While exploring their surroundings they were terrified by the telephone, vacuum cleaner and electiic lights, but they were delighted with the music that came from the phonograph. Startled at the sound of approaching footsteps, they stepped quickly into their frame again, feeling they were strangers in a strange world. On returning home in the Wee hours of the morning, Myrtle Patternggn and Georgia Blunk, as George and Martha of 1932, were disturbed at finding their furniture misplaced. They little suspected that it was the spirit of their ancestors come back across the years. -Mae Grjgwold' Twenty-two
