Ornamental Pheasant Society of America and
stories Of his prize winning Cochin rooster
were circulating in the newspapers just before
he died.
The CAV friends Of Phil and Marjorie
who had spent hectic months with them, never
took the retirement of Mr. Plant quite seri-
ousy and figured that eventually he would
sally back to Broadway and the night life.
ONLY once did this happen when Phil grew
tired Of playing checkers at night, but his
comeback was brief as, he told confidants
his friends seemed phonier than ever. And
so he cut short his sortie.
During the brief relapse. however, he had
renewed one or two friendships with night
lifers and if they were not sure that the
Plants had become thoroughly domesticated,
they were quickly dsillusioned when they ac-
copied weekend invitations 10 visit Phil and
Morjorie. They found Mr.. and Mrs. Plant in
an old house which happened to have been
Phils birthplace. 1t was surrounded by
large estate which Phil had acquired for
raising his prize stock Mr.. and Mrs. Plant
received their guests courteously and tried to
make them comfortable, but the luxury-oving
visitors soon found their quarters were
cramped, there was only one bathroom. very
small kitchen and dearth of servitors.
Evidently the Plants had gone in for a
sort of local option. too for only special
callers were invited TO have a cocktail. Pills
amenities were limited 10 showing his guests
around the estate where they were invited
to inspect prize chickens, blooded horses
blue ribbon COWS and the well-known pigs
These pigs were so blue -blooded that the
Department of Agriculture had sent experts
to study them and to acquire an interest IN
their health and good behavior
When dinner time came the Plants would
sit down with their guests, but there was
no liquor. Instead there was plain whole
some food and when nine o'clock struck in
the evening Mr. and Mrs. Plant politely eX-
cused themselves and explained that since
they must arise early. as all farmers do, they
must also retire early. In the morning the
guests would find business going on steadily
on the farm and most Of them would find
an excuse TO go home before the weekend
was over. Many of them referred to the life
of the Plants as dreadfully dull
