Legends Of How
They Came To Be
(As related by Diana, with all typo
graphical errors due to your hum
ble roving reporter).
The other night I was out talk
ing to Diana. She had told me to
come by some time when I bad
some spare hours because there were
lots of things that she’d been want
ing to divulge. I simply hadn’t had
time to go before, but on this par
ticular night I had finished study
ing rather early so I dropped by to
see Di. First of all I had to look
for one of her arrows that she
THOUGHT went behind South
Derm. Evidently it didn’t, though,
because after twenty minutes of
crashing through the shrubbery I
still hadn’t found it. I scared a lot
of silly little squirrels, though. Fi
nally I came back empty-handed.
Di v/as quite disappointed that I
hadn’t found the arrow but she said
that it was all right, it was years
old anyway.
She unstrung her bow slowly and
waded through the water to the
edge of the pool where I sat watch
ing her. “I’m glad you brought
the coat along for me tonight,’* she
said with a little shiver. She sat
down beside me with a little sigh.
“Sometimes I think that I shoot
more arrows than Cupid does,” she
chuckled. “But mine always go I
know not where . . . Cupid’s almost
always hit the spot. He and Pepsi-
Colas don’t look much alike, but
they sure have a lot in common!”
Di giggled, delighted at her own
joke. Sometimes she gets corny but
she’s always cute and I love her
dearly. She can be serious too, and
she meant what she told me in the^
next few minutes. She was especially ■
earnest about what she said be
cause just that afternoon her brother
Apollo (“He’s the prophet in the
family,” Di muttered proudly) had
dropped by to see her and had told,
her many things; past, present, and
futvure.” I just want to talk over a
few people you know,” she said in
confidential tones. “I guess you have
been wondering why some people
are the way they are—psychology
doesn’t tell you EVERYTHING! I’ve
been watching all these people come
and go for a pretty long time now,
and I’ve had time to do a lot of
thinking about them. So a lot of
this I already knew and then my
father Jupiter—^he’s SUCH a wise
man—and some of my uncles and
aunts and of course brother Apollo
helped me out. It’s really quite fas
cinating and if you’ve got time I’d
like to tell you a little.
There are legends and legends, but
some of my favorites concern people,
and how they came to be what they
are. You probably know the story
of how some of my very dearest
friends and relatives came to be, and
who made them, and wh^ they’re
made of, and why. It’s really quite
fascinating, and I wish that we had
time to talk about all that. But
