I am not like that
