Just J U S F 0 1 k S A. A By Guest Edgar EARLY VACATIONS Do you remember Nellie in our early early years Those brief week two-week vacations with their laughter laugh laugh- ter and their tears When with very little money wed we'd pack up and go away rib To visit with relations who'd invited us to stay Then we took the babies with us and we tho thought Light it fine to be beTaken beTaken beTaken Taken almost every evening to a cousins cousin's house for tea Do you recall those suppers of the veal loaf loa and the ham And the pan of ot creamed potatoes and the jelly and the jam With the linen white and spotless and the glamour and the fuss fu With the special preparations which we knew were made for lor us And the aunties and the uncles saying ev every ry now and then We wont won't think you like our victuals less you pass your plate again Those were good old family parties when we talked the evenings through Telling all thet the joys joys and sorrows of the people that we knew All AU the failures failures failures' and successes and a little teary teary- eyed We recalled the last sad moments of the loved ones who had di died d. d Then we thought it downright pleasure and it was beyond a doubt Just to visit with relations and to be invited out Well those happy days are end ended cd for tor the old folks all aU are gone There are few now no left to visit with the summer coming on Gone the uncles and the aunties who delighted to prepare Those good old family suppers on the evenings we could spare But Im I'm hoping wh when n our children and their children children chil chil- dren older grow Irow They'll go visiting as we did in our youth of long ago 1
