When a certain man who only a
year or two ago was one of the popu-
lar 'rah-rah' boys, sees a young lady
whom he particularly admires, he gets
up his courage and makes the state
ment that he would like a couple Of
dates with that girl.' Some one
often makes the remark that he might
wish TO call the third time. but he
always says. Nothing doing" 1t is
suspected that he has heard the the
DRY advanced by some. and believed
by few, that if a man calls three
times on girl, she can marry him if
she wishes. and he is always playing
safety first"
