Try and Stop Me -By BENNETT CERF- ROBERT GOODRICH writes about an elderly gentleman who overheard his granddaughter repeating the alphabet in an oddly reverent sort of way. "What on earth are you up to?" he asked. She ex plained, "I'm praying. Grandpa. I can't think of exactly the right words, so Tm just saying all the let ters, and God will put them together for me, 'cause he knows what I'm thinking." Clifton Daniel, lon-ln-law of Ex-President Truman, called on a couple whose 8-year-old son was reputed to be the best brought-up lad in town. The boy lost no time in proving that his reputation had , been honestly won. "Good afternoon, Mr. Daniel" he exclaimed, hold ing out his hand. "I've Just been reading about you in that den of lions." On the subject of children, Desmond MacCarthy once remarked, "Here is something on which I really can speak with authority. I (have been a child myself." O 1957. by Bennett Cerf.
