There were three in the road
ster this time-Tom and Harry and
Louise-out they piled and in they
came and in less than ten minutes
they owned the house, the whole
bunch of them.
Dad and Mother went into the
garden-it was a little sunny in the
garden, but you couldn't stay in the
house-young people are bored to
death to have Mother and Dad and
Aunt Gemima under foot.
And the girls sat on the floor and
~blindfolded their eyes and the boys
lit cigarettes and the girls puffed
one after another and guessed
which kind was which kind.
And along about six o'clock Moth
er AID Dad went into the kitchen
and before you could say Lon
CLANCY they had Sunday night sup
per on the table-and it was a good
supper, too. if you ask me-and even
If you don't ask me
A cold roast of good beef. a great
bowl of wonderful salad, as cool as
the evening dew. and pitchers of
iced coffee and ice tea
strawberries and cream, and a
homemade chocolate cake. Moth
er poured the coffee and Faith
er served the beef and Jimmie
served the salad. Oh, yes, Jimmie
Is a girl. Didn't you know that?
Two or three more people dropped
IN, drew up chairs and ate cake and
strawberries and cream and drank
iced coffee, coolies of it.
Then the young people rushed
into the living room and danced
and honk, honk!-they all piled into
the roadsters and away they went
giggling like a house afire-all but
Jimmie and the solemn young man
who hadn't spoken a word.
Jimmie and the solemn young
man found a roadster somewhere
under a bush or something, anc
went to town to a picture, anc
Mother cleared the table anc
washed the dishes-such a pile oil
them there was too.
And Dad-oh, he just grumbleC
and then he raved.
