Sally Gurgles, Then Curses, About Weather ^ _ ... .t running her count’erpane Mr. Go r such was shuffw By Betsy Liles “Oh, spring! Oh, this lovely Winston-Salem weather!” gurgled Sally Salem as she threw up the window in her room. Sally knew it was spring, and here for good. ’and drapping her counterpane around her like a Sally sallied forth barefoot to the lily pool with a book of poetry As she arranged herself on the edge of the pool, she opened her book of poetry and smiled out in iotiii It was spring, ana ntre lu. dook ,, too. Miss Anna’s pansies were be-| the general direction of «ag ginning to crop up, the weeping | Poje. she willows were sprouting and Mr. Campbell was nurturing little bugs and insects in the lily pool. “Everything is growing, even me, ” sighed Sally. It was true, she had to admit. Sally was oozing with a winter spread of fat, adding, pounds to it each day. For awhile, she had tried to diet. She luged her scales down to the dining hall and stood on them as she ate so she would be sure not to overcede her measley few ounces, but alas! to no avail. But now, Sally consoled herself, she had a motive—spring—and she threw herself to the floor and started pumping and bumping feverishly. Her roommate strolled in, gasped and then pushed a spoon in her mouth. “Sthoth thit!” snarled Sally, spit ting the spoon out. “I am doing my exercise. Spring is here, and you know who’s w'hat begins to do you know what!” “Men, shmen!” grunted Sally’s roommate. It’s evident she hadn’t atuned herself to the spring air, Sally consoled herself. Slipping into her peasant blouse walked backwards to the Pansy garden, plucked a pansy with her big toes, and then sauntered back to the lily pool. “Heh, heh! I know Miss Anna couldn’t have caught that!” She arranged her self again, with the pansy between her teeth and now smiled out to wards Bitting. Suddenly Sally felt something tugging at her skirt, and turning, she let out an agonized scream. It was one of Mr. Campbell s in sects gnawing on her skirt which w>as floating in the lily poo! with one lone frostbitten lily. Wring ing out her skirt, Sally posed again, and began to read a few poems out, carefully rolling her r’s and sisssing her s’s. It \yas be ginning to grow a little chilly. “Mmmm,” commented Sally, “this Winston-Salem weather is unusual.” She tied her skirt up tent-like around her and huddled inside. “The forces of nature will not bat me down !!! I hope.” The weather was turning colder and colder. Her toes \vere through the ice to sprinkle sw on the walks when he noticed crawling slowly to the Roommate put Sally to bed w a hotwater bottle and four bla.i ets.
