DROP THE HANDKERCHIEF

boy with the dark eyes and the en-
trancing wave in his hair!
1 thought about him all day, and
dreamed about him ali night, and he
never looked at me at all-he was
dead in love with a little bit of a
mouse of a girl who was afraid of her
own shadow, and who never looked
at a flower at all, unless she was go
ing to tie a piece of grass around the
middle of it and make it into some
kind of a doll
We went to a party one Towering
day in May. Oh, the soft breeze that
stirred the apple trees and sent the
pink petals down on our very heads!
And we played drop the handker.
chief out in the orchard. The idol
had the handkerchief, and started to
run around the little ring under the
Towering trees.
oh l thought. IF he should drop
the handkerchief at my place, what
must I do, pretend to run and then
stumble, Or The handkerchief fell
at my heels, caught my breath in an
agony of delight, started to run.
stumbled, screamed, "Oh, Billy Evans!"
looked around and the boy who had
caught me and was kissing me was
not Billy Evans at all, but another boy
entirely. l had been so engrossed with
my day dream of the idol that didn't
know what was happening. And had
betrayed my hearts dearest secret to
the whole party.
Il shall never get over IT" thought.
My whole life blasted / think shall
go home and be a recluse and have
my meals brought to me in the cellar
from this day on" I shall never forget
how surprised I was to find myself
laughing two or three days after that.
Reprehensible, wasn't it? Shocking.
And yet somehow / can't be half as
Mortified over those kissing games out
in the orchard as suppose l should.
Let's see. there's Alice, and Grace.
and Martha and Julia and Dorothy;
they all played kissing games-and
loved to play them, too-and yet they
are all sweet and lovely women now.
There was Bidwell and Herbert and

of them as yet has been in the peni-

Perhaps kissing games were differ
ent in those days; perhaps the grown
people who watched US play them and
who laughed at all our foolish little
love affairs were different, too. II
seems to me they were.

days knew quite so much about what
the teachers love to tell of as the

MADE HIMSELF BLUSH.
Trick by Which an Actor Achieved Q
Realistic Stage Effect.

Realistic stage Enect.
Daniel Frohman in his Memories
Of a Manager tells of a muscular
trick by which Mr.. F. f. Macksy
achieved an astonishing stage effect
1t was in Bronson Towards zone OF
Our Girls" Mr.. Mackay was playing
the part of a French count. who, in
one Of the chief situations Of the play.
is slapped in the face with a glove
by an English officer. Mr.. Towards
idea was that the count should become
violent and furious at the affront, but
Mr.. Mackay contended that as he had
been shown In the play to be an expert
duelist and accustomed to danger he
was not likely to lose control OF him
self.
Mr.. Howard saw the point The re-
suit was that the Frenchman received
muscle. He stood rigid Only fash
Of the eye for an instant revealed his
emotion. Then the audience saw his
face grow red and then pale. This
was followed by the quiet announce
ment from the count that he would
send his seconds to the Englishman.
This exhibition of facial emotion be
trayed by the visible rush OF blood to
the actors face was frequently noted
at the time It was a muscular trick.
Mr.. Mackay put on a tight collar for
that scene and strained his neck
against it until the blood came. and
when he released the pressure and the
blood receded the effect was reached.

Mr. Rhodes passed through Atlanta
Tuesday Mr. Rhodes is known as an
authority on farming statistics, and was
asked concerning the present cotton sit
uation. He said: 1.-The Farmers union
has been instrumental in keeping quite
a lot of cotton off the market, yet
prices are not at all satisfactory and
had the millions of bales of cotton that
is being held off the market by the
Farmers union and those in sympathy
with our efforts been sold, cotton would
now possibly be as low as cents, which
would have been loss of more millions
to the south.
'"The sentiment brought about by the
report of a bumper crop caused a stam-
pede which was hard to check and
caused the organization to have to put
forth every possible effort to check this
onward rush to market Our success,
however, has left a sufficient amount
Of cotton in the hands of the farmer
If properly marketed yet to stimulate the
markets and secure better prices for
the remainder of the crop.
Much of the cotton now on hand was
