Don 't Cook Now . . .
but ... We had a comfortable feeling
on Wednesday, that the weather would be
sunny and dry lor a time. Thl3 was because
the weatherman predicted more rain.
Old Custom . . . The recent custom of
standing in line for everything has not en
tirely died out they still stand in line at
the bank. I find that it's well worth the wait,
for one sees so many interesting characters.
There are old men and young men, women
with overcoats and girls in shorts, landlords
with canes, old women with umbrellas, men
with little boys who look just like them, and
always, just behind us, someone who thinks
he can get to the window faster by pushing.
For posterity ... Into my will I am go
ing to insert a clause whereby colored lights
will be installed under the water in the two
drinking fountains in Willson avenue and
then every time the Waite fountain plays
during band concerts, so will the two itsy
bitsy Buren fountains . . . Maxine Buren.
