Men Succumb to Flattery

As briefly as many pages can be
translated, your letter says that
your brother met girl who
claimed to have fallen in love with
him at once. Men succumb-this
is an aside, not part of the letter
to fiattery like that. He courted.
She seemed i'll, but refused to see
a physician. Then she had nervous
prostration and told your brother
that his lack of attention to her
caused it
They married. And 1t was dis
covered that she had consumption
all the time and knew 1t, which ex-
planned her unwillingness to con,

youthful affections. And thought that
maybe IL the minister had sort of
slipped up and labeled her Betsy Ann,
or Maria, or something, could give
Cupid a slap on the wrist and tell him
to go home and clean his wings.
But It's Juliet. Not Julie. or Julia,
but Juliet. It's all up. I'll have to
make a crash with the fair money
changer or lose my sunny disposition.
Look at her. The name fits like the
paper on the wall. But why is it the
ice pitcher for mine every time?
Just think Of It? Juliet! Who said
there was nothing In a name?

Eight men in high hats, presumably
Frenchmen, to judge from the country,
loomed suddenly against the Paris
green sky, four advancing to the center
from one side of the field and four from
another.
Not a Frenchman loomed on either Of
the other two sides Of the field.
Meeting. the men nodded, rs. though
acknowledging an appointment kept. 1t
took eight mods to make the thing COM

Forty PAGES
The first four men solemnly turned
their backs and measured forty PAGES
from the center of the field. 1t aver
aged ten PAGES each.
The second four, not to be outdone,
measured forty PAGES in the opposite
direction. Altogether, it made eighty.
Only six men returned to the center
of the field. The other two were left
at the end of each set Of forty PAGES.
