Meanwhile I was without any drinking Water , and as the day wore on I was be- .ginhinglto suffer from dehydration. Noon came With a call to dinner: The big kitchen was to say the least warm, as dinner had been prepared on .a wood burning stove. "You poor boy," said the old lady as I entered' the home. "You must be dying of thirst." I ad- mined that I was." • Would you have a glass of dandelion wine. I jUst Made it a day or so ago, and I pin a' little lemon in it so to take .away the bitter taste. It is really quite nice." I knew the flavor of dandelion wine., Many folk made a little as a Spring . tonic. If it didn't cure you, it wouldn't kill you, so I aireed to try it. I quaffed off a glass of the old lady's wine with relish. It was good to feel" its moisture 'on My parched throat. "Would you have another ," enquired the host- ess. I agreed, and a• second glass went down the hatch as I sat down to dinner: I started 'in with the first course of meat and vege- tables, reminding myself that I, must reserve a place• for a piece of lemon pie (one of my favOur- ites) that adorned the table. •Sud delay, I discovered that'I was losing my appetite, and without finiihing My first course I excused myself and, made for the outof doors. ,I found • a spot 'out of the sun, and where a little breeze fil- tered through between two build- ings. I lay there while the dizziness and terrible sick' feeling began to leave. I knew what was wrong. I was drunk on the old lady's wine, a fact which caused a good deal of merrirfient to the daughter of the house though I saw little to laugh about. For the, first and only time in my life., I was partially intoxic- ated. Two glasses of the wine on, an empty stomach had proven too much' for me, though the wine Was still Sweet. Many years have passed by since then. I have stud• led a good deal about alcOholisrp and why people 'drink. I have been told they do it to escape „reality. I Suppose I diank that wine ,to escape as terrible thirst. But the cure turned out to be worse than the disease', and never have I been tempted to indulge in intoxicating beverages of, any sort Fortunately the re- pair man arrived about the 'time I was recovering from my' slight inebreation.
