from a Rosewood Casket Mr.. Sang
win didn't want him to get well but
he did want him TO live until July

That was one Year. No longer ago
that 1926 they departed from their
usual Habit of taking a Mid-Sum-
mer Journey through Europe In
April and May. That Year they
were all set for Motor Tour which
was 10 include all the Best Hotels
and the Scenic SplendOrs of the
North American Continent. Mrs.
Sangwin had the Blue Book practi-

For several Years before that
War was the Alibi. They would tell
all Callers that they. were just crazy
TO take in the Sights on the Other
Side, but they were waiting for Con
ditions To get back to Norlnalcy.
Not once did they ever Confess,
even to Themselves. that they were
scared to Death when they saw a
Storm at Sea in News Reel. and
they had no real Longing to be
among Foreign Barbarians who
spoke strange Languages. and they
were secretly in Love with the
Corned Beef Hash. the Griddle
Cakes and the Double Mattresses
OF their own comfortable Shack.
Of on a Wild Excursion.
This Year they are at IL again.
They are just as het up as they
ever were. For several Weeks they
have been standing in awed silence
in Westminster. They have supped
at a famous Night Joint in Paris,
where all OF the Ladies' were not
what they might have been but. evi-
IDENTIFY. were what they seemed To
be. They have looked down from
dizzy Alpine Heights at the smiling
Valleys. They have learned how tn
pronounce Sale d Manger. They
have lolled back in Gondolas, look
ing at the Moon, and stood in the
coliseum. trying to visualize the
spectacular Immensity of Roman
Holiday. They have visited Battle
Fields and purchased Souvenirs and
Mrs. Sangwin has seen the big
eyed Manikins parade in their
hoop-la Fineries.
Gosh. but they have been going at
some Clip since about April the
first! What's more, they really and
truly believe that they are going to
sail on the MastodOnic just as soon
as Clarice graduates from High
School. If they were not so wrought
up they would pause in their Pipe,
Dreaming and recall that Mrs. S.
has lot of Fruit to put up this
Summer and that the Chamber of
Commerce has made Hiram Chair
man of the Committee on Arrange
ments for the Celebration of the
Fiftieth Anniversary of the Organi-
zation oe the Fire Department. the
dates being July 9th. 10th and 18th.
So the big Vacation will go blooey.
However, the Sangwins will not
be deprived of their usual Outing.
Some Day next month she will fry
two Chickens and stuff some Eggs
and harpoon them with Tooth-Picks
and wrap them In Tissue Paper. and
the whole Tribe will motor up the
River as far as the old Peters Mill.
where Hiram will do some still fish
