important question.

with her in the garden, a wave of un-
expected courage swept over him,
and he begged for kiss.
you may have just one," answer
ed the maiden. But, remember, a
kiss may mean many things. On the
lips it signifies all or nothing; on the
hand it shows respect, and on the
forehead friendship. Choose which

Horace, with his eyes on the
ground, thought the matter over
carefully, though nervously. He was
reused at last from his meditations
by soft sigh.
Raising his eyes, he beheld his d.
vinity with her hat pulled down over
her forehead, her hands deep in t.
pockets of her jacket, and her re i
lips puckered as she sighed.
Horace guessed-and guessed
