Bungalow Brevities
Vol. I, No. 2
Atlanta, Georgia, Aug. 23, 1927.
The weather has been delightfully cool for several days, and sometimes cooler than that. Sunday morning the thermometer went down to 58°, the coldest for this time of the year for 11 years and exceeded but once in 40 years. Saturday morning it was 2° higher.
The editor woke up frozen as to the pedal extremities both mornings, and it took him about a half hour to thaw out.
The editor recently purchased 1 can of Propert's English Saddle Soap at the Post Exchange @50¢ per can. It was noted in one of our exchanges that the editor's esteemed wife purchased 2 cans in Boston at an unknown price.
Sporting News
Sun Dial Column
I record only the sunny hours (good scores)
B.W.P. visited the Piedmont course Sunday and made 44, 46, 44.
Our policy "All the News that's fit to print" prevents our publishing B.W.P.'s score at Black Rock on Saturday and at Piedmont on Monday.
Social Notes
The editor wore his snappy blue gray spring suit to Colonel Major's [something] party.
The Danforths are moving to the 1050 Ponce de Leon Apartment, corner of Highland Ave. They would not take a raise in their rent.
Children's Page
According to one of the Department Store ads school starts 3 weeks from yesterday i.e. Sept. 12.
Daddy rode with Major Hickok and the two boys yesterday in their new Marmon straight 8. It is a wow. Daddy was surprised to see how the boys had grown. Marion Lambert seems to have grown a good deal.
Edgar Waddell caddied for Daddy a few days ago.
There was some sort of a party at the Kuhlman's several days ago. I think it was for Dot.
I hope Roger is learning to swim with his eyes open.
Automobile Notes
The Buick developed a bad knock suddenly Saturday night when the driver stopped to listen for a slight noise in front of the Keown's house. Without coming out Mr. Keown said without hesitation that it was a burnt connecting rod bearing. Repair cost about $12. The driver took it to a garage the next morning but most of the knock had gone. It turned out to be only a stuck exhaust valve. Mr. Keown telephoned to the garage to find out about and was very much surprised as well as pleased when he learned what the trouble was. When the trouble developed the editor was on his way home from the Boulevard Theater where he had been to see "It," starring his favorite vamp, Clara Bow.
Love, Courtship, and Marriage.
Love and kisses to all,
The Editor
P.S. Have not been able to find the book with Roger's story.

1.
This is a stop in the Tour of pages that that are somehow related to The Fernbank News.
The brochure for this Tour is at:
I think this was the last Bungalow Brevities. A pity.
2.
The editor recently purchased 1 can of Propert's English Saddle Soap at the Post Exchange @50¢ per can. It was noted in one of our exchanges that the editor's esteemed wife purchased 2 cans in Boston at an unknown price.
You can find Propert's Saddle Soap (proudly made in the U.S.A.) on Amazon.
3.
Daddy rode with Major Hickok and the two boys yesterday in their new Marmon straight 8. It is a wow.
I found an ad for the Marmon Straight Eight Sedan on ebay. It had a roof (unlike the used Buick that Will had just bought) and the price for the car was $1,395.
4.
I hope Roger is learning to swim with his eyes open.
This is a response to news of Roger's swimming prowess in: Roger continues to make progress in swimming but still swims with his eyes shut. To-day he swam in the surf, trying it both with the waves and against them. He swam about 40 ft. Sunday. He says he can do the crawl but his arguments are not convincing. A.G.S.
5.
When the trouble developed the editor was on his way home from the Boulevard Theater where he had been to see "It," starring his favorite vamp, Clara Bow.
"It" came out in 1927, and was silent. It was such a big deal that even I had heard of it.
