Her grizzled old skipper Is loved by all hands Who sail on the clipper He fondly commands. The helmsman stands ready, The running lights glow, The compass 1s steady, But still they don’t go. Though tops’l and spanker Are set for the tide, She'll never weigh anchor And gallantly ride To heathenish China Or ports picturesque— This ship-model “Dinah” That stands o’er my desk. Arthur L. Lippmann. At the Station “Now don’t forget. You're to write me every other day and put the laundry out Monday morning and leave the key un- der the mat every Friday so the cleaning woman can get in and don’t get cigarette ashes on the rugs and turn back the bed- spread so you won't get it wrinkled if you want to take a nap.”....“‘Where's Jenny? Where’s Grandma? Where's Irving? Have you got the lunch boxes?” -.+-"T'll wire you that Goldfarb and Company have bought a dozen gross of them night gowns. Then you show the wire to Weinheim an’ he'll tell Grossberg about it an’ he'll give us a big order. We can’t miss.”....“The very idea of telling me that the train is crowded and trying to make me take an upper berth! I'm go- ing to write a scathing letter to the presi- dent of the railroad.””. . . .“‘Does the 2:09 local leave on track 103 or does the 1:03 leave on track 209? I'm all mixed up.” ..-. "Irving! Leave the bananas alone. Wait till we get on the train!”’. .. .““Wash out the milk bottles and put them on the back porch and don’t you and Ed and Harry throw a lot of gin parties and ruin my good furniture and when I wi money send it to me right away.’ “I don’t see why I can’t go to Seattle by way of New Orleans. Aunt Minnie did it three summers ago.”....“If you stop over in Toledo, call p West 7865 and ask for Violet. Tell her you're a friend of Gus Zipser's.”....‘And don’t leave the lights burning and don’t leave dishes in the sink and write me every other day.” ..+.“Grandma, slap Irving for me—my arms are full of bundles. He’s eating the se-liver sausage!” Ee : Robert Lord. Photographed on s . Aquitania ASPARAGUS “WAJOT really?” This from the Very Eminent Actress in the languorous rising inflection beloved of two nations, “Can this be Formby asparagus... England’s most intelligent contribution to the aesthetics of eating?” The Spectacularly Prominent Star was choice in her friends, her dinner accept- ances, her food. She agreed with the Cunard Commissary that Formby aspar- agus . . . from the salt-impregnated sands near Liverpool... is the world’s most defin- itely delicate vegetable. As each month perfects its own variety the asparaguses of the two hemispheres parade across Cunard tables... In December the tall white Argentine opens the season followed by the giant California, the tantalizing Asperges Vertes de Paris, in February, and March, the slender green-tipped Lauris from the Riviera. The peak of the season, April, is Formby .+-then the “colossal” French Argenteuil and Montauban, the tender Oyster Bay, and the long green English Worcester... closing the season in August with the violet crowned English Cambridge. The Cunard Line considers asparagus of sufficient importance to serve as a sepa- rate course. CUNARD SS) See Your Local Agent 1840. EICHTY-EICHT-YEARS-OF SERVICE: 1928 comicbooks.com
