Look at Ethylyn-how she's wasted
her life. And now you want Rob-
bic to spoil his the same way
Pa has about million bright an
swers for this, but being full OF
years and experience he keeps
them to himself. And. Ma sits
down to ask him to write some
thing that will make Pa under
stand geniuses. Me, being a writer
ought to do the subject proud.
Will I write something about
geniuses? Lead me to it, Ma. My
business is all gummed up with
geniuses eating ham and eggs
that some one else pays for. And
although I know it will jolt you
severely, I'm going to tell you
straight that I wouldn't give two
bucks a dozen fOr that kind of a
genius, even in wholesale lots.
The only talent which is worth
the name is based on the knowl-
edge of life. And life means
sweat. Life means enduring
monotony and grinning over dis
comforts and being a Good Egg
when you hold bum hand.
Life means understanding the
other fellows dreams and needs
because you've had such dreams
and needs yourself. Life means
a sympathy that isn't merely
fizz and a pride that isn't merely
poise.
You can't learn these things
about life out of books, or dream
them over ham and eggs. You've
got to get out and get under,
like any other human.

grees after his name but unless

her heart would get fluttering
with pride and longing and she'd
have to take a soda mint. Pas
heart didn't flutter quite so easily.
In fact he acted just as if Ethylyn
was q. plain kid and he was even
known to yell at her and ask
why in heck she didn't get up
and help her mother with the
dishes. Naturally, this cut Mrs.
Peterson to the heart, but, then,
she had always felt that she'd
married beneath her.
But, suddenly. when 10, all
these bright hopes crushed. For
Ethylyn fell madly in love with
a real estate agent named Fred
and married him despite her
mothers cries Of anguish. Pa
thought he was a likely young
fellow and that Ethylyn had, for
the first time, shown ray of
sense. But Ma bitterly prophe-
sled that she'd live to regret it.
And sure enough she had. She
didn't wait very long either. The
young man had proved to be as
"good a provider" as Pa had
hoped, but Ethylyn was wanting
to "go on with her music" Fred
bought her a piano, but that
wasn't enough. How could she
play with Junior squalling in the
next room? How could she "let
herself go'' when she had to be
thinking Of what they'd have for
supper?
So Ethylyn's life is simply
ruined, according to Ma. And
now Robert seems on the verge
of running his. And all because
Pa doesn't understand the soul
of an artist"
You wouldn't guess that Robert
was an artist at casual glance.
He Is a fat, rather pasty young
man with small eyes. He eats
a great deal and gets up late to
do it. He likes to sit incoming
over his ham and eggs, running
his hands through his hair, gazing
off into space. He never gaZes
so far, however. that he forgets
the ham and eggs. 1t thrills Ma.
She's had wonderful time since
Robert graduated and came home
to eat and plan his writing ca

mind was not troubled over the
