Thursday, October 25, 1945 a characteristic she has never outâ€" grown to this day. And the very 'M"-fi;‘ah'tcyuubuh was flooredâ€"figuratively and alâ€" most literally. You see, mom came dashing out of a phone booth in a great hurry, and there was dad, right in her w,"ifin‘bpfllhlefllm .fihnlnonmm in the shock of the impact. To be almost bowled over by a pretty girl with dark euris, rosy cheeks and sparkling hazel eyes was someâ€" thing to write.home about. And after he had recovered ‘his equiâ€" librium, dad decided he liked it â€" right But even so, proprieties: called for an introduction. And try as ho! would, this seemed next to impossiâ€" ble. He dogged mom‘s footsteps. He was always turning up right in her path,â€"withâ€"a cheerful .. gxig. However,.....mom _ hadn‘t .. been. brought up to talk to strangers. But although she elevated her pretty nose and her eyebrows crept up toward her generous pomâ€" padour, she couldn‘t help blushing, and she acquired a secret little smile â€" a habit of watching out of the corner of her eye for that audacious young man. With every rebuff dad grew more determined. _ Finally: he jearned that mom was staying with her Aunt Sally, at the edge of town.. And that was when dad really got on the beam." Aunt Salâ€" ly had a phone. Phones are known to become out of order.

Perchâ€" ed on a telephone post just outâ€" side her window! Dad turned on all his charm. "How about .a movie ‘tonight?" he begwed. + ; * Fresh!" â€" Mom slammed down the window and went to tell Aunt Sally about the nervé‘of some peoâ€" ple! â€" Then she giggled. "He is awfully ‘cute," she admitted.. Aunt Sally must have thought so too, for when dad asked respectâ€" fully if he might call and meet her niece, she replied that she didn‘t know why not. . fls It was a high voltage courtship. Dad went down to skin and bones, for in order to catch the car to make his nightly call on mom, he had to hurry through his dinnerâ€" sometimes to skip it altogether. But although Aunt Sally apâ€" proved of dad, she didn‘t approve of youthful marriages. . So one evening mom and dad just walked to theâ€" preacher‘s by themselves and â€"told Aunt Sally about it afterâ€" So now, when they hold up their hands in horror at the antics of their â€" "bewildering â€" offâ€"spring," I don‘t take them too seriously. History, we are told, has a way of repeating itself. > Through the long, hard pull of Sacrifices ever freshâ€" . Comely gams have lost their glamour, Blurred by rayon, lisle and mesh.
