these various places.
These visits are nearly always
the same. To begin with, nv
mother usually writes and says.
"Son, I have just heard that you
are going to such-and- a place.
and you must not fail to call up
Mrs. T. w. wilkins. She would. be
terribly hurt If she found out you
were that near and didn't call up.
She was so fond of you when you
were q child, and I am sure she'll
want you to come out and have
dinner with her. And, II you have
the time, you ought to call Aunt
Sarah Groat. She's failed a great
deal lately, and 1t would be nice for
you to run by and cheer her up for
a few minutes"
Enthusiastic Reception.
I have called Mrs. T. w. wilkins
and Aunt Sarah Groats all over the
South and typical telephone con-
versation goes about like this: ]
Me: Mrs. wilkins, this is Henry
McLemore.
Mrs. wilkins: Who?"
Me: Henry McLemore.
Mrs. wilkins: How do you spell iti
Me: M-c-L-e-m-o-r-e.
Mrs. Wilkins: Are you any kin 10
Mrs. j. S. McLemore?
Me: Yes, mann. I'm her son.
Mrs. Wilkins: Let me see, now.
Which one of the boys would you
be?
Me: The youngest one.
Mrs. Wilkins: Oh, that one. Well.
l certainly do want you to remem.
Der me to your dear mother when
you see her. Goodbye.
The Aunt Sarah Groats NAV
have failed quite bit, but not
so much that they can't recall
dozens of discreditable acts per-
formed by me when I was a boy,
l have yet to meet an Aunt Sarah
Groat who could recall one praise
worthy thing had ever done.
Even worse on the ego than the
old friends of the family are the
people about your own age. the
ones you went to school with, that
you run into here and there. They
all look at me with undisguised
surprise as sif unable to figure out
why I am not in jail or the gutter.
Or, at least, in rags and tatters
and knocking on the kitchen door
for handout.
Shock After Shock.
l am always running into peo-
pie who say, "I'll swear, I wouldn't
have known you, boy. You look
right good. What are you doing
for living these days?"
1 always explain that write 4
daily newspaper column.
Yeah, it seems to me I heard
you got into some kind of news
paper work. What paper do YOU
work for, boy?"
There's another shock about re-
turning to old home towns, and
that Is meeting once again the
sweethearts OF long ago. The girl
that you first thought you were
IN love with has no business ever
growing up and becoming presi-
dent of the garden club. 1t does
something to a man to see his
one-time steady date wearing those
kind Of shoes that were strictly
made for comfort, and putting on
her glasses to look up a phone
number. OF course, the most
horrible part of all this is that
the one-time girl of your dreams
is also giving you the once-oyer
and doing her share of wondering
now she could have ever felt the
way she did. The places whers
your hair has receded seem to
gleam like lighthouses, and no
matter how hard you try to hold
your stomach In there comes a.
time when every man must really
breathe.
But III never learn, I guess. Here
am in Atlanta, and about to
call up Mrs. T. w. Wilkins, and
then pay a visit to Aunt Sarah
Groat.
