you were marriedY
What kind of a vehicle was in your
courtship? There always Is a vehicle Of
some kinda buggy or a boat, or just a
sled to coast on In winter.
If Ii was a sled do you remember how
careful you were TO hold her on as you
went spinning down the snow-ciad hills?
And how you put your arm around her 10
keep her from slipping on the way up
again?
III It was a buggy do you remember how
the old horse used to saunter up and down
the green-walled lanes. stopping now and
then 70 nibble at the hedges or reach up
and pull a tender twig from an overhang-

you were so afraid she would catch cold,
that you had to hold her cloak on with
both hands.
The stars do not shine as bright nova
days, and there isn't anything like as
many.
Maybe It was a boat. An old water
soaked. water-logged craft with mill
dewed planks turning green. The oars
were heavy and clumsy and made big
blood blisters on your palms, but what did
YOU care when you were showing her how
strong and what a skillful oarsman you

the other shore. The overhanging cotton
wood trees shed fieecy cotton balls that
softly fell with long, graceful sweeps TO
and fro, and at last Uttered the surface of
the lappng water like a fall of summer
snow. Wasn't the current In the bend 50
swift that you found II unnecessary to
row? You took an oar and sat In the
stern beside her. The seat was so small
that IL was a beautifully snug fit. And
then she took the oar and tried 10 guide
the boat And you had TO put your arm
clear around her 10 reach that oar and
help her guide for fear she'd run the boat
into a bank of soft sand and sink. At
last, when the landing-place was reached.
how carefully You helped her ashore. How
frightened you were lest she'd get just
one splash Of water on those dainty little
boots!
Are you as careful-are you as thought
