for me to get into. I couldn't have done it any other way."

Lifo Begins At

by George B. Russ
; Miss Madie ran toward Jeff and he ran toward her, and before
either knew what had happened they were hear hugging. Jeff was
stinger with his lips, but Miss Madie let go of caution and "hung
right in there." His broad, flat, stubborn chest felt good against
her heaving breast, therefore, she kept on drawing him close to
her, then pushing him away until Emma Lou's metallic voice
knocked her senses for a loop; "I'm learning more and more, with
each passing hour, about how you spend your time, Madie
Perkins!"
Miss Madie felt the way a kid does when he is caught with his
hand in the cookie Jar. She blurted out the first words that came
to the tip of her flaccid tongue; "whatcha mean?"
"Don't be no fool, Madie. I haven't been out long as you have,
but I know babies don't come from the stork." Emma Lou said.
Jefi scurried toward the front door the way mice hunt the
nearest exit at the sound of the approaching house cat.
"Hold on hot foots! No need to run before you see the whites
of man eyes." Miss Madie called out to the retreating cltedal of
her passions. And Jeff stopped at once, grinning sheep ishly.
Emma Lou watched the saga of the black American woman's
favorite pass time, with more bewilderment than disgust. She was
amazed to see, in action, a pair of middle-aged vanishing
Americans playing the lead roles in a "Rape of the Sablnes."
Miss Madie broke the stagnated silence; "no need rushing off
like-ah-cat wiff a can tied to his tall." Emma Lou's bark is worser
than her bite."
Emma Lou gasped as though she had swallowed her tongue,
then, she spoke as Calmly as her flabbergasted nerves would allow;
"I have no desire to blow out an old flame, but I can't bear to
have anything near me which makes me want to throw up."
Miss Madie grunted; 'Ugh! the pot can't call th' kettle black."
Emma Lou wanted to thumb her nose, however, she dldnt
wish to give Jeff a bad impression. He was no most sought after
bachelor on South Hill, but he was a handsome, well-tailored man
who was accepted by most of South Hill's uppercrust. She said,
"Mr. Boykins, you asked if Miss Madie were busy-she really
needs a change of scene-why don't you take her for a drive?"
Jeff jumped for the bait. "Sure thing, Mrs. Perkins. You recall I
have offered my services."
Miss Madie decided to go along with Emma Lou's suggestion. If
a change of scene meant putting satan behind her, she was ready,
willing and able to do for Emma Lou what the devil had never
done." But, Just for the sake of giving her sister-in-law's
grandiloquence a jolt; she asked, "what time is Mister Ben's
funerial?"
The question pierced the target and shattered its composure.
And in a jeering tone, Emma Lou told her old maid sister-in-law
in a nice way to drop dead; "when I'm ready to bury my dear
departed daddy, you will be the first person to know. Now!
please go with the nice Mr. Boykins--the fresh air will do wonders
for you."
Miss Madie was ready, in a matter of minutes, to go out with
Jeff. She had made a quick change Into something that, at least,
looked cooler, daubed cologne behind her ears and neck; dusted
peony sachet inside the bosom of her dress. Then she hurried out
of the house Into the beaming sunshine. Jeff held open the door
of the Januty, little sports car; "be my guest," he said playfully,
And she laughed up to the glaring sun; "I see you're driving a
different car."
''Yes. I had an accident with my other car." He said
awkwardly.
Miss Madie wanted to probe more, but she didnt. "The more
one stirs stink, the more it stinks," she decided, and closed her
eyes against the evening breeze. With her eyes still closed she
asked, "who told you about Mister Ben?"
"Bad news travels like feathers in the wind." He answered. "He
was ah-good man."
"So I have heard. I've been told that he was a real lover-boy in'
his hey-day."
, "Where are going?" Miss Madie asked, in an effort to change
the subject.
"Now that your Mister Ben has gone, you'll need somebody to
do nice things for you."
Miss Madie's eye lids sprang open wide-"Whatcha mean?"
