"I-I-I-I have come. my lear MAIDEN.
l-I-l-I have c-c-c-come to ask for
your c--c-c-consent. I would like to
m-m-m-marry your beautiful son. Ed

Young woman. do you think you
can support my son in the n t"
which he has become accustomed: Or
do you want my son.. just because |
an n rich woman?"
II think ! ran s-S-s-support him.
Remember. he is somewhat frail
and can do no heavy Homework and
the pin money L allow him now
amounts to $o5 a week. 1t would be
A hardship for him to be deprived OF
any of the luxuries he now enjoys at
home.
II have considered all of that.
He has an automobile and driver
for his own use when he goes out to
make his afternoon calls on his young
gentlemen friends. He is tempera-
mental and takes no interest in the
running of the house. He cannon cook
dawdlinE over fancy work and china
painting"
II know all of that. but 1 still love
him and will cherish him and pro-
tect him. =.
His clothing is a great item of ex-
pense. His hats alone cost me a small
fortune"
You know men are Eighty and often
suffer from nerves. They are rightly
called the weaker sex and are becom-
ing more and more of a problem:
II realize that. but l have already
bought the ring for Edwin. All We
need Is Your consent"
What are YOU prospects?'
II am in the hide and tallow BUSH
ness with my mother and We have
prospered. Father and the boys spend

all of their summers at the sea
shore. Mother expects to be able to
spend more time with them in the flu
ture as she will retire from business
n leave me in charge of it. / will
give him a fine town house and n
trio limousine"
Il an, not particularly anxious to see
my son marry into the hide and tallow
business. but if he loves you. / sup
pose n objection on my part will be
useless. Young men often get foolish
notions in this regard. nowadays. They
are 30 romantic and unbusinesslike.
Are you the rattle brsined young wom-
an who has been, playing a mandolin
under his window every night n
sending him violets every morning.
II must confess that I am"
lde your proposal. But. don't elope
with him. II you do he will never
get one cent of my money"
II promise
Well, bring around your bank books
will look them over. Coco day,
I am very busy
o have made me the
happtest woman in the world. Good
morning.

ming race,
To see which one could devour his

Every n there. had. had hfS all.
Then shed allow she thought 40 how
Twas time for her to eat some now.
And t0>bake these cakes there'd be q

And she'd have to wait an awful
while
Before It was finally settled who

And grease the sriddle and carry 'em.
