Paper T have a good time and 1 go and gather cherry and I have fine Eaten and Every day after dinner we go down swiming and me and robert sleep together and send me 10 cents. Dear Friend, write you these few lines to let you know we arrived safe. The place is very nice and beautiful. It is full of cherries and apples, also strawberries. Virginia is very good the name of the place is Live's Farm, Branchville, Conn. From V. G. a laa oe Sanctum Talks LL, well, Lire!” “My dear Professor Henri Bergson, I thought you had gone hore.” “I have gone ostensibly. This is only a quiet little visit which I am paying to you after the thing is all over, to congratulate you.” “To congratulate me!” “Yes; as a representative of the American people I want to congratulate you upon my recent visit.” “You mean, Professor Bergson— “T mean that I have started in your country a new race of philosophers. Think of what this means for the future!” “Ah, Professor Bergson; no one is more grateful to you than I am. But it is not for the philosophers that I am thinking.” No?” No, Professor Bergson; my grati- tude wells up to you for an entirely different cause” “What is that?” “T am grateful on behalf of all of the husbands of America.” “You astonish me, Lire. I don't think I met one of them while I was here.” No, they were all playing golf, poker, or damning the stock market. But, thanks to you, future generations of them will reap the benefit.” “The benefit of what, Lire?” “Of your visit, of course.” “T fail to understand you.” “My dear Henri Bergson, I am amazed that a person of your per- spicacity should fail to grasp the on- tological, transcendental, teleological, analytical, and dialectic phenomena which I have just placed before your area of consciousness.” “Nevertheless, I am still in the dark. Explain to me why the future generations of husbands will be so grateful for my presence here.” “Because, Professor Bergson, their wives will have developed a new non- sense to discuss. Don’t you see this gives the husbands all the more time to themselves? Isn't that simple?” “Quite simple, Lire, Thank you. Good morning.” “Good morning.” An Expert Brises: I see that conditions in Sing Sing are pretty bad. Griccs: Yes. I should judge by the accounts that they are almost as bad as the summer resort where I spent my vacation. ONE WHO OUGHT TO LE HAPPY AND THE ONE WIIO REALLY 1S, comicbooks.com a
