You have an excellent highway
technique but do be careful not to
impose on the hospitality offered
you. When a driver offers you the
hospitality of his car, don’t detain
him too long while you make-up-
your-mind whether you will accept
his offer of a ride. Go as far as
Hearne, if that is your direction,
too. Don’t keep him waiting then
tell him no one wants to go with
him—he may not even stop to offer
you a ride next time. '
On short trips, it is most incon
siderate to ask a friend, who has
given you a lift, to stop here and
there while you do some errands,
nor should you, it you are a guest
in a car, suggest stopping for re
freshments unless you expect to
pay for them. Even then, it may
be embarrassing to your host or
hostess.
Passengers in another’s car
should respect its interior. Ask
permission to smoke and be sure
to put cigarette ashes in the re
ceiver. Don’t open or close the
windows of a guest car without
permission.
Good car manners are as impor
tant as any other nice manners you
may have.

woman, with light brown hair, only
faintly streaked with gray and
skinned back into a tight knot,
clear blue eyes, a creamy skin, a
straight delicate nose, fine even
white teeth, and a small rounded
chin. From this dainty pretty head
cascaded a series of busts and
stomachs which made her look like
a cooky jar shaped like a woman.
Mrs. Kettle’s language was no
more refined than were her phys
ical features, she said what she
thought at any time and at any
plsico
The description of Mr. Kettle is
as vivid as that of Mrs. Kettle. He
had a thick thatch of stiff gray
hair quite obviously cut at home
with a bowl, perched on top of
which he wore a black derby hat.
His eyebrows grew together over
his large red nose and spurted out
threateningly over his deepest
bright blue eyes. He had a tre
mendous flowing mustache gener
ously dotted with crumbs, a neck
line featuring several layers of
dirty underwear, and sweaters, and
bib overalls tucked into the black
rubber hip boots. Mr. Kettle lisped,
and he was a perpetual borrower.
The author states that the flour,
chicken feed, eggs, bacon, coffee,
butter, cheese, sugar, salt, hay and
kerosene which the Kettles bor
rowed from them if placed end to
end would have reached from there
to Kansas City.
The Hicks were the very opposite
of the Kettles their farm was five
miles down the road in the opposite
direction from the Kettles. Mrs.
Hicks was stiffly starched and im
maculate from the moment she
arose in the morning until she
went to bed, looked like she had
been left in the washing machine
too long, and wore dippy waves
low on her forehead. The Hicks
had a neat white house, a neat
white barn, and neat white chicken
house, pig pen, and brooder house,
and all surrounded by a white
picket fence.
Betty MacDonald says that she
learned to hate even the baby
chicks. The tasks of measuring
feed, washing water fountains, re
moving the dying chickens to the
first-aid corner were always labor
ious to her, but seemingly a pleas
ure to Bob. In her Death and Food
Record book she would write
“Chickenpox-Eggzema and Suicide”
opposite each death. Bob would
see her notes and he would erase
them and substitute the words,
cause of death “not determined.”
