a great, handsome, good natured,
honest hearted fellow, was. Charley
Winter, but so very bashfuI, that in
the presence of the gentler sex he never
could have told whether he was stand
m2leh his feet or on his head. Just
now his falling was Immensely aggras
vased BY 5the fact Ellat he was over
head and ears in love with Clarice
Wilmer, the sweetest, prettiest, most
bewildering little beauty in all the
region round about.
"Oh dear, wish knew. 8. way. to
telfmy love, and not be there myself.
Deuce take the girls they bether. you

go, what a spoony! Simply say you
love her, and ask her if she will make
you happy. Then face the music like
man, and meet her next time as if
nothing had happened-unless she
answers yes, and then, of course you'll
act ASH something had happened.
