ADVICE ABOUT A GIRL
ey ADELE cRAMEE.

The young man who seemed very
much at home in the easy chair leaned
over and deliberately pulled hail
from the back OF the fat poodle that
was asleep on the rug. He leaned bach
smiling III great contentment over the
result of his feat and spoke through
the canine din. II had particular
I reason for calling tonight" he an
nounced.
The pretty girl turned over a book
on the table to conceal her nervous
ness. "Oh, did you?' she asked with
elaborate carelessness. How could
you be so mean to poor old Fido?"
He needs exercise" explained the
young man. Nothing like exercise TO
take off fat--i1l bet he hasn't chased
around that way in year before! AZ

ticularly, Emeline / wanted to ash
you about something"
Il am sure" answered the pretty
girl with great Kindness, that any ad
vice can give you will gladly"
That's just IT." he declared Gag
erly. Il want your advice"
oh" said the pretty girl shortly
She seemed disappointed. II thinh
after all it is sort of foolish to ask ad
vice, don't you? People ask 1t anc
then never take it,"

swallowed hard. "Of course I'm inter

But"
she's a dandy girl" insisted the
young man. He smiled reminiscently
and the young woman took hold OF hef
chair arms hard. She had the general
air of dynamite bomb that IL about

"In fact" he went on, II don't know
another girl who is such an all around
success in every way as she is! III;
have to tell you about her so you car
understand the case"
"Pleast dot" said the young womaD
In appropriately rapturous tones-be'
tween her teeth.
"She is better than just pretty" ex'
planned the young man. Because
there Is intelligence In her face and
expression and all that. And she can
do everything-outdoors as well as In,
| and she is always cheerful and she has
such way of looking at a fellow"
"Goodness!" said the pretty girl
with tremendous raillery. Il never
heard of such paragon! II you can
find girl like that you ought to grab
her, quick, before the grand rush be-
gins! For there aren't many like her!"
That's what ! think" the young
man agreed. 1--WE thought so all
along, just to myself, you know. I've
been sure, but didn't realize 1t until
lately"

old, and ] can't sit up much later this
evening. My advice would be to marry
her tomorrow before the crowd begins
to fight for her."
"Good!" said the young man. That's
my idea exactly. Only I'm afraid to
tell her about it. You see, she's such
wonder that it's absolutely insanity
for me to fancy that she'd look at me.
Honest! / haven't the nervc!"
"Nonsense!" said the young woman.
She's probably crazy to get married.
These popular girls usually are. They
have no resources within themselves
and can't imagine anything else to fili
their lives! When there are so many
other things so vastly superior to
mere matrimony! / can't understand
their point of view!"
"She wouldn't look at me-" he re.
peated.
Il wouldn't be so sure," said the
young woman cynically.

The young woman sat looking at
him with bewildered pink creeping
over her face. "O-o-oh!" she gasped
under her breath. Then she smiled at
him. 'I-er--wouldn't be too certain
