Hello, Judge Barbee? This is
Gordon. Judge, I have a most impor-
tant commission for you. To-mor-
row morning, as soon as you go
downtown, I wish you would buy for
me the finest diamond ring there is
in Atlanta.--Yes, Judge. you have

lady's permission. But If you think
hard you can come pretty near nam
ing her. / will write to you as soon
as / have the proper consent to do

Gordon had a mighty hard time try
ing to amuse himself until bedtime
He tried everything on the calen-
dar, but the things that gave him
pleasure in the solitary years he had
spent in the mountains no longer
seemed to suit At last he picked
up a newspaper and through force
of long habit turned to the baseball
news.
Poor old Red Sox," he said aloud.
"WaIloWing around in the second di-
vision. But they're not out of the
race by any means. 7 would kind Of
like to get in the game at that. May
be | could help some Everybody
says ! could"
He threw the paper down and
walked aimlessly around the room
with his hands in his pockets.
Gordon, old boy, you're talking
foolish" he continued. you've got
enough on your hands to keep you
busy for awhile. But the trouble of
1t is you can't be with her all the
time and the hours you cant be with
her will drive you crazy, The Red
SoX can go to blazes. Ell, Gordon?
You bet your life they can"

friendly sympathy they brought the
subject up. she dismissed it. In spite
of secret tears, she had lent willing
hands to the decoration of the gym

quired I'VE have done all we can"
"Yes; we have finished"
In fiutter of anticipation Jean and
Helen put the final touches to their
task, while Mrs. Keap stepped to the

LOOSE CHANGE OUR CURSE
EngIishman Says as People We
Would Be Thriftier If We Car
ried Purses.

A visiting Englishman believes he
has discovered the reason for Ameri-
can extravaganza and English thrift.
He says that the difference in the
spending temperament of the two ma
tions is due entirely to the change
purse which Englishmen carry.
mo one whose money is constantly
jingling in his pocket can possibly be
economical" says the observer from
overseas. "On the other hand, the
man who has to open change purse
to get at his small coin is under con-
slant restraint. The extra effort neces-
sary to get at his small coins will
cause him to forego many opportuni-
ties for spending which his American
cousin would eagerly accept"
