JOHN HENRY M
ON COuRTING.
by HUGH MchUGH
GEORGE Y. HOBART

Are you wise to the fact tha4 every
thing Is changing In this old world Ut
ours, and that since the advent Of fuss
wagons even The old-fash!oned idea Of
courtship has been chased to the woods ?
II used to be that on Saturday even
ing the young gent would draw down
his six dollars worth Of salary and chase
himself to the barber shop. where the
Dago lawn trimmer would put crimp
In his mustache and plaster his fore
head with three cents worth OF hair
and n dollars worth Of axle-rrease.
Then the young gent would 20 out
and spread 40 cents around among the
tradesmen for a mess OF water-lilies
and 4 bag Of peanut brittle.
The lilies Of the valley were to put
on the dining.rom table SO mother
would be pleased. and with the peanut
brittle he intended TO fill in the weary
moments when he and his little geisha
girl were not making goo-goo eyes At
each other.
But nowadays Il Is different. and
Dan Cupid spends most OF his time on
the hot foot between the coroner's Of
nce and the divorce court.
I've got a hunch that young people
these days are more emotional and
like to see their pictures In the news
papers.
Nowadays when a clever young man
goes to visit his sweetheart he hikes
over the streets In 4 benzine buggy.
and when he pulls the bell-rope at the
front door he has rapid-fire revolver
In one pocket and . bottle OF carbolic
acid IN the other.
His intentions are honorable and he
wishes TO prove them so by shooting
his lady love II she ren!gs when he
makes . play for her hand.
! think the old style vas the best.
because when young people Quarreled
they didn't need an ambulance and =
hospital surgeon to help them
make up.
In the old days Oscar Dobson would
draw the stove brush cheerfully across
his dogskin shoes and rush with eager
feet TO see Lena Jones. the girl he
wished to make the wife Of his bosom
'Darling!" Oscar would say. Il an
sure to the bad for love Of you. Pipe
the downcast drop In this eye Of mine
and notice the way my heart Is bub.
bling over like bottle Of sarsaparil-
II on . hot day! Be mine. Lena! be
mine."
Then Lena would sigg!e. Not once.
but seven risgles. something like those
used In = spasm.
Then she would reply: No. Oscar;
II cannot be. Fate Wills II otherwise. -
Then Oscar would bite his finger
| nails. pick his hat up out Of the coal.
seuttle and say TO Lena: False one!
You love Conrad. the hoorwalker In the
butcher shop. curses on Conrad. and
we what yon have missed. Lena. I
