LIFE’S AN OPEN BOOK
WHERE ‘MARY’ VISITS
One Feels As Though One Lived in a Glass House Says
Winifred Black, Pitying This Eager,
Grasping Soul
By wi: :fred black
Mary Elizabeth has gone back hrnne.
Thank goodness.
Mary Elizabeth is an awfully nice woman, too. She’s bright, she's
good humored, she’s generous, she's amazing, but dear me, she makes me
think of the wolf In little Red Riding Hood.
Don't you remember when poor little Red Riding
Hood went in* her grandmother's hut with her poor
little hands full of goodies lor grandma, and there
was the wolf dressed in grandma s clothes as fine
as fine.
“Oh. grandma.” said little Red Riding Hood,
"how big and sharp your teeth are.”
And then grandma -ode a grab and it wasn't
grandma at all. It was the Wolf, and poor little Red
Riding Hood was gone.
That's the way Mary Elizabeth is.
She sees so much and she hears so much and
then she goes home and talks so much.
She tells all year favorite stories and "cracks" all
your favorite jokes, and to hear her taik you'd think
that all the friends you have spent a life time in
WINIFRED BLAfK
l.vlng were just her friends a.id not yourr, at ill.
Mention a name that she hr- never heard before and vou can fairly
sec Mary Elizabc'h’s ears stand out like the receiver on the telephone.
ruigci yiai, immer never, sue
remember it to her last gasp and
she’ll know all about the woman
who bears it and where she lives
and who she married and why she
married him, and w’hen you first
met her, and why she likes you, and
why you like her.
Doesn’t it sound selfish? But.
dear me. somehow I feel as if 1
lived in a house made of plate glass
and had to keep all the electric
lights burning n'ght and day so I
wouldn’t have one single little bit
of a thing in my life that Mary
Elizabeth doesn't know every sin
gle thing about.
Poor Mary Elizabeth; she's al
ways so hungry—hungry for food
She loves chocolate and candled
fruits, and mince pies, and every
thing that's rich and dainty, and
when she sits down to the table her
eyes flash and melt and widen until
you can hardly stand It.
And she’s hungry for clothes, she
wants all kinds of clothes all the
time.
And she’s hungry for admlraton
and for love, and for appreciation,
and oh, I keep wanting to tel’ her
“My dear, if you wouldn’t want
them so hard you’d get them.
Yes. I am glad that Mary Elisa
beth had gone home. I feel as if
I were giving e stage performance
every minute while she is here.
Do you know a Mary- Elizabeth
and are you ashamed of ourself
when you do not exactly like her?
