In the oM summer time, we seat ©f depend; on the rtver, and in the winter it s a j tough propssitson cooping y&urself up g in that oM tin-tub in She back wwd- ji Shed. You're constantly in danger ©f a having a pile of wood blow down on j you, or else have the back door bhw g open and a zero wind come in to nip at you. I wandered into that bathroom and just admired all the fancy trappings and the little gadgets. It sort of got me . . . and at last I decided to give it a try. The very'thought of being able to lounge around in a place like that was . * , well, it was just about as luxuriantive as I could think of anywhere. I got my clothes off all ready and I stepped into that bath. It seems that you can either try them sitting down or lying or just simply stand­ ing up. I decided to try it standing.! There was so many of those thingum­ myjigs, that I just reached out and turned one. SWISSHHH . , - owoo ... I just about outdone any stuck pig you ever heard with my real old beller when that hot water started to come out. I made a grab for thelments. knobs . . . got the hot one turned off, when I had begun to parboil, and I i must have hit the cold one. Talk about the draughts in that old back woodshed of ours. It hadn’t a thing on that bath, and I fully expected to freeze. I got it turned off, and the same gol-darn thing happened the | next time. SWISSSHHH ... it was the hot water again. Then the cake of soap slithered down off the little shelf and I stepped on it. You can talk about steeping on ice on the gangway, but I went down faster than old Susie Prattle can talk. I scrambled to get up, and my hands were wet and very slippery*, and whenever I tried to grab the side of the tub I would slip down again . . . and all the time that hot water was spraying me. ■ By the time I got it turned off, my I skin looked like a half-boiled lobster. 5 There was water splattered over ev-1 erything, and all the towels w*ere t soaking. I experimented then, and discovered that when you turned the ~ water on sort of half and half, it was j gjnn;ng the next meeting. Miss I sions Saturday night, that the title about the right temperature. I lay back then and just sort of reclined in the way I imagined a fellow would if he were used to all that sort of thing. Rrringl The little white telephone on the table started to ring. I reach­ ed over for it . . . and not being sure as to what you should talk into, I picked it all up. It was a funny shape with, one part to go up to your ear and the other end to talk into? and! I wrestled with that for a -while. The darned thing slipped ... I slipped and I was lying down the water come up pretty high. “Hello ...” I yelled . . slipped then “Glug” . . . and telephone myself were under water. The cord of the telephone around my neck and I tried to over, and a wave of water went i the side of the tub. I don’t know how long I was at that, but a big burly looking felloiv came in with a shield on his vest and he pulled me out, set the telephone back up right and said: “Say, you’re pretty Old to be playing games. If you want to do a suicide act, why didn’t you tell me before.” It seems he is what is know as the house detective. Cold or not cold, the next time I take a bath it’s going to be out in the old back woodshed.

Maybe you may have read in newspapers last week where that big implement firm had me down in Tor­ onto as their guest for a couple of days, Maybe, if you’ve been reading you heard them say that I was a big success , ,. well, just to let you folks on the back concessions in on the story, I’ll tell you this. I. ain't no shucks at making any of these so- called witty speeches. I just got up and said a few things about this and that and cracked a joke, and they all laughed, but it was at my appearance more than anything else that they were laughing. What I wanted to tell you readers of this letter of mine, was that I had a mighty swell room at that hotel, There was a sort of sitting room, with a lot of easy chairs and a table and nice lights , , , and then there was the bedroom. It was nice, too, but that there room , ♦ , the bath­ room . was certainly a wonder. the CASH PRIZES EVERY TWO WEEKS BY COURTESY OF RDY&HjsEHflLD TRIPLE—TESTED FLOUR Mrs. Durnin Phillips has returned home after spending several weeks with her parents, Mr, and Mrs. Cur­ rie/; Gode rich.
