The latest thing in the way of hoy
| story which has reached the ears Of
the Atchison Globe: A mother asked

grown" he replied, land how much I
look like ma, and how you've got lit
| tie boy at home just my age, and then
ask me how old I am, whether go to
| school, how I like my teacher, and
what I'm going to do when I am a
man. Then say you regret you haven't
a penny in your pocket for me-"
| Writes Tom Thompson in his How
ard Courant: The other day heard
a woman criticising a girl for chasing
| the boys The woman said a girl
should be reserved and modest, and
should 'lay back on her oars SO to
speak, till the boy came along and
chose her. That sounds all right and
| old fashioned. But, now to be honest:
Isn't a girl just as rightly entitled to
| the boy she wants as the boy is to the
! girl he wants? Must a girl fold her
! hands and see a nice boy go by, when
! by little smile, perhaps a wink, and
/ certainly by little chin-taffy she can
string him on her line. and If she
doesn't want him for keeps, at least
| try him out and see what's in him
Being wide awake and up-to-date
means just as much to the girls as it
does to anybody else. You may call it
''boy chasing" or anything you like,
! but me for the girl who has the nerve
| to reach out after an attractive boy
and get him.
