nice little cut-throat Game. By the
time he got away from the Pirates ne
was due to show up and attend Morning
Service with the prospective Mother-in-
Law. He let on that he was keen for
good Sermon and he made an awful
Bluff at singing the Hymns that he had
not heard for twenty years. On Sun
day Afternoon he was due to meet
Brother Walt at the Country Club and
play him for a Ball a Hole. After
couple of Sundays Walt had enough
Haskels to last him Lifetime.
When he had hurried to his Room and
rubbed himself with Witch Hazel, he
would tear for the House, where the
living Book Review would be waiting to
ask him If he didn't think Dorothy Yer
non was better than Mary MacLane.
While he would be doing Foot-Wor and
side-stepping the Questions that were
calculated to show him up as a Howling
Ignoramus. the Real Thing would be sit
ting back waiting in vain for an Opening.
This went on for quite Spell. He had
been jolted at Poker, trimmed at Golf,
put against long Sermons right in Fly
Time and conned into reading AZ Books

to be making grand Headway with all
the members of the Out except the
One that he wanted to snare out into a

brace forever and ever.
After awhile he began to weaken on
the Scheme of playing up TO a whole
Cast of Characters. He wondered II it
would not be just as easy to love lone
Orphan.
She was Wise. She saw herself losing
a Good Thing. 1t was a shame to back
cap her own Tribe just when they were
pulling for her, but she had to do 1t. One
Night she fought off the others and lured
him into a Boat and there in the Moon
light she told how she had lived In the
same House with them for 10 Years and
how they were all right but they wouldn't
do.
TITS a mere Suggestion" she added,
but why don't you stop trying to make
these Around-the-Table Combination
Shots and pay a little more attention to
Birdie. You don't have to win out the
entire Family in order to book me. You
must be an Amateur"
Thereupon they Clinched and the Fam
lily dropped out of the Deal.
MORAL: Don't try to Marry an entire
Family or 1t may work out that Way.
