0 THURSDAY, MAY 3, 194S THE JOURNAL. PLATTSMOUTH. NEBRASKA PAGE FIVE vin 'T'HE transients just kept us go ing. My father was counting on the summer trade to get us cut of the red. He decided to specialize an sea food, serving a real Shore Dinner every Sunday. Lobsters were abundant in our bay. Cod sold for three cents a pound and haddock four. You could buy clams, already shucked, for 15 cents a quart. It looked like a good thing. Late in May he set Boshy to work building lobster traps and buoys. He himself wrote out no tices and arranged for them to be posted in all towns within a radius of 20 miles. SHORE DINNERS Chowder Fish Clams Lobsters Excellent Food All You Can Eat Seventy-five Cents On the following Saturday we began to get ready. There was the cleaning to do, the silver to polish, the butter to mold, the Bills of Fare to print we called them Billafares to say nothing of the cooking. None of us sat down a minute. By Sunday all of us felt the strain. My father jumped every time the telephone rang. My mother kept scrutinizing the sky, though there wasn't a cloud in it Sue was bessy. She was going to wait on table, and it had gone to her head completely. "Do this," she snapped. 'Do that." Julia and I were sulking because we had to help in the kitchen. Mrs. Guptill was irritable. It wasn't the extra work that upset her, but the lavishncss she saw about. The shelves lined with pies. Four long pans of rolls rising. Great heaps of doughnuts. Shortcakes in double layers. The big kettles ready for the chowder and lob sters. rpHE first car made its appear ance just before 1 o'clock a red Maxwell runabout with shin ing black cushions. It had two passengers, the driver and a wom an whose face and head were swathed in a bright green veil. (Green was easy on the eyes, so people said.) Benjamin helped the woman out, and Julia led her at once to the parlor. The driver had no sooner taken off his goggles and his wind cuffs than five or six loafers gathered around. "Another coming," someone called out. 7j- We listened. Sure enough. Soon it appeared, a black, two-seated Packard with enormous head lights of polished brass. One of its passengers rose and stepped out on the running board to give it balance while it made the curve. Then it pulled up be hind the Maxwell, five men, wearing dusters, leaped out in a light, springy way, though they were middle-aged and heavy. They shook hands with my father and the driver of the Maxwell. "Some road." "Yes, siree." "How are your brakes doing?" "Fine. How are yours?" "Jim dandy." The speaker stroked his car affectionately. The sound of a horn interrupted them. Locking up we saw an au tomobile almost upon us. Ye there had been no chugging. No knocking. A tiny line of steam was appearing from below its body. "It's a White Steamer," one of the men called out "A limousine.'. Julia poked me. "Look at the ladies," she hissed. . THERE were three of them in cal striped silk coats. Eut that wasn't all. They wore hoods and masks over their faces, and the masks were fitted with isinglass. The "White drew up behind the Packard. It was the first time three automobiles had ever been lined up together in our village. We were so impressed that for ait instant no one spoke. Then my father said, "Good day," as -befitted the occasion, and himself stepped forward to assist the ladies. Julia and I together led them to the parlor. We went slowly; for they stumbled about a good deal on the stairs, not being aolc to see well indoors. ' Once there, we hung around, waiting to dis-- cover what was behind those ghoulish masks. ... It was quite . a surprise to see three normal faces. The lady who had come in the Maxwell was lying down on the settee, resting from her journey. Driving was exhilarat ing, but it was hard onihe back, they all agreed. When the dinner bell rang; they hurried downstairs to join the men. Then they all crowded into the dining room. At 4 Sue came down to the kitchen to tell us what was go- . ing on. One guest, she said, was dozing on the settee in the parlor. Some of the others were rocking on the piazza, net saying much. My father had taken the driver of the Packard up to his office for treatment.. The party in the White were just about leaving. They had taken a hag of doughnuts to eat on the way. They would come back next Sun day, they had promised. When everyone had gone, Julia and I went into the office where my mother was counting ths money she had taken in. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were beaming. "We're practically home," ska said. (To Be Continued) State Barber Regulation BilMs Passed OUT OUR WAY By J. R.
