Take, for intsance, the simple process pf going away, Today, it’s a matter pf forgetting about the work there is to be done, and I find that quite easy to do, and then stepping into the car and zipping along to where you hap­ pen to be going. But, take back in the days when I was a boy. Mother planned for quite some time on the trip over to Grand­ mother’s place, It was only a matter of eight miles . . . but in those days that was considered quite a distance. She watched for the mailman each day, and then, one afternoon, came idling up the laneway perusing the contents o£ the letter. Coming to the house, the letter was slipped into the apron pocket and no amount of per­ suasion was able to make her tell what was in it. At supper time she would hand father all the plates first, and urge him to tak'e a little more of this and a little more of that, and, as he ladled a second nappieful of his favorite dessert, she would gently say .... “I had a letter from Mother today.”. We would all look up, filled with at­ tention, but Father would say “Hmm” and noisily strain another saucer of tea through his moustache. There would be a dead pause filled with the sound of the collie turning over on the front verandah and the clock changing gears as it came to the hour mark. Then Mother would add, in a casual sort of way, “She wants us to come over tomorrow.” Father this time would sort of drone “Yes", and Mother, encouraged by this would say, “Millie will be home tomorrow.” . . “Hm’ph,” came father’s reply, “I never could stand that husband of hers.” Mother, quick to seize any advant­ age, would supply, quick as a flash, “He isn’t home this time,” and in a pensive sort of way, would add, “I haven’t seen Millie for over a year now.” Nothing more was said about it, but we heard voices after we went to bed and knew that Mother was persuading Father, against his deep- rooted hatred of having to get dress­ ed up. When she came up to tuck us in, she would say, “Better get a good sleep because your father is taking us over to Grandmother’s tomorrow.” We usually laid awake half the night thinking about it, but always managed to be up at four-thirty the next morn­ ing as Father started out to chores. Everything seemed to go That was the morning the cow kicked the milk stool away from the head of the household. The cat always seemed to pick that night for upsetting a pan of milk in the milk house. The calves always seemed to break out and get in the garden . . . and our belligerent Berkshire spent the night, in uprooting the chicken pens in the orchard and chasing the chickens half to death. By the time it came around to squeezing Father into a stiff collar, he was red-faced in a noisy sort of way. We generally managed to keep out of his way. His parting shot, as he went to hitch the team of drivers up, was, “Why don’t your people come over here some time?” But ■ Mother calmly went on packing a few jars of special preserves, and Father kicked the lane fence-post just' for emphasis. x When It seemed that nothing else could happen, as we travelled down the road about a mile from ottr front gate, and Father was beginning to relax and notice the condition of the fields . . . one of us would look back. Sure enough, there was the brown mare’s colt . » . loping along in a happy-go-lucky sort of way, What happened then is better not fold » , . suffice it to say that after the colt was put in the stable, it took five miles of Mother’s art of making conversation to make father relax his face and quit complaining about the trip. w ipe>n itedr a mysterious bond of brother* hood makes all Mrs. Clifton McDonald and little son, of Wroxeter, visited last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Mulligan.
