Show !"I REMEMBER" BY THE OLD TIMERS i . " .1 From Mrs. Millie Easton, Edmond, Okla.: I remember, when we noticed no-ticed any young man calling on his best young lady friend as often as once a week, the neighbors would whisper behind' their fans and say, 'They surely will be marrying very soon." From Donald Rlesman, Atlanta, Ga.: I remember when mother did the family washing in a wooden tub with a zinc washboard. From Mrs. T. S. McSwaln, wet-umpka, wet-umpka, Ala.; I remember taking some eggs to the store for my mother. I got the things she went for with the eggs and had a dozen left over which were worth 13 cents. With them I traded for three yards of cloth for a dress for me. From the Old Cuss, Chicago: I remember re-member when politicians restricted re-stricted their kissing to babies of the cradle age.' But now, there's no limit to whom and what a politlcan will kiss for a vote or two. Just the other day, I saw a picture of Bernard Ber-nard Baruch getting his face patted by a sweet young thing, who'd been out of the cradle for a date or two, I'll bet. He's taking a tip from Al-ben Al-ben Barkley. I'm getting up in years, so pretty soon, I can act like Baruch and Barkley without getting my face slapped. Then I won't be remembering much, old tlmersl From Mrs. Stella Casady, Harve, Mont.: I remember when I started start-ed to school In western Nebraska In 1884 In a sod school house with a dirt floor. We had charm strings of buttons. (Mail your memories to THE OLD TIMER. BOX 840. Frankfort. Kentucky.) |
