face Of a young fellow leading a thea
ire box party? / have, but dismissed
the subject with the thought that per-
haps the footlights hurt his lamps or
that he had eaten some fancy food
that had not gotten in comfortably
with him. Now 1 know the reason.
You know. anybody can give a box
party If he can get by with the boy
who passes out the seat checks at the
little window outside the main en-
trance. Here's how my trouble began:
A friend of Gertrude's dropped in on
her for a visit She's from a small
town In the west near where fathers
farms are located. Say, don't want to
start telling about her. for If did I'd
use up all the writing paper have in
my desk. She's simply a Queen-youTH
notice have UNDERSIGNED the word.
She's been to finishing school and has
all the big league curves, with just
enough Of the rural freshness TO make
fellow wish he could hang around
her forever. Honestly. she had me at
the ropes after the first gaze, and l
am not easy to crush, either.

l had been trying for weeks to induce
Gertrude to go to play with me, but

ness, always got on the wire, and
grabbed the plan, never failing to have
a previous engagement framed.

hood and her powers to influence men
I have known men who hurled a
rolling pin at their wives when they
attempted to plant a smacker on their
cheek on greeting them at the door on
their return from work. OF course,
conditions may alter cases. 1 have in
mind an instance close to home. She
was dainty and pretty. He was rough,
but honest She was affectionate and
made no concealment Of the fact. He
had a good heart, but he did not ap-
prove of OSCILLATION as a manifestation
of his love. Theirs was an ideal court
ship until the difference over the kiss
arose. One night they were seated
cooling in the parlor of her home, with
the family cat snoring on the rug be-
fore them, and the wood cracking in
the fireplace; light low; a canary
warbling its goodnights in it's cage
that hung just beyond the parlor en-
trance; fond parents in retirement for
the night; watts of springtime from
luscious roses in the vase on the table
(they had set him back S2.50). He
had his grapplers about her tiny waist,
and was telling her how much his corn
crop would bring Their lips had never
met. She sighed as she laid her head
upon his manly shoulders, and raised
her rubies in an offer to seal their
mutual protestations of love. To her
surprise, he repulsed her, and set out
on a lengthy sermon on the danger of
transferring infectious bacilH. She
took that his inference was that she
had been peddling her kisses among
other men, and it broke her heart al
most. In his big-hearted way he sought
to explain, but he failed to convince
her. They separated, the engagement
was broken, and both are single still.
That was years ago / am the girl.
He is the man with the long beard.
So 1 say that my experience is that
men do not value kisses so highly as
my New York sister appears to i'm
agine that they do. Please do not I'M
derstand that my lover rejected my
caresses because he did not like my
looks, for 1 have long been acknowl-
edged to be one of the handsomest
young women In our pretty little viii
lage. AS proof of this, I am enclosing
one Of my latest photographs, although
must say that my photographer did
not do me full justice. He treated my
beautiful hair miserably, and you'll
notice that there is not the brightness
in the right eye that there is in the
left My eyes are one of my chief
charms, SO my men friends say. OF
course the women are naturally en-
vious Of me, although the most of those
that 1 mingle with have no occasion
to be. I did not mean to inf1ict you
with discourse on my personal beau
ty, but wish simply to make my point
concerning the men. We girls should
be more reserved, and not make the
mistake OF causing the men to think
that we are running after them. Be
calm, dignif1ed and careful; always
look your best; always parade in your
true colors, and steer clear from arti-

Unexpectedly that neglected 10 figure
the cost, and was hooked. We chose
the attraction that we were to see, and
there the matter rested temporarily.
OF course, it would have been i'm.

It's all going out and nothing coming

Never. That was too reasonable IN

their opera things, and I was forced
to crawl into my borrowed and over

late, have an appetite, and can drop
in on the home stretch and get pretty
fair satisfaction for two bits. Don't
understand that / have never been on
the theatre party lay before, but it
was my first experience as the host.

a different story. The feed was an

NEW WASHINGTON SPEECH.
Jimmie is years old. He is a pu-
pill at Lincoln school. His teacher
announced during the week that there
were to be exercises in her room in
commemoration of the birthday ami
versary of George Washington, the
father of his country, and she proceed
ed to tell the children something of
the great statesman and patriot to
whom the country was to do honor on
the 22nd of February. She wanted
each of her pupils to have a few re-
marks to make on the life Of the great
man.
Jimmie, on returning home after
school that day, consulted his father.
What do you know about Mr.. Wash,
ington, papa?" the little fellow inno-
Gently asked. after he had told what
was expected Of him at school next
day.
why, Jimmie" answered father,
looking over the top of the evening
paper, George Washington was the
maker of our country. Lincoln saved
our country. and Rockefeller owns ="
Jimmie took father seriously. Then
father took Jimmie on his knee and
told him several incidents in the life
of Washington.
Next day the school room was dec
Grated in the national colors, and jim
ME was awaiting his turn. Presently
1t came.
George Washington made our coun-
try; Abraham Lincoln saved our coun-
try, and Rockefeller owns our coun-
try" and Jimmie Topped back in his
seat.
Mortified, and holding a handker-
chief to her face to conceal a broad
smile from her pupils, the teacher
finally was able to take on a stern
countenance and inquire Of Jimmie
where he got his information.
''Why, my papa told me-" he replied,
land my papa knows. because he's
been here longer than you, and he
knows all about those great men,"
Then Jimmie told his father of the
incident at school. Now father appre-
ciates that his boy Jimmie has a pref
ty good memory for recalling things
that he ought to forget, and therefore
he will be more careful in the future
in furnishing information to his little
son for use at school
