mi | Letters From a Song Writer’s JUDGE Mother to Her Son Dear Son: When Popper and I was first married, which was before you was born, he didn’t like del sen cooking, but I liked del sen cooking because it saved me trouble, and that’s his weakness now. And you would be surprised how weak this weakness left him. Our own radio, which we was having trouble with on account of the installments and other things, was fixed last weck. Your little brother Sammy, who is learning to be a song writer like you, is also interested in radios and he fixed it. He fixed it all right. Now we can’t hear noth- ing; not even static. So when we want to hear your songs now we hafta open the windows.

Well, how is business by writ- ing songs? I notice the song writ- crs are leaving their mommers alone out of the songs nowadays. They are substituting girls in- stead. Well, of course, they can only have one mommer. But there's no limit to the other in spirations, and business is busi- ness. Popper says so. Love, Mammy —R. C. O'Brten "0 that—comical.
