Saturday morning Skip set off whistling. Toward noon I expcriâ€" enced a presentiment of impending disaster, so, while downtown markâ€" eting. I stopped in at the office of Mr. Smith to se> how things were progressing. There sat Skip in the middle of the floor of the main room. He actually had rolled back the rug, but as for his method of set‘ing about cleaning .~. . well, I ceuldn‘t give him much. He was apparently finishing one spot at a time, and puddles‘ of dirty water were interâ€" mingled with lunips oef wax, spread her> and ther over the floor. I nearly fell off my chair, andT Herace looked startled. The jobi was, we found, of a rather menial natur>.â€"but Skip didn‘t seem tol mind. A‘ friend of the family, a Mr. Smith, was going away for the weekâ€"end. and Skip was to clean his law offices thoroughly, waxing and nolishing and getting them in tip top shape for his return. Then c blittely; "Hey. potta job "Skip!" I shrieke@‘you‘re doing it all wrong!* But it didn‘t s:em to me that Skin was going about getting a job in the right way. I don‘t believe I‘d hire a chap who strolled nonâ€" chalantly into my office and inâ€" auired, casually, with a freckled grin : g "Know where I c‘n get a job?" And that wis about what Skip would b> sure to do. he was going to get, and 'hQ he would do with his earnings.* "I might even get a second hand car," he said, brightly. Horac: looked up sharply at that. If there is one thing that "sends" Horace (ii the wrohe direction) it is these soupedâ€" up jalopies that teen agers barrel mround in. I could read. his thoughts as clearly as though there were a peep hole in the front of his head. "You don‘t have the price yet," his thoughts read, "and if, by any chance; you do get it . . . . we‘ll see about that!" However he refrsined from remarks. 3 "Okay, .pop," Skip said mildly. "I‘ll get a job . .~.. doing what?" Horace struck another attitude. "Find one! That‘s what I had to do!" Horace‘s idea of discipline is to let the rcins lie slack for a stitch, then sudd>nly pull up with a jerk. "When I was your age," Horace said, striking an attitude, "I didn‘t have things handed me on a platâ€" ter. I worked for ‘em. I had a job, eand believe you me, I attended to it. too." I can‘t seem to remsmber just how our young hopeful came by the name of "Skip". It certainly doésn‘t &pply to the speed he shows SÂ¥ound home. P srh@ps it is his enâ€" thusia¢m for rtsâ€"or anything iith: mtun?!e play. Well, any :« «+s s Even if Skip is a gangling, slowâ€" moving stringbean of a high school freshman, he has the sweetest disâ€" position this side of heaven. He gets that from my side of the family, of course. Why, even when Horace put his foot down (for the sake of discipline, presumably) on Skip‘s sp>nding another summer at campJ our son and heir took the nltilnstuu.u in stride, although he is simply nuts about camping.

Mr. Smith said that if he was satisfied with this job he‘d recomâ€" mend me to all his friends." . * This was too much "He will not!" roared Horace. "Becauseâ€" know why? Becauss you‘re going ‘home right now and pack your gear ready to start for camp toâ€" morrow morning . . . . And there you‘re going to stay for the rest of the summer . .. see?" L * "Oh, gee, popâ€"d‘ye mean that? Oh, thanks, popâ€"thanks a million. I‘ll get on my horse right now. Whoopâ€"ee!"" And Skip literally tore out of there, féet barely touching ground. He even beat theâ€" car home. Sometimes I wonder. Is our Skip just a wee bit slow in the uptake ._. . . or is he pretâ€"ty doggone shnewd? Of course I wouldn‘t adâ€" mit it to Horace. But ybu know Prrtz of the Highland Park high school was absent for the first time in his 33 years of teaching. "I ‘spose by rights," he offered, "I should give you two a sort of commission, on account of how much you helped." * *~ "A mere nothing, son. Nice workout. Think nothing of it." Horace‘s sarcasm was lost on our son. . ... it‘s bare possible that it could be! We did, and I give you my word, there wa$ never a cleaner or shinâ€" ier suite of rooms in the whole city â€"or. maybe in the whole world. ‘There," said Horace, whisking the swedt from his brow and squeezâ€" ing his Tâ€"shirt over the washbasin, "now maybe I‘ll be able to look Smith in the face." Skip was jubilant. "I betcha Mr. Smith gives me a bonus," he chorâ€" tled, "on account of how nice everything looks!" Horace gave him" a â€" sidewise glance, and Skip‘s face clouded. â€"I don‘t need to telF you what happened. Horace and I fell to and gave that suite . of offices the works, Skip hanging on the out skirts of the action, getting in the way. In the middle of the afterâ€" noon the janitor appeared outside the door with the vacuum cleaner and stood there, looking blank. "Leave that thing here," Horace told him..‘"We‘ll finish up." When he came down stairs he was garted in Tâ€"shirt and shorts. Sensing â€"the trond of events, I hastily donned my garden slacks honor. ~'L If you‘re a motherâ€"or a father Well, thanks tbeo, it was Saturâ€" day and Horace was hom:>. I would not be cbliged to bear my burden alone. I burnt up the road getting home, and my account of the situa~ tion must have been graphic, for without a . word, though â€" visibly striving for c:im, Horace ros> and put away his pipe. "Guess I‘ll take a look," he said, carefully. "Lunch can wait a bit. And I really didn‘t want to go golfâ€" ing, anyway." * "Take it easy, mom," advised Skip, calimly, "everything‘s under control." He continued to dabble and swipe until I thought I‘d go "I Wonder Who‘s Kissing SPECIAL KIDDIES® MATINEE THU. FRI. SAT.
