I told you it wasn't the road to the river, pa. Henry, I believe the boy is right. Ma, I want a sandwich. g How are you going to get a sandwich when they are under the seat? You kin get out. Oh, well, this is a pleasure trip-I may as well humor you, Willie. Stop the car, Henry. How do you figure that? Didn't it take me half an hour to start it? Ma, I want a sandwich. Henry, will you stop this car so I can get out and get the boy a sandwich 7 Well, all right, but if I don't get her started again, don't blame me. Theres your sandwich, Willie. Now keep still. Henry, how long are you going to crank this engine? Until she starts. Pa, why don't you turn it faster? There she goes as sweet as ever. Pa, this ain't the road. 'Tis too. How do you know it ain't7 Because this is the upper end of the street we live on. Henry, we're going back toward home. We have just gone around in a circle. You're crazy. I 4' No, she ain't, pa. Theres our house right down there across from the school house. I ort to know. Well, I'll be-in Henry, if you use such language before the children, what will they be when they grow up? What are you going to do? Were going home and stay there and this old thrashing machine is going into the garage. This is a fine pleasure trip. I'll tell the world. -4 U U 4. 1. .- in t. 4. Mildred Kitto, I22. 916 914 H4 Plurals M ost Singular Well begin with a box and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox should be oxen not oxes. One fowl is a goose and a whole lot are geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. The plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth7 If the singular is this and the plural is these, Should the plural of kiss always be keese? Then one may be that and three may be those, Yet hat in the plural would never be hose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren. But though we say mother, we never say methren. The masculine pronouns are he, his and him. But imagine the feminine, she, shis, and shim! So the English, I think, you all will agree' Is the most wonderful language you ever did see. lPage Twenty-sixl

The Joys of a Sunday Outing R. SMITH drove his Flivver up in front of the old Smith house and hollered, Say, Maggie,.let's go on a picnic. All right. Say, hurry up, Maggie. When do you think we're going? This time next year, I suppose. just wait a minute pa, I have to call Frankie and Willie. Where you going, ma? exclaimed Willie. Why, Willie, were going on a picnic down to the river. Everything was going on peacefully when Mr. Smith exclaimed, Maggie, did you put them sandwiches in the car? Sure, Henry, under the back seat. That's fine! In among all them oily tools. Well, we ought to have a larger car. How many people do you expect to ride .in one flivver, anyway? Pa, look out for that cow in the road! Who's drivin' this car, Willie, you or me? It ain't no car, pa-its a Lizzie. You shut up. Henry, don't speak to the child that way. Pa, this ain't the road to the beach. Now looky here, sonny- Henry, if you speak to that child again that way- Now listen, it's hard enough to steer this old boiler without a lot of gab from the back seat. I thought this was going to be a pleasure trip. We never had a pleasure trip in this old boat yet. Well, I ain't no millionaire. I'll say you ain't, Mr. Squibbs aint no millionaire either and they've got a French Hardparaf' He made his money selling celluloid cook stoves to the Shipping Board. Well, he made it, didn't he? I Pa, did you put any oil in the car? Lookit, the gauge. Willie, if you don't shut up, nowA What makes it knock so, Henry? I hear knocks all the time. Knocks are the best things I ever hear when you are along. Pa, there's a milk truck going to pass us, Let her pass. Henry, it's too embarrassing. A steam roller could pass this old bus. Why don't you get a new car? If anybody should offer me the Ferry Building for a nickel I couldn't buy one of the door knobs. Pa, let me drive, will yuh? My heavens, Henry, don't let Frankie drive. Your driving is bad enough. There now, look what you went and done. You got me nervous, I pretty near took a spill. This doesn't look like the right road. .i U H .- .4 I. .4 .. i. IPage Twenty-fivef

ACK WILLIAMS was inclined to be bashful. jane Adams found out that the one subject on which he could talk freely was about Cousin Mary. Let a girl mention books or literature to him and his mouth became dry and his tongue felt as if it were glued to the roof of his mouth. Yet, jane was his ideal girl. Therefore, when jane discovered that he liked to talk about his Cousin Mary, she was wise enough to ask him about her very frequently. No, Mr. jack Williams was not afraid of men nor ill at ease when among them. I-Ie called at Mr. Adams' office bright and early one morning and calmly asked for the hand of his daughter. Well, jack, said Mr. Adams, I certainly haven't any objections. That s to be settled between you and jane. Why, er-I haven't had the nerve to ask her yet, replied jack. When I was young we didn't go and ask her father if we could marry. We got married and then asked the old man where we could live, said Mr, Adams, ichuckling. Yes, but- No 'but' about it, he continued, the times haven't changed that much since I was young. Say, jack, the lamp have I bet you that a nice cozy room, a pink shade and ruffles on caused more than one proposal. I-Iow about it? And you mean to sit there and tell me you havent proposed yet? I did propose. You gave your consent. But you are not going to marry me, are you? I understand it was jane you wanted. Talk to her. Now look here, Mr. Adams, I asked you. It's the same thing. Not by a hundred miles, jack. If I told jane that, she wouldn't be home the next time you called. You don't know women! If you haven't courage enough to propose to a girl, what are you going to do if she marries you? You've got to have some spunk. Oh, I've got the spunk all right. But you know how I feel. Say, jack , let me give you some advice. When you propose to a girl, you don't blurt right out that you want to marry her. You don't? said jack, looking surprised. Certainly not. There are lots of ways. Figure them out for yourself. Then you mean I've got to ask her myself? questioned Jack. Sure 'il can't do it, Mr. Adams. I-Ionestly, I can't. Well, I can't spend any more time with you this morning. I've got to get busy, replied Mr. Adams. So ended the interview, with ,lack no better off than he was before. That night, jack went to see jane. By way of making conversation jack exclaimed, Oh, Cousin Mary is coming to-morrow. ls she? Oh, I'd love to meet her. If she is anything like you, she must be very agreeable, responded jane. A lPage Twenty-sevenl
