CoURTING A SPANISH GIRL
PROCEEDS ON ODD LINES
Nowhere Else in the World Is Gus
tom So Novel.


In no other country In the world does
the process in counting proceed on such
unique lines as in Spain In no other
country does love at first sight so fre-
duently lead to marriage. The young
unmarried girl Of good social position
never walks in the street unless accom-.
panied by chaperon, and It Is ouits
permissible for any man who is attracted
by her to follow her. He must not walk
abreast of her, nor ought he, on tbs
first occasion, to speak to her. Having
ascertained where she lives, II he il
sincere In his pursuit, he makes FREQUENT
appearances under the window, and cons
tinues to follow her when she and her
chaperon go out.
II the lady intends to respond, she will
presently make an appearance on tha
balcony and enter into conversation with
him. He may even talk to her when
she goes out, and her chaperon will turn
q deaf ear when the lady coyly throws
replies over her shoulder. In this some.
what extraordinary way each discovers
the social position of the other, and then.
II independent inquiries made by parents
and guardians are quite satisfactory, the
little Irritation from the balcony pursueS
an uninterrupted course, and the man
gradually attains q recognized positions
as his adored ones novio.
For months the bashful couple Will
linger at this pleasant stage. But az
length the times comes when the novio iS
received into the girls home and meets
her parents. He Is, however, never for
one moment left alone with her, and any
evening in the Castellano in Madrid yotr
may see young couples in this stage walk-
Ing out, accompanied by a deaf mute
lady! The tram cars in Madrid are con.
structed with seats for two on one side
OF the gansway, and a single seat on the
other; the single one is known as ths
chaperon's.
While these pleasant stages are drift1nf
on, either party is free to end the friend
ship, but at last comes the time whe,
the novio, plucking up all courage goe
through the formal ceremony of askini
for the lady's hand. If this is dull
granted, there Is then an official be. |
trothal. which is usually followed by 4
wedding within a few weeks.

The pattern gowns and robes that are

and he tried brown on a corner OF the
building. But brown was so dull he
didn't like it at all, so lie decided to
color the building red--red brick, of
course.
BY the time that was done the red
point was all worn off and Tommy's
father had to make new one. That,
of course, made the red pencil shorter,
but Tommy didn't care-he had his
red picturcs-what did the length of
the pencil matter?
Over and over, every day the same
thing happened!
The magazines became full of red
colorcd pictures, for Tommy colorcd
everything from canoes to garbage
cans the same gaudy color. And the
poor little red pencil grew shorter and
shorter, till it was only tiny stub,
barely sticking above the white case.
Then one night something happened
what do you suppose it was?
At the mystic hour of midnight,
when you and Tommy were both
asleep at the very hour when all
sorts Of queer things happen, those
crayon pencils began to talkl
ooh. dear, | don't see why nobody
likes me- grumbled the brown one;
"here | have never even been sharp
cned but once!" And he looked very
mournful as he aired his grievance!
Il wish I wasn't so popular
groaned the red pencil sadly. I'm
nearly worn to death with hard
usage"
Just then two little mice came
shopping round TO sec what they
could find to nibble. They heard the
red pencil speak, so they hurried UP
to see what he was like.
Mice soft wood, better try some

They nbbled away till the red pen
Gil was ruined, then they scampered
off TO the pantry in search OF some
thing more hlling.
And how do you suppose poor Tom

found his beloved red pencil all
ruined?

haps some foolish children will be disap-
pointed by their failure to see Made in

average American child will be as happy
as ever with his American-made boats,
dolls, guns and games.
To please the exceptional youngster VINO
won't be content without the foreign
kinds a shipp will sail to this country
every week bearing few toys of Euro
pean manufacture. The goods will be
shipped from the German factories to
Holland or Sweden and from the ports
of either of those countries the toys will
be shipped to New York.
So there is no reason to worry about
playthings while the troubles of school
are Just beginning. Santa Claus chief
assistant, the best known toy man In
Philadelphia, said today that of all things
that he has in stock tin soldiers are in
greatest demand.
While mothers and fathers are talking
of the terrible times in Europe, It is only
natural that the little ones should be
thinking of military matters. AS re-

Reflection of War on Toy
Market-No Scarcity in
Supply of Playthings of
All Kinds.

