Siva manning-Qlnntinueh spyin' on us. I don't blame you much. I did the same thing once when I was a kid. Things was pretty slow for us kids after that for about four or five months. But about a month ago, Sis and Ma began to sew. Me an' Dad had to keep out of their Way all fight. They didn't hardly give us nothin' to eat either, Why 3 feller c0uldn't sit down on the sofa or in a chair without settin' on a paper of pins or a needle or two, An' Ma an' Sis was all time holleri11', William, don't set down on that! or Be careful or you'll mash that dress! I asked Ma what she was doin' an'. she said, Why, we're making your sister's trousseau! . I said, Vxfell, if she can't be true to him without all that stuff she'd better leave him be. One morning Ma said, VVilliam, you must keep out of the way this Week. We'll be very busy. Your sister is going to be married next Sunday evening. Well, I kept out all right. NVho wouldn't with the house all tore up? . So they cleaned and scrubbed an' cleaned 'til they couldn't clean. no more. By Friday it looked fine. An' Saturday morning, Ma says, I'll make the 'Dride's cake this morning. And Vv'illian1, you must not come in the house. I told Sam, and we watched. Ma, she got a great big pan to make the cake in and I said to Sam, VVell, there'll be enough left for a week. But Sam whispered, ukeep still. You see, we was behind the flour chest, way out of sight. . Pretty soon the telephone rung an' Ma went to answer it, so we crawled out. Ma had a big cook-book on the table an' I saw where it said 2 tablespoons salt. I said, Sam, let's put the salt in, an' Sam he said, 'fall right, so we went in the pantry and I found a box that has Salt on it. I thought two tablespoons of salt wasn't enough so I put in four for good measure. Then we stirred it up an' left by the back door. ' You never saw so much fuss as we had at our house Su-nday morning. Every- body but me was nervus. By night Sis was scared to pieces. 'Bout eight o'clock aeople began to come. Before long the house was full. I had on a high collar an' it hurt my neck an' chin. Pretty soon everybody got still an' a woman began to play. Then Sis an' Mr. Long came walkin' in. They was walkin' awful slow an' Mr. Long was lookin' awful handsome. Say, but Sis was pretty. I-Ier dress was made out of some lace stuff and there was a long thing made out of lace, that dragged behind her. I thought sure she'd get her feet tangled up. Well, they stopped in front of the preacher an' he said a lot of words an' they was married. Then everybody went to supper. They ate a long time and I was Scared there wasn't goin' to be nothin' left. By and by they got through eatin' everything but cake. Then Sis took the big :alce knife an' cut the big cake. My! but it looked good, Then they started to eat it. Sis took a bite an' looked scared. Then Ma took a bite an' looked still scareder. Then she cried quick like, Oh, what's the matter with this cake? It's awful! And then I happened to think about the salt and my face got red. Ma saw it and she says, :'VVilliam, did you do anything to this cake? Ain' I said, I jest put some salt in it. Ma screamed, Oh, William, you'll kill me yet! Bring that salt here at once. I got it and gave it to her an' said, Here 'tis. Ma held it up an' on it in big letters was, E-P-S-O-M S-A-L-T-S E-X-T-R-A S-T-R-O-N-G! I HELEN LOUISE CLARK '19, Seventy-one
