Now the first half of the lesson
was learned, and it had only cost
six hundred dollars. Mama real
lied that after theory, comes
practice, or something like that.
So to put the finishing touches on
her driving she decided that a
long trip would be just the thing.
And one bright morning, not
many days later, she and the two
younger members of the family
pointed the radiator of the test
car west, bound over hill and dale
and in spite of hell and high
water decided to make trip to
San Francisco. Now, between the
starting point of this epic journey
and the final destination were
high mountains and narrow wind
ing roads and steep grades. But
Mama set out with high heart
and no doubts. And now l will re-
late how, on one of these narrow
winding roads on the rim of one
of these steep mountains, Mama's

Mama took her eyes off the road
to rebuke him. The car swerved.
The child, more terrified than
ever, bit harder. Mama reached
over and slapped his hand. The
car left the road and crashed into
the largest boulder on the slopes
of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Now see what you went and did,"
cried Mama.
But nobody but the car was
hurt. The three picked themselves

a charming inn on the shores OF
Donner Lake. 1t took a weeks
time and S40O to repair the car.
But they all found the inn so de-
lightful and enjoyed their enforced
vacation so much that they de-
cided to spend another two weeks
there, swimming and basking in
the mountain sunshine.
Mama remarked that she had
always wanted to stop at Donner
Lake, it was such lovely spot,
that in this modern world there
is too much hurry, and she and
the. kids needed the rest and
change anyhow. so what was the

trip down the peninsula about 40
miles, to visit a friend in one Of
the suburban towns. Mama had
mastered mountain driving, now
all she had to learn was how to

achieve this by the simple method
of doing it! She managed the trip
to the town successfully. dis

AS she was passing through the

to drop in on him. She pulled up
to the curb and parked. She had
a pleasant visit, and the old
friend, with the pride of a subur-

istence of angels. and the problem
of whether or not the spirits of
the dead communicate with friends
on earth has been disputed by the
greatest minds through the ages,
but / have solved one problem all
by myself and purely through OBJ
servation. I know that angels do
exist, Guardian angels exclusively
for women. And I discovered this
truth that great minds have been
cropping for through the ages
simply by watching women drive
automobiles.

put a foot on the accelerator and
trust in God. And, for their faith,
are rewarded with personal
guardian angels. 1 will cite a few
examples to prove my statement.
Take my mother, for instance.
She keeps her guardian angel
busy day and night. The poor
thing never gets any rest at all.
If that's heaven, and we are
handed duties like that in the
hereafter, soy no. The life would
be far too strenuous for me.
Why my mother should need a
guardian angel at all is a mystery
to me. After all, her driving les
sons cost her over a thousand dol
lars. But then Mama is different.
She believes in going into things
thoroughly and to hell with the
cost, One summer mother decided
it was high time she learned to
drive a car. So she went out and
purchased a secondhand coupe
for $500. This was simply to learn
on, she would purchase a new car
later. Now, mark you, at the time,
she was living in small town in
the mountains. To get to the post
Office she had to drive miles over
a narrow trail. The day the car
was delivered, Mama, undaunted,
decided she would drive to the
postoffice for the mail. She had
had no lessons. She simply got in,
fiddled with things, made a few
false starts, finally got the car in

ipulation of an automobile and
went no further. It was very
simple. Put the car in low, the
accelerator to the floorboard, and
let out the clutch. And do it all at
once. Since that time, from her
first day of driving, Mama has
covered thousands of miles in
horseless carriages, herself at the
wheel. And never since that first
day, has she, in driving, had the
accelerator anywhere but pressed
down to the floorboard. Well, she
negotiated the trip to and from
the postoffice without mishap. 1t
