all the time! Isn't that funny!

Yeah, I'm dying laughing.

Ha-ha. Good-bye!

Good-bye.

Letty! Oh, It's hot in here.

Yeah, I know.

Oh, look, dear. Let me help you.

There's a catch in there someplace.

Oh, no! I was just wondering if

you'd lend me your owered dress.

My dress? Yes. You see, it's

just my shade of blue, and-

Well, I thought it'd be

so nice for the picnic.

Sure. That's why

I'm wearing it.

Oh, but it's too small!

You simply bulge in it.

Well... you're not

gonna bulge in it.

Oh, please.

Letty, look.

Look. You can have

my New Jersey knit.

And look like a bag

full of eggs? Huh-uh.

Darn you, Nancy. You've been trying to

get that dress ever since I made it.

Oh, all right!

What's this?

Oh! it's a cake.

Yeah.

To Walter from Letty. Well,

isn't that just too sweet.

Well, I would have put Jim's name

on it too, but I ran out of icing.

- Oh, of course. - Sure. Walter

doesn't mean anything in my life.

It's... just that... Walter's

name happened to come first.

Ha-ha, said the duchess,

laughing.

Letty loves Uncle Walter!

Letty loves Uncle Walter!

Scat! Now go out and dig yourself

a nice big hole, Ethel May.

And fa 'm it'.!

Oh, Letty, dear. Call

the drugstore. I'm all out of-

Now, see here, my love. All I've got

to get through before 5:00 is...

a couple of hundred sandwiches, four dozen

stuffed eggs and a nervous breakdown!

And if you think- Oh, that reminds me!

You better plan on three more.

Iran into Bill Slawson and the Myers twins,

and, well, they heard about your picnic, and-

My picnic? I wonder how many I'd have

to make if you called it your picnic!

That's for you. The

phone's been hot all morning.

Miss Larkin?

I got a message for you.

Little Boy Blue

has blown his horn.

I can't hear.

Speak louder.

Has blown his horn.

Moo. Horn! Like on a cow.

And will ask

Miss Muffet to-

To sit on his tuffet.

Get outta here!

Must be for you.

Hello.

Good-bye.

Hello?

Yeah.

We've got to boil

the cabbage fast.

- Uh-huh.

- Signed-

Prince Charming.

Prince charming. Isn't that sweet?

Oh, Meryl! Leave my

sandwiches alone.

Okay.

Oh, shame on you.

Well, I gotta eat.

Why aren't you down at the store?

Mmm. Been fired.

That's swell.

Four jobs in three months!

Huh-uh. Five, counting that

time I run over that speed cop.

Hey, how's about loaning your

cousin a couple of smackeroos?

Oh, beat it, Meryl. You got

five the last time. Okay.

Hello, Ethel May.

Hello.

Hey, Meryl. You think you

could take a picture of me?

Sure.

For a couple of bucks.

All right. But could you?

Sure. it's a cinch.

Is there enough light in here? Sure.

Walter says it's a special lens.
