A COOL FAMILY.
‘ Was it cool where you spent your vacation ?’ • Cool ? I should say it was. I was staying at a farmhouse. I went away for a couple of days and returned unexpectedly. I found the old farmer wearing one of my shirts and my straw hat ; his two sons away at a picnic in my best clothes, and his wife straining jelly through my white flannel coat ; and all they said was: ‘We hain’t been expectin’ ye back so soon.”. It was the coolest family I ever struck.’