Here's good news for you, boys and
girls.
Expensive toys, which have been so
scarce since the war was begun, are now
to be had in abundance, and even IL peace
is not declared within FIVE years the
nursery will not suffer to any extent
On your dolls piano, your sled, or that
fine drum that YOU have been using for
many years you have noticed the words
Made in Germany" In fact on al
most all of your best playthings these
words appear.
But conditions have changed since the
European armies were assembled, and
printed in great, broad letters MADE In
America" And, by the way, Philadel-
phia boasts of the largest toy factory
in the United States.
When commerce between this country
and the German empire was discontinued
the toy merchants we're frantic. Their
business depended almost entirely upon
importations. Toys OF a certain kind
were plentiful enough here, but the deli
cate tin playthinss, dolls that make
speeches, and all of those things which
are typically German were not obtain
able here.
The American toy man is resourceful
He decided that, as far as possible, what
can't be had from Germany shall be
made in the United States. Consequently
many of the factories are now producing
goods that have hitherto been sold only
by German firms.
Perhaps the domestic product won't

MAJORITY MUCH REDUCED
Democrats Lose Many Seats in Lower
Z House of Congress Prob
ably Remain at Thirty.
REPUBLICANS GAIN 80 MEMBERS

Washington, Nov. s. Although
eighty-five congressional districts were
still unheard from, Democratic lead
ers here were confident that the adj
mtnistration would retain control of
congress, although the majority in the
house might be cut from it's present
strength of al to as low as twenty
five or thirty. After a conference of
national Democratic committee off,
cials at the White House with Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Tumulty
1t was estimated the Democratic ma
jority might possibly stand at thirty.
With the eighty-five congressional
districts missing the election of 1856
Democrats, 1872 Republicans and Pro-
gressfves was reported. The pres
ent complexion of the house is 1856
Democrats, 1923 Republicans, Is Pro-
gressives and 6 vacancies. The re-
turns showed gain of thirty-three
Republicans. 1t takes 21S for O ma
jority in the house, To fulfill the
prediction of Democratic leaders of a
majority of thirty it is necessary for
sixty-three Of the unreported districts
to be Democratic. They are claimed
by the leaders.

FOR HATCHERY
Game and Fish Commission Plans to
Equip Bemidji Establishment
Will Stock Lake.
MERCHANTS TO FINANCE IT

Although it was announced here
q week ago that Bemidji would not
receive the assistance Of the state
game and fish commission in the
placing of a fish hatchery at the War
field dam, F. S. Lycan, who has con-
Stantly urged its erection, today re-
ceived letter from e. w. Cobb, SUI
perintendent of fisheries, stating that
the aid of the board may be expected.
This means that the business men
of Bemidji who have subscribed to
the fund with which building will
he erected, will turn in the money
and the preparations will be made to
house the paraphernalia which the
commission will send. A man will
have charge of the hatchery during
the Matching season and the fry will
be planted in Lake Bemidji and sur
rounding lakes each year. assuring
that fishing will continue to be as
good during future years as is now
the CASE.
Mr.. Cobb informs Mr.. Lycan that
he has received permission from the
commission to equip the Bemidji
hatchery with jars. The building
will be erected by Bemidji and the
state will provide the necessary jars,
faucets and tubes.
The superintendent of ahatcheries
states. that building 15x22 is suffi-
cient for the care of 100 jars, but he
advises that a structure 42x26 be
built in order that room would be
provided for the placing of an addi-
tional battery and extra retaining
tanks, should they be desired at a
future date
Much depends upon what will be
done at the next session of the legis-
lature in connection with an appro-
priation for the game and fish COM
mission. If the appropriation is SUI
ficient the Bemidji hatchery will be
supplied with enough eggs to make
it's output Of fry equal to the ca
pacity of the establishment.
