And then everybody knows that ia
nette Janerewski, who entertained
the ambitious Alphonsus way back
in the days of his grind at Bobby
Werntz's school, and for four full
years thereafter, was at home broken
hearted, playing something on the
pi-ann, which sounded like Good
Night, Dear, and "He Wonders
Who's kissing Me Now" or or,
say, and it is generally so Miss
Annapolis must start afresh and grab
another Youngster. "Crool, crool
fate! To blight the life of Miss Crab
queen in such fashion -
In Annapolis girl has two ambi-
tions one wouldn't do, nor couldn't t
do. The first is to attend the First
Class German with the MILDLY who has
been basking in the sunshine of her
smiles, and the second is to nab the
MILDLY who takes her to the German.
After that it doesn't matter.
When the ships sailed away last
summer it was depressing sight ex-
cept to the "cit." My! but how he
did wallow in his anticipations 1t
was a gorgeous smile he wore that
night. Visions of brass buttons, games
and hops were waited whence they
returneth not for months, and he be-
gan changing his neckties twice
day, and combing his hair in four
different styles, to say nothing of
,t1Nt ctr Of nI
oxfords. All winter he had been sing
ing "You Taught Me How to Love
You, Now Teach Me to Forget" but
his song of the soul was now You re
Mine All Mine"
And to tell the truth the cit did
have hard time winning back the
heart he craved, and just as he
thought he had it nicely under glass
and proceeded to throw sugar at it
who should come along but Mr.. Mid
shipman. Did you ever hear of such
a thing Perhaps Mr.. Citizen hasn't
been named "Grouch" for his middle
initial, but he looks like that or
Trouble" goes with his signature.
He had dragged the girl all sum.
mer to the pictures only to lose her in
anticipation of the strains from
that raggy Mendelssohn tune.
IF the United States Navy De-
partment would commission the mid
shipmen ensigns upon graduation, a
queen said to me, Annapolis girls
wouldn't have a bit of trouble in
holding them, because they have laid
their independence, but as soon as
they start on that probationary per-
iod, we have to sing Has Anybody
Here Seen Kelly. And then again,
we have to go up against the girl
back home the MILDLY goes back to
the old place and sees the little girl
that used to wear her hair hanging
down her back, now bedecked with
puffs and coronet braids, marvellous
queen to his eyes. Then, again, she
has stacks of money, leastwise, most
of them have. And then you can
guess the result AT first We might
get letter or two, and the first one
is filled with red blood, and then
later we get down to the picture pos
tai, so you can see they don't care
two cents for US. After while they
drop out of our lives, and later we
read of their approaching marriage,
and we try to tell ourselves that we
only went with them to take in the
hops and games, but
Miss Queen gave long sigh, and
Cupid rammed a couple of more
arrows into his culver and scowled.
1t meant disaster to the future MILDLY.
for the girl began to look over the
list of eligibles. When the first class
goes away the Annapolis uaidens
are sans MILDLY, sans hope, sans every.
thing.
If the Annapolitan maids wake up
to these facts and stick to the 'cits,
Boucher's and the Assembly Rooms
will reverberate again with dancy
strains and the lass and laddie of ole
Annapolis will begin to make love in
the old fashioned way as laid down
by Cupid, and Mr.. MILDLY will wake
up to the fact that unless be is con-
tent to marry the girl who is good to
him for four years his Academy days
in Crabtown will be devoid of life
and love, and Cupid will put his foot
on the soft, soft pedal
And now "Tessie, will you please
tell US through your admirable Bulle-
tin whether or not it is the "unwrit-
ten law" of the Navy that graduates
of the Naval Academy, when the en-.
sign period is up, are not allowed to
marry Annapolis girls. for one an

fifteen years would indicative
