the party is spoiled.
III was going to be q hunting
and fishing party with two men,
who'd been hunting deer together
last Fall, and two men who crossed
the continent half way, one from
New York and one from San Fran
cisco, to catch spreckled trout to-
gether in a cold clear stream of
brown water in the Rocky Noun
tains.
Their wives we're coming, too.
Nice, sensible, comfy wives who
liked to hear the same old story
over and over again. Why they
even laugh at the same old jokes
year in and year out, and what's
more they enjoy the jokes no mat
ter how many times they have
heard them.
And Tom has Just come back
from an amazing motor trip right
through the heart of Africa. He
has seen gnus and giraffes and
whole herds OF little gazelle5 with
feet no bigger than your thumb,
and great big liquid eyes like the
eyes Of a brown slave woman in
Arabia.
And Tom can tel things - that
you see them. He makes you see
dark lakes, cleaning in the tropi-
cal moonlight; he makes you hear
the savage beat Of the tom-tom in
the deep jungle; he makes you
hear the light tread of the great
yellow and black striped tiger out
for a drink Of water in the cool
Of an African evening after the
heat Of an African day.
And Tom can talk like an Afri-
can guide and he can speak so
much ike a little cockney steward
on a coast-wise steamer that you
listen for the kick of the screw
and almost smell the salt Of the
! rolling waves.
Tom can tell you about a GER
