BETTY CANARY
Ma ’s Lazy (?)
By
The curtain rises on our latest audience-involved play
and we see an average mother and her average children
on an average August morning. Offstage, the chorus is sing
ing softly (to the tune of “Daisy, Daisy!”) “Crazy, crazy!
That’s where we’ll drive you to-daaaay . . •”
The children lean listlessly against the refrigerator and
make smeary fingerprints as mother, awash to the ankles
in puffed wheat and melted Popsicles, idly picks water
melon seeds off the table. Mother speaks.
“Well, children, what interesting plans do you have for
today?”
Children drone together: “What’ll we DO?”
Mother: “Boy, I sure wish you weren’t so average.”
Children: “There’s nothing to doooo!”
Mother: “I know! What about going swimming?”
Children: “Ah, who wants to go swimming?”
Mother (tersely): “Lots of children who are less fortu
nate than you, that’s who.”
Children: “Oh, motherrrrrr!”
Mother: “Play with one of your countless games?”
Children do not answer.
Mother: “Read one of your lovely books.”
Children stare sullenly.
Mother (desperately): “Look through your souvenirs?
Make cookies? Wash doll clothes? Play school? Set up the
badminton set? Get out the Jarts? Put up the train set?
Go to the library? Paste in your scrapbooks?”
Children (all together): “There’s nothing to DO!”
Mother (wrings her hands): “Ride your bikes? Roller
skate? Write letters to grandmother?”
Children: Can’t YOU think of something for us to do?”
Mother (crying now): “Make more Popsicles? Get out
the .skateboard? Practice with the hula hoop? Back yard
picnic?”
Children: We NEVER have anything to do!”
Mother: (with sarcasm): “You could do a little work
around here. Cut the grass, sweep the walks, shovel
through your rooms ...”
Children: You NEVER want us to have any fun!”
Mother: “I know! Why don’t you set up a lemonade
stand?”
Children (suspiciously): “What do we have to do?”
Mother (with enthusiasm): “It’s lots of fun.”
Children (dully): “0.K.”
Day is done. In background children chatter happily,
POLLY’S POINTERS
Here’s How to Improve
Looks of ‘Whimsies’
By POLLY CRAMER
A «* /
\W>
DEAR POLLY —Do tell Mrs. L. N. she can improve the
looks of her “whimsies” by passing them back and forth
through the steam from a teakettle. Shake gently and
shape the flowers and leaves. If necessary, press the veil,
under waxed paper, with the iron. Stuff with tissue paper
and store. Mine always look pretty.—CALLA
DEAR POLLY—Mrs. L. N. wanted to know how to re
store her “whimsies” to their original shape. Perhaps it is
because I have a house full of small children (or maybe I
just never grew up myself) but I rely on children’s balloons
to do the trick for me. To KEEP a “whimsie” in shape,
blow up a balloon right into the “whimsie.” If you are
artistic you can make a face on it. If the “whimsie” is
squashed, dampen slightly with water and, after inflating
the balloon carefully, reshape it and spray lightly with hair
spray to keep it in shape.—JUDl

are more conservative designs that could be used to cover
these economical, quickly made bags.—MßS. S. S.

exhaustion against the kitchen sink, mutters softly to her

crumpled paper cups and a demolished card table, we hear
