At first the Girl and Mamma used
Finesse with their Flattery; but they
soon began to lay IL on with a Trowel.
They told him he was the Boy Wonder
Of the Business World, a future Cap
tain Of Industry and a "My-but-your-
mother must proud of-you." Pa had
him out 10 Lunch and Asked his Ad-
vice once on a Business Deal.
OF course, the Inevitable Happened.

the Brick.
Now, according to the Young Chaps
way Of Figuring, he was Bestowing his
hand and his Worldly Goods upon the
Girl; and he was Marrying Her, not
the other way around. He knew he
was a Good Catch and that certain
Jealous Mammas weren't entirely

ignored his Suggestions as TO how the

Magnanimously Waived his right to

OF what a Knockout he would Score
in front Of the Minister.
There was a Knockout alright, al

the Chief Attraction he was a mighty

Squeeze he was an Excellent Poor

Now what happened TO his Hatred

quite Another Story. But there is no
