a man in the house when she had
made the reservation, she knew it
was the right house, so she said,
“Is your wife at home?” The old
man glared at her—“Nope.” Silence,
—“Been dead 16 years.”
After nearly fainting, Becky told
him she was sorry his wife was
dead. To this, he had another
short answer—“I’m not.” Becky,
still hoping to find the woman she
had talked to, managed to ask him,
“Is your sister at home?” Another
glare and another “Nope.” Another
silence, then—“Never had a sister.”
Becky was speechless and seri
ously considering running when the
little old man told her to “Come
in, come in. Get off the front
porch.” He led her into the living
room, said “She’ll be here in a
minute.” and started reading the
paper. And sure enough, she came
—and asked Becky if she’d met her
“friend”- Before Becky had a
chance to apologize for not calling
Saturday, the little lady winked at
her—“I bet I know why you came,
lim told you to call me and you
forgot! Don’t worry—I won’t tell.
It’ll be our secret.”
At this point, all Becky could do
was nod “yes.” Forty minutes later,
after listening to the woman ex
plain about being president of the
WCTU (Women’s Christian Tem
perance Union-) and the conven
tion she was going to next week
(rooming with the Grand Secre
tary!), Becky was finally able to
leave and went screaming down the
street. So take heed, ladies, take
heed! ,
The Wesley Foundation held
planning retreat at High Rock Lake
over the week-end. Water-skiing
was great—but sunburn hadn’t been
included in the schedule—ouch!
The Westminster group spent Sun
day afternoon at Davidson.
I hate to say it, but it seems that
room drawing brings out the beast
j„ us—but now that everyone has
a place to lay her head and park
her books next year, perhaps things
will return to a “civilized state.
Troubles will be forgotten in the
rush of beach parties, Germans,
May Day—and Exams!
