V7ur neighborhood was flooded recently by a nearby
creek. Within minutes there was two feet of muddy water
spilling over my floors and furniture. As I waded through it,
trying to set my valuables on a higher level, I thought
nothing worse could ever happen.
Finally, in tears, I stumbled next door, There I found
them standing in water up to their knees and laughing. On
the steps leading to the second floor sat my neighbors' 12-year-old
son. He had a rod and reel and was calmly fishing
into the living room.
Soon the water receded and, as I went about cleaning up
my once-shiny floors, I kept chuckling to myself at the sight
of that young fisherman. My troubles didn't seem so big
then. Mrs. E. J. B., West Plains, Mo.
EPITAPH TO A CAREFREE YOUTH. I used to
wonder about what people called "the degeneration of the
younger generation." My younger brother, in his high-school
and college frivolities, seemed irresponsible. Even when
graduated and headed for a career, I questioned his aim.
Then he had a recurrence of a childhood disease, rheu
matic fever, and needed an operation. At the hospital his
attitude was still the same gay, frivolous, carefree. "Is it
really true?" I asked myself on the way home. "Is this
generation so completely uncaring?"
He died after the operation, and my "irresponsible"
brother was gone. But inside the drawer of his hospital
nightstand he left an epitaph: "If I do not survive this
operation, my body is to be turned over to heart specialists
for research. Perhaps the incurable condition of my heart
will save someone else's life."
That was the end of my "frivolous" brother, a member of
the "degenerating younger set." Ethel Hale, Pataskala, O.

... 1 may possibly be the first person ever to meet one
of America's greatest golfers in her petticoat.
I didn't actually meet her, but I did spend the morning
with her. I had a wonderful time.
The dressmaker in the converted office once owned by a
color-mad architect was altering her collection of fine tweed
skirts. When I walked in, it seemed to me there was some
thing vaguely familiar about a customer with a turned-up
nose, twinkling blue eyes, and freckles to match her curls.
Not until she asked about another appointment after prac
tice did it dawn on me.
Practice? Ballet? Arpeggios? Card tricks'
Golf?
Patty Berg!
Patty is a superb golfer. She conducts clinics just as well.
But that day she gave one of her most successful perform
ances before an audience of three dressmakers and me.
When she sneered, it was a production. The wild walls
shook and the bolts of yard goods slithered across the tables.
Patty had a gamin grin on her face.
