Bon Voyage
Imagination, Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer

They whiled away blisteringly
torrid Saturday afternoon recently

to Alaska, down to Mexico. and
back again into still colder waters.

biographies, and tracing their route
on maps made them forget the

water suggested Mrs. Heald point
ing to a cool green island on a

Heald's face and he abruptly left
the room.
A pretense at being sea sick was
carrying the game a bit too far,
she thought as she waited for him
to return. She waited long enough
to miss a sailing and then went
in search of him.
He wasn't playing games. She
found him taking an enforced dip
in saltwater which had oozed out
of the water softener and rippled
inches deep all over the kitchen
floor. He had forgotten he was
working on it before they sailed
away.
