Rambling Thoughts GRANDMOTHER QUOTES THAT: You gotta sow just what you reap; don’t wade in water that’s too deep. A bird in the hands is worth two in a bush; if you get anywhere you must have push. You should look twice before you leap; you should think twice before you speak. Birds of a feather all flock together; continue to fight in all sorts of weather. There is nothing new beneath the sun; work is work and fun is fun. Never count your eggs before they hatch; sweet potatoes aren’t found in an Irish potato patch. Always practice what you preach; never cross a bridge you haven’t reached. Be sure to make hay while t he sun shines; practice early to be on time. Why continuously repeat these; when everyone does as they please. — Ernestine Everett. TWELVE THINGS TO REMEMBER: The value of time The success of perseverance The pleasure of working The dignity of simplicity The worth of character The power of kindness The influence of example The obligation of duty The wisdom of economy The virtue of patience The improvement of talent The joy of originating. S. CESPEDES. WOULDN’T YOU LIKE TO BE: As quiet as Ora Lloyd? As graceful as Essie Hawthorne? As intelligent as Delmas Escoe? As well dressed as Edmund Brooks? As unconcerned as Geraldine Wilker- son ? As witty as Elizabeth Riley? As sweet as Mary Woods? As pleasant as Laura Williams? As peppy as La Rue Younger? As innocent as La Verne Allen? A wise cracker like Christine Smith ? As small as Catherine Hailey? A$ fat as Isaac Smith? As ambitious as Rosemary White? As friendly as Dorothy Johnson? As polite as William Washington? As neat as Mildred Kemp? As earnest as Dorothy Hayden? As dignified as Katrina Lyons? As handsome as Paul Hererra? As sure of yourself as Junior Brown? As dramatic as Catherine Greene? As much in love as Earnestine Ev- erett ? As much pretense as Sylvan Ander- son? As important as Ionia Bryant? As care free as Iris Goins? As practical as Eddie Peters? As entertaining as Susan Cespedes? As demure as Evan Lee Houston? As cultured as Roland Rhodes ? As conventional as Bernice Smith? As clever as Guinevere Guy? As adverse as Arneda Williams ? As immobile as Wardell Scott? As particular as Georgia Watson? THINGS WE NOW ENJOY You need no coal, you need no wood To have a fire hot and good. (Gas) The pens and pencils flee away You still may write a ream each day. (Typewriter) A thing of wheels and frightful noise That scares the girls, and pleases the boys. (Motorcycle) A whirring sound and off it flies To sweep the cob-webs from the skies. (Airplane) When it’s fastened to a wire You may “press” without a fire. (Electric Iron) A drama we have never heard And yet you know its every word. (Moving Pictures) A box that tells you o’er and o’er How much you purchase at the store. (Cash Register) Adding is its special feature; Does its sums without a teacher. (Adding Machine) A little boat without a sail That swims below just like a whale. (Submarine) Suppose you name a kind of tub That cleans your clothes without a rub. (Electric Washer) No seals nor bolts, nor fastenings tight Can hide things from its eagle sight. (X-Ray) It’s not a hose, it’s not a broom And yet it’s used to clean a room. (Vacuum Cleaner) A “candle” that will never burn Yet lights the way where e’er you turn. (Flashlight) IMOGEN FOSTER.
