IT IS a friendly town, where the Rotary meets on ‘Wednesday and it tolerates no pomp or circumstance. When the Lunts’ man ager called from the Pacific coast some time ago, the station master’s wife cheerfully informed him that she had just seen Alfred go up the street. “I think he’s on the way to Harold Green’s,” she added. “I'll call you when he gets there.” Which she did.

keeps a scrapbook labelled “The Artistic Progress of Alfred Lunt.” It is a crowded decument. The Lunts live in a Swedish manor house set on a low Wisconsin hill. For 20 years, the house was never locked. Not long ago, some knave broke in and pilfered a sack of potatoes, so now the Lunts close the pantry door when they go away for the season. Mr. Lunt is a farmer. He farms with his sleeves rolled up and proudly offers his guests foo picked from the vine. Mrs. Li likes to fish. She has a tame chipmunk named “Percy” and a squirrel named “Butch.” She takes care of the beehives, pigeons and a large flower garden. Also, she makes the round of farm auctions where she buys. tractors, cultivators, spraying machines, cream separators and manure spreaders.

Once, they even rode around the circus track, both of them in spangled tights, on the head of an elephant. It was their big moment.
