The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1893-07-21

81 know. Well. you see. it is this
way: Young Coldcash likes me I
know. but he is so awfuiiy bashful
that he could not get up the courage to
call. and. having brother of my own,
knew It would be simply ruineus 20
get up an intimacy with his sister,
So
$50 you got your brother to ask him
to come put IN the girl with the roses
in her belt
.'Of course I bribed Phil 20 do II
by getting Louise n invitation 70 Aunt
Kate garden party"
.-Weu?-
We'll. he did II and they got to be
great friends-I didn't Just want that,
You know, for every time I would be
getting a nice, quiet talk with him
that provoking brother would come
and drag him away, saying: Come on,
old fellow. | know you don't want to
waste SO much time on Sis. She'll talk
you 10 death if You let her Of course
he was too bashful to say he wanted TO
stay
How perfectly horrid. Why didn't
you tell your brother"
81 did; and the next time he said:
Come on, old fellow; l can see you're
diving to get away. and I'll make it all
right with Sis after you're gone.
We'll. never, hope you"
20 YES. got even with him. I didn't
waste any time on tears and reproaches;
l just asked Louise over TO stay all
night with me"
But don't see
"Why. goosie, his room IL next 20
mine, and we laughed and talked until
two o'clock He knows that l know all
about that little affair of his at college
last year, and he thought was telling
Louise about it and we were laughing
at him o, tell you, he was fairly
wild"
Tim glad to hear It Now, when nv
brother gets troublesome just ask the
girls he used TO be engaged TO to spend
the evening with me. OF course he has
TO take her home, and I nearly die Of
laughing over how awkward he feels. ="
What splendid idea. Still. brothers
have their uses-one learns from them
how to manage the other men"
Doesn't one? Now, for instance.
when they dine at the house how,would
a girl know that they were dying for
an after-dinner smoke if she hadn't
brother?'
Very true, and he would be cross
and they would fall 70 quarreling be-
fore they knew it
Mercy. yes. Then. too. you can find
out from your brother what they are
really interested in and it saves lot of
time not to have to feel your way from
Shakespeare to the race. and from poll
ties TO tennis to find what he wants to
talk about"
Indeed it does. It's awful. though.
il your brother gets mad and tells -"
Indeed il is; mine doesn't dare 20
now, though. he knows if he does viii
just tell Edith all about Fan You see,
he has told her that he never proposed
to any girl but her and-well, hap
pen to have a letter from Fan telling
me all about it
You are in luck. Why that letter
ought to be worth a couple OF bonnets
and an escort to several parties in
season
1T is. I've only TO mention il and
get what ever / want, though. of
course, I only use it in extreme cases :"
''Of course: he'd get accustomed to it
if you used it too often I do pity
Stella"
why? She has three brothers
II know, but they are none of them
in love and she can't do thing with
them"
But they will be some day. Well,
must go now-I've promised Phil to go
with him to select an engagement ring,
there's silver hairpin that | need
dreadfully-'
But the ring you select will never
suit Louise
20. that's all right He doesn't
know it. but l went 10 the shop with
her yesterday and she selected the one
she wanted. In return she is to use
her influence with Phil TO make him
get papa TO take back what he said 10
poor. dear Fred Good-by, dear
