DONALD LOWRIE'S STORY Back in ?
FOX
GRANDPA

DOBBY had been in swimming
ID and was drying off in the
sun on the sandy shore of the
little island off the coast of
Central America to which we had
gone over in a motorboat.
"Now," said Bobby, when he
was all dry and dressed, 'if I
only had my fishing tackle I
could have some more fun. I'll
bet could catch a lot of fish in
that water"
''Too bad you didn't think to
bring it along, Bobby. I'p sur
prised you forgot it," I laughed.
AS we sat there, trying to make
up our minds what to do next,
our minds were made up for us.
Back in the trees behind us we
suddenly heard a great chatter
ing and then scurrying and
soon out of the woods came
trooping about fifteen monkeys!
There was an old fellow at the
head of the parade. He was lead
ing them and he was leading
them straight for the ocean.
They're not going to SWIM
said Bobby. They're standing
still. Whatever are they doing?"
First one reached down in the
water. Then another did the
same thing. Finally they were
all grabbing at something in the
water.
Then we saw one of the big
monkeys walk out of the water.
His hand was raised to his
mouth. He was eating some
thing.
"A fish, cried Bobby. That
monkey is eating fish,
Certainly" said Bunny. "They
love them. Watch the others
Those monkeys were fishing
for their supper and when they
had eaten all they wanted they
came out of the water, shook
themselves and scampered back
into the woods.
Must be great to be able to
catch fish with your bare hands,
gasped Bobby, looking at his own
little chubby ones.

If you quarrel now, you would be
still more likely to quarrel after
marriage, and nothing is more
wretched than discordant home.
So give yourself every chance
to like the young man who now
interests you. Do not become en-
gagged to him, however, until you
are sure you love him. And do
not give up going about with
other young men friends until you
become engaged.

ond only to the Atwater Kent
hour. This marked the initial
concert by the WEAF Opera Com
pany and if these concerts con-
tinue on the high plane or last
nights performance we may look
forward to real treat each
Monday night.
The opera hour opened and
closed with overtures by the or
chestra both well known and pop
ular. The opening one from
"Oberon''. and the closing Die
Meistersinger."
If one number could be called
better than another the nlgn
lights of the hour were Giuseppe
de Benedetto's Celeste Aida,
and the duet Farewell to Paris,
from "Traviata."
The two solos from 'Faust"
were also excellent ana Nlno
Ruisi sang the bass solo "Calum-
MIA" from THE Barber of Sc
vile" with great expression:-
The duet from Fora del Des-
tino" was good, but the sextette
from Lucia" did not seem ar
ranged we'll about the microphone.
The entire hour, however, was
most entertaining and enjoyable
and we feel that WCAP is most
fortunate in being linked with
New York for this splendid fea-
ture.
Last night also marked the
initial community concert by our
own Bob Lawrence and 1t went
over we'll The opening numbers
were under the auspices of the
Army Music School and included
such unusual features as q
trumpet quartet, clarinet solo and
brass quartet The flute solos
were good, especially the "Valse
Caprice. .
Bob Lawrence himself sang
two solos and his genial per-
sonality and announcing added
to the enjoyment of the hour.
Another of the weekly features,
the A and P Gypsies, were put
on last night in their usual good
style. Somehow there is a fascina-
ton in their program that holds
the listener throughout the enter
Lalnn0nL. Their Dce1utAAuA
ton of selections from Victor
Herbert's Mile. Modiste" was
especially enjoyable.
The early part of the evening
was filled with a dance program
by the Greenwich Village Or
chestra, a newcomer on the air,
followed by a surprise in the
form of a short pianologue by
Gillian.
Les Colvin gave a short pro-
gram of popular piano selections
opening with at Must Be Love,
the popular hit from Mary,

There was the usual market

TN the firm belief that good

housewives best friends we feel
that some attention is due It.

height for working? II you stoop

the edge OF the dish pan, it Is
not the sinks fault II you have
an aching back and arms at the
end Of a days work.
Is there a convenient row Of
brushes hanging in a neat row
over the sink. both for cleaning
the sink itself, as well as the
vegetables and sticky pans?
Most important Of all, are you
taking care to preserve that
smooth, hard, shiny surface Of
the sink so that It may remain a
"joy forever" Regular brushing
with any OF the soap flakes or
powders will keep CRIME and
stain away and it will not be
necessary to scour it with harsh
abrasive powders, which will
ruin its hard surface and leave
1t perpetually griIny.
Have you seen the new two
way faucets, which give you both
hot and cold water mixed and
swing out of the way Of dish pan
and fragile china when dish
washing is going on! Perhaps
you owe your sink one of these
as reward of faithful service
well performed.

could be for a man and woman
who loved each other-and for
the little children they would
have.
