Going Fishing HE trouble began when I accepted what I felt was a not too warm invi- tation from Daddy that one of the girls go fishing with him. If Dad was disturbed at the immediate acceptance of his suggestion, he did not show it, and along I went with him, never thinking I should be a nuisance. From the start things went badly-in fact went from bad to worse. Now, I had chosen my prettiest summer frock in honor of the occasion. Dad asked if I hadn't more sense than to wear a white one. Thinking he was concerned about my getting the precious dress dirty, I took no offense at the question, but I had to ask why he handed out to me a very old jacket, torn and rather the worse for wear. Don't you know, he asked, that the white would frighten the fish ? I looked at him and laughed, but found he was not joking. Then we had to iind a boat. The first we selected leaked badly and we began to sink as soon as we had taken our seats. The second choice was better and we rowed out into the middle of the dam. It was interesting to watch Dad casting. I thought it very graceful and quite easy, and was anxious to try my luck. In response to my eager request for a lesson I was told that the first thing I had to learn was to keep quiet. It seemed that my lesson in that particular was to start right away! After some minutes of silence I began to hum to keep myself company. A Shush! crushed me for a while. He was not in such a bad humor but he had lost three fish and was getting there. Some one on shore hailed us cheerfully. I turned round to shout an answer, and rocked the boat. Daddy dropped his line and I caught it. But I didn't catch Daddy. He has not repeated his invitation.
