” WITH IRENE

We took advantage of the long
Weekend, and went down to the
coast. So now you will have to be
bored with my account of it.

Not that we did anything very ex-
citing. Clive came down with a beau-
tiful cold Saturday, so his contribu-
tion to the joyousness of the occa-
sion was a woeful “I don’t feel very
00d” and a desire to collapes in any
comfortable corner.

Saturday night or perchance listen-

end. We went to a show and then
came quietly home to’bed. But com-
pared to the busy
life we lead in
Williams Lake,
even that was
quite a change.

spend five eve

children and having a real holiday,

of diapers, bottles and naps was no
holiday at all.

delight to watch. but the cavortins
seals who rough-housed with one
another and chased each other
through the water ran a close second.

With the perverseness of children
Elaine was somewhat frightened of
the seals but fascinated by the huge
bears and kept wanting to go back
and see them again.

The much-pictured and publicized
penguins are rather a disappoint-
ment I think. One rather expects
them to put ona bit of a show, but
except for their startling appearance
and awkward shuffling walk, they
do little but stand around and look
at the crowd standing around. Usu-

THE HORSEFLY HYBRID

But this might not he-true.

In_a country as wild as this one,

Anything might have been,

‘Truth being stranger than fiction,

Who knows what has not heen

And if one met this monsier,
While fishing the good Horsetly,
Is it not within all r
That the fishes would want to die?

Now if the head was of a horse,
And the pody of a fly,

Could such a head such body
Nutritious food supply?

And likewise, could a fly-head

Within that beast would breed!

Dyspepiie people as we know
Are easy to annoy.
So fly-fed horse, or, horse-fed fly,

Would be no Mother's joy!

wondered why Horsefly was given its
name as she has not yet seen what
is known as a “horsefiy” up in this
country — at least not the type
which is known in Great Britain, Our
only advice to Mrs, Frend is to
“slick aroud.” As we remember it,
Horsefly has its horsefies and usual-
ly you don’t have to look for then,
only avoid being run down.
