THIS WEEK’S COVER
- Gently, gently now, for both sides are right in this slight vacation convulsion. Papa Toury has been steering the bus for three days toward Point Lookout, and, having finally made it, is he not justified in decrying the little ones’ disinterest in looking? On the other hand, for three days Johnny and Janey Toury have been peering at interminable scenery; so now that the car has quit jiggling and reading is possible, what is more dutiful than rejoicing in the new books that papa bought them to read? If papa, with his field glasses, should happen to spot a drive-in movie in the valley which could be reached by eventide, the children, then monopolizing the glasses, would revel in this lovely view and artist Sargent’s crisis would subside. Or when do we eat?
