THE OLD MAN ON THE HILL SAY?—
Ma Takes A Vacation
Dear Mrs. Turner:
I was humming “My Wife's
Gone to the Country” when I
found your card in the mailbox,
for that is what has happened.
She has gone to stay a couple of
weeks with Mrs. Muscott down
on the Nestucca river, so there
are two lonely, disconsolate
widowers on Fenwick Street here
in Portland.
I thought I would write and
relieve your mind of any worry
you might have and tell you

that John is getting along as
well as could be expected, al
though I know your absence has
its effect on him and he misses
you as much as I do Ma. In
fact, I was afraid he was worry
ing too much so, just to get his
mind off his trouble and cheer
him up, I gave him a little sur
prise party. It was a very quiet
afiair^just three or four blonds,
and 1 brought along a small
quantity of varied refreshments
and it broke up quite early, no
„net staying later than four-thirty
a.m.
it anyone should tell you that
ihe neighbors all objected to the
noise, it is a base canard. There
was only on.’ or two that said
anything and then not till it was
almost time for the party to
break up.
There was one of the blonds,
however, who kept forgetting
that John was a married man,
out I reminded her of the fact
tow and then so everything was
all right. John was trying to
leach them the national Swedish
dances, but without much suc
cess. Those Swede folk dances
are rather vigorous affairs and
there wasn’t room enough, too
much furniture, but I don’t think
there was much damage done
that cannot be repaired.
Then c ne of the blonds wanted
io dance on Ihe garage roof-a-la
September morn. We got a step
adder and she climbed up ,but
she could not hear the radio
music that far. I tried to play
the jews harp for her but my
false teeth kept falling out so
that wouldn’t work either. John
was so disappointed that she
said she would dance for him
on the dining room table. We
pulled off .that nice, hand-cro
cheted table cloth you had on
the table and she climbed up
and started her dance but it
did not turn out very well. At
the first jump she bumped her
head against the ceiling «nd fell
down off the table.
She got quite a bump on her
head and also one where she hit
the table. We had a quite a time
soothing her, but after two or
three Tom- Collins she said she
was all right again. John gave
her a piece of the plaster she
knocked off as a memento, or
something.
Anyhow it was a nice party and
I think it did Mr. Turner some
good. At least it kept him from
worrying over your absence too
much and I know you will be
very grateful to us for taking
such good care of him while you
are gone.
Oh yes, during the excitement
following the table dance episode,
someone got tangled up in your
table spread and tore a couple
of holes in it but I think it can
be sewed together without much
trouble and also, one of the
blonds got a runner in her stock
ing, but John loaned her one of
your new pairs. She promised to
return them the next time she
comes out. so that is all right.
(To be continued. John Gives a
Return Party.)
