Watching the dial of a taxi-cab is like a fall on a slippery pavement. It is funny, only when the other fellow suffers. But Dada Newlywed is a game little father, and when he found that it tickled Snookums to see the numbers flash, well, he just wouldn’t let his little darling howl and so he and that beautiful wife just rode around all the afternoon with the precious one. Once or twice they thought they would quit, but Snookums set up a howl, and so back they climbed for another little ride. Finally Dada had a brilliant thought, and so he told Mr. Chauffeur to drive into the country. And what do you think? When they were out about five miles, Snookums, the little bunch of sweetness, went to sleep. And was Dada going to take chances on his waking up again, not on your life! He might want to see those numbers flash some more, and so Dada planked down forty odd simoleons for their “joy ride,” and he carried “Snookums” back to his little trundle bed.
