HIS NAME WAS JOHN
BY STANLEY 3, HoUcK.

His name was John, despite the fact
that he was called Jack; and he was
q junior in college. Her name was
Marlory, and she was a senior.
Jack was sitting on the library steps
scheming means Of relieving himself
from self-imposed dilemma of which
he was on one horn and Marjory the
other.
She had started it three years be-
fore at reception where they had
met. Since then neither had lost any
opportunity of assuring the other Of
his undying affection In many varied
and amusing ways.
Now he wanted seriously to tell her
OF his love for her. but he had told
her of it SO often in fun that he
couldn't quite see any way of making
her take his declaration as being
made seriously in earnest and not
made merely in fun.
"A penny for your thoughts, Jack"
she said, brightly, when at last she
arrived.
Thinking about you, Marjory," he
replied. THE trouble is that I'm afraid
you'll cut me dead II tell you my
thoughts"
mo. won't"
All right Let's take q walk down
the river, and I'll think 1t over"
he decided, making q sudden reso-
luton.
As they went along he began to
wonder what the outcome Of it all
would be. The more he thought the
weaker his resolution became-there
was Marjory. the prettiest and most
perfect girl In the world. and on the
other hand, here was he. Just an or.
binary, average sort of q fellow.
At last they passed below the last
city bridge. and were alone by the
river away from all the noise and &C.
tivity Of the busy city.
Are you going to tell me nowr" she
asked.
mo. not yet" he answered, sparring
for time, but If you will tell me what
you were thinking about while we
were coming here, maybe I'll begin
to lead up to It,"
i was wondering whether this
would be the last time l would ever
take this walk. and you don't know
how sad 1t makes me feel to think how
soon my school days will be over for.
ever"
That's just what was thinking.
Marjory, and I was wondering how
1t would seem next year to take this
walk without you. Do you know, I've
never taken this walk with any other
girl but you? and when l think Of
you not being here next year, It makes
ne feel as though I'll never go down

began again: DO you remember the

Quainted?"
Do l? Well, should say did. I
don't believe two people ever became
so "chummy" in SO short a time az
we did; and you were just as impu.
dent as you could be, too
DO you realize that this Is the first
really serious talk we've ever had!"
he said.
Il do believe you're right, Jack; I
know I couldn't crack a joke today II
my life depended upon it."
Lets sit down on this tree trunk
awhile before we go back" he said
without replying.
For awhile neither spoke. Then he
said: "Marjory."
Yes, Jack"
Shall l tell you now what I was
thinking Of when you found me at the
library steps?'
"Of course; that's what we came
way out here for, wasn't it? 1t must
be something important, or you
wouldn't have come so far"
He turned his eyes upon hers and
they SO spoke in anticipation Of his
words that she instinctively felt what
he was about to say and a slow flush
crept up over her cheeks and her eyes
dropped from his. He noticed It. and
1t gave him an inexpllcable thrill Of
strength to say:
Il was wondering whether you loved
me, Mar5ory. dear; was wondering
whether could come back here again
nsxt year and be happy with you
gone was thinking how much
needed you. Why. I've loved you ever
since l first saw you, and every word
I've ever said to you In all our joking.
I've meant. and more, with all my
heart and soul. Why. I've got 80 used
to thinking belonged to you that I
haven't done thing all these years
without asking myself what you'd say
to 1t If you knew. I can't say any
more, dear. Just l love you. love you.
all the time. Will you tell me, now,
what you are going to do with met"
Then she raised her eyes to his
again. and they were glistening with
Joy.
"Oh. Jack, you dear. dear. big. blind
goose-you're worse than Cupid him
SELF" Then she was swallowed up In
q hungry embrace.

LATEST STYLE OF TEAcLoTH
Lovely Bits Of. cluny and insets Of
Filet Work Seen In Table
Linen.

Quite the latest teacloth shows a
plain rather than lace border. With
in the border is an Irish crochet inser-
tion, the center of the cloth having
hand embroidered design. The linen
is hand woven in the more expensive
cloths.
Another has a heraldic design of
lions in a heavy stitch. contrasting
with fine hand-drawn work.
The usual size of these fine cloths is
yard and a quarter. The best work
ers are put on them, and the satiny eff
feet of the embroidery on some, such
as a shamrock, thistle and rose raised
design, is produced by the merceriz-
| ing Of the embroidery. The simple de-
signs are as perfectly worked and cost
much less, according to the Indianapo-
| lis News.
Lovely bits of cluny and insets OF
creamy flet work we're seen on an
other kind of table linen. There were
much more elaborate designs, applied
| to deep, ivory toned teacloths, round
table covers and cushion covers. They
are somewhat wanting in neatness
and simplicity for good taste, bu
there is demand for them.
