LAZY MEADOWS 0 By Harry J. Boyle BUILDING BLOCKS Santa Claus provided Patricia Ann with a set -4 those small colored wooden blocks. When the blocks are piled 'up they are supposed to go into a definite pattern and make a house or some stith strueture, didn't pay touch attention to the blocks at :first but there came one Sun- day afternoon when it was raining outside. Patricia Ann 'came along with the box and the bright colors lured the down on the parlor floor to try my hand .at architecture. Why I ever did will always remain a mystery to rite! it was fun putting up the blocks in spite of the fact that she had an an- noying faShioo of poking a finger into the foundation of the building just as it was getting up nicely, She was also. itt such a pronksome mood that she used to poke some of the Welts under, the Chesterfield. just when I would have a fine 14itise bUilt the realization would tome that there were not th• ought to lent either a roof or a chimney, on it.

We're all human enough to imagine that we are pretty good at the games Biased by children. In vain I tried to remember the way the blocks had looked in the box when they were all new. They had been so pretty with rows of red, blue and green blocks making a perfect pattern in the shole low box when you opened the Ed. Wheo the slipper meal came along I was still trying to find room for' the various blocks, Patricia Aim just sat and watched use. in fact I even noticed a smirk on hett face as I rump- led my hair and squeezed a round one, in one Place wily to have three or four oddshapecl ones tome .flipping out at the other side of the container. Mrs. Phil .assured me that all th e blocks should go in the box. I bmoded 'on the problem at stipper-time and all. during chore-time. I began to remetri-. ber those "sanity tests" where they hand a 'suspect a tray with a lot of round and square 'blocks and ask him to put them all back in their proper, places, No wonder they find a man ttt bevetazy, 11e couldn't heanything else if he got mixed up with an .ar-moment such as this one that Pat- ricia Ann has, Long after Patricia Ann went off to bed I poured over the problem of the blocks, I could narrow it down to three or four but they always remain- ed outside. I had a notion of hiding one or two under a cushion but re- membered that Mrs. Phil would only find them and then there would be plenty of "razzing," I went back to the newspaper and tried to read. Those crazy blocks seemed to conic bobbing up before the printed words. I just had to get them back in their proper places. I was much like a man playing one 'of those "nickel" machines I see down in Bd. Cutt's bather shop. They get angry and figure that it can't beat them, I was going back in' to try out an- other round of the blocks determined to put them back in their places. Mrs. went in to straighten up the par' bor. She reached down, re-arranged the blocks into a new order and slipped them all back into place. Since then I have postively refused to play with Patricia. Ann's blocks, It is too dangerous a ,game for me. A man who'd just joined ffor train- ihg passed a captain without saluting. The captain stopped him, "Take a. look at me," he said. "Do you attach any special significance to this uniform." The 11tW chum looked biro over, and then grinned, "Why, you lucky dog," he exclaimed, "you've got a suit that fitsl" tam Goal, Schenk; defence, McDonald and G. lt,leGire; •centte, R.
