- THE COVER
- It’s not much fun to say good-by for keeps. Johnny is saying uncertainly to his pals, “I’ll be seeing you”—and are his eyes tending to focus on the pal in the red skirt? His mother probably is misty-eyed about leaving the house all empty and lonely-feeling, and dad isn’t exactly lark-like happy either. Well, cheerio! Soon their new house will warm up with home-feeling; dad’s new job will hike him into a snazzier income-tax bracket; and Johnny will blend into a new collection of dogs, Indians, cowpokes and indubitably another tag-along item in a skirt. This cover got going because George Hughes and his folks are moving house next week; but as they’re merely switching from Arlington, Vermont, to East Arlington, their pals can wave good-by and, next day, drop over and wave hello.
