This Week’s Cover
- Let’s not toy with the idea that Pfc. Bugleboy, in this dawn bedroomscape by Painter Sewell, is making the mistake of blowing Taps instead of Reveille. He’s probably just blowing blasts, and is making a bad enough mistake blowing anything. Instead, let’s toy with the idea that it is beneficial for parents to be blasted out of bed twenty minutes early. When, on normal days, the alarm clock dynamites them twenty minutes later, they must make haste, and papa gashes his face while razoring, and mamma drops shells in the scrambled eggs. But how efficiently this bugled couple can now start the day, dressing leisurely, savoring the coffee, enjoying nature as they motor to the station. If they miss the train, there’s no sense to this essay.
