State Fair Page #9

---

- I never want to see another fair.

- You can say that again.

You meet a lot of people

who play you for a sucker

and have some laughs

at your expense.

When the fair's over, what?

Just chalk it up to

experience, I guess.

Sure, that's why you go

to a fair, experience.

Something new, different.

Yes, sir, the Frakes are

coming home in grand style.

You got your plaque,

I got the grand award,

we're all well and happy, and

Dave Miller owes me five bucks.

There you are. That's Melissa's

plaque for mincemeat.

And this is mine. First prize

for the best boar in the state.

So, you see, Gloomy Gus,

you lost your bet.

Nobody got sick and nothing

bad happened to any of us.

Only thing is, something might have

happened we don't know about.

None of that now.

Come across. $5.00.

- Lemonade, Mr. Miller?

- Yes!

Thank you, Mrs. Frake.

Believe I will.

Would have done your heart good

to hear 'em in church this morning.

Everybody talking about the Frakes

and all the prizes you won.

Well, that's nice.

See you later. I won't

be home for dinner.

- All right, son.

- Where are you going?

Oh, just for a little drive.

Did Wayne have a good time?

He looks a little down.

Had the time of his life,

far as I can make out.

Mr. Miller. Abel?

No, not now, Ma.

Headache better, dear?

How about you, Margy?

Did you have

a good time at the fair?

Answer that, Margy.

It's probably Harry for you.

Well, go on, dear.

Don't let it ring all day.

- Well?

- Let's not be hasty about this now.

Hello?

Doesn't anybody ever answer

the telephone at your house?

Pat! Oh, Pat!

Here? In Brunswick?

Oh, yes. Yes, I do. I do, Pat!

That's all I wanna know. 'Cause

you're going back to Chicago with me.

You're gonna be the wife

of a columnist.

Yeah. How do I drive

out to your place?

Where are you now? Is your car pointed

toward the hotel or the Elk's hall?

Well, get in and keep it

going in that direction.

Just keep going until you see me.

Oh, yes, and hurry!

Hurry! Hurry.

Margy, you didn't

answer my question.

Did you have

a good time at the fair?

Oh, yes, Mr. Miller! It was the most

wonderful fair in the whole world!

There!

You see? What did I tell you?

Margy! Margy!

That's Mr. Miller's car!

Well!

She'll be right back, I'm sure.

$5.00.

Oh, Pat!

Hi!

It's a grand night for singing

The stars are bright above

The earth is aglow and

to add to the show

I think I am falling in love

Falling

Falling in love
