There are woods and meadows all around us and babbling
brooks with flowers  at  the edge.  As we drive, the wagon
becomes  larger  and  larger.  Suddenly  it  is  a barn filled
with hay.  Everybody is square-dancing and having a good
time.  Each person  takes a turn calling the turns.  I  wake
up  laughing  so  hard  and  loud  I  have  to look around to
make  sure  I  am  home.  (C. N. E.,  Mount  Laurel,  New
Jersey)

      I  dreamed about circles, and sang "Let the Circle Be
Unbroken." (D.R., Independence, Kansas)

      I  am  starting on an ocean liner trip.  The ship is not a
first-class  ship,  but  perhaps  a second-class one.  I  have
paid for the trip but don't  know  what to expect in the way
of financial extras.  Everything takes place in a circle.  All
the chairs are  arranged  in  a circle on the main deck and,
with  brief  exceptions,  everybody  always  comes back to
this circle for the whole of the trip. There is one chair with
an arm-desk  attached  [as in school]  where one can work
on a potter's wheel. I think this is nice, except for the fact
that people will  be standing around watching you.  I  don't
like that,  nor do  I  much like the idea of being constantly
brought together with no more tune for the individual than
is allowed for.
      There  are  plenty  of  stewards  and  stewardesses on
board  to  attend  to  the  guests.  We  [there  are  several
people in my care]  have  a  steward meeting our needs as
well  as  a  number  of  other  passengers.  The  steward is
seemingly  sincere in his attention to us, but  I  feel it may
be for extra tips.  He  brings  a  large  bouquet  of lilacs to
me.  I  take them to my kitchen cabinet  [on board ship] to
look  for   an   appropriate  container.   I  have  four  large
containers,  like pitchers.  Three are clear crystal and one
a  clear  amber  color,  but  all  are  slightly  larger  than is
needed.  They are all  I have and  I think that one of them
will  do.   Then   I  notice  that  the  bouquet  is  really  two
bouquets  and  I  think  it  presumptuous  of me to assume
that  both  are  for  me,  although  the  steward did not say
