 ''It isn't. It's swollen"
 q never knew it was so pretty before," he continued.
 Its the swelling that makes it that shape" she explained. Tt will go down in time."
 "Edie, you little humbug, it isn't swollen at all!"
 She tried to snatch her hand away. q must say you haven't much sym pathy," she said. Let it go if there's nothing the matter with it."
 There is nothing the matter with it; that's why Pm keeping it."
 q cant see what my. wrist is to you.'
 'No? Suppose I was to ask for the hand?"
 "Charlie!"
 "Yes?"
 You What do you Why do you Oh, don't you think we had bet ter go on with our game?"
 Couldn't allow it, my dear. Your wrist is sprained. Besides, you haven't answered my question:"
 You shouldn't ask such silly ques- tions."
 ''Is it a silly question:"
 "Yes."
 And why?"
 Because because you ought to know the answer"
 "Ah!"
 Conversation became incoherent, except perhaps to Cupid. whose Ian guage it was. It was at least 15 minutes before English was spoken again.
 q wonder what the score was when we left off" said Edie with fine air of detachment.
 'Love-all," murmured Cupid to the rosebushes. q said I'd teach them to spoil my plaster"

Certificates of Deposit

It's handy way to put away a lit tie money when you do not care to have a regular checking account.
 You may have special funds for de- posit or you may want to put some away for special purpose, either soon or remote.
 We issue them payable in six months or more with interest at 5 per cent. These certificates require very little book keeping for us and we are glad to issue them Tn any amount.

 "A cousinly speech" she retorted. I'm sure I was very quick"
 Just see me knock the plaster off that chap there,' said Charlie, buoy antly, buzZing a second ball at the statue. His aim was true, and sec ond shower of plaster fell.
 Poor Cupid!" said the girl He ought to have netting put around him.
 "A lot better for the world if he had" said Charlie, promptly "Cynic! Who's wasting time now? What are you going to give me?" "Fifteen and a licking"
