The SCRATCH PAD

In view of the bone dry law, it is
impossible for the sailors to get "half

Patriotic Americans are hoping
that it will be possible to get the boys
IN the trenches by Christmas.

Matrimony is a great institution,
and it is in a purely technical sense,
and not with any carping intent that
we remark that if it wasn't for the

is perfectly logical that peanuts
should double in price, though the
man who gets only a dozen or so for
a nickel now may be inclined to doubt
| it.
So far the anti -conscriptionists

there is an abundance of clothes line

,at the club that Henry decided to
take the step which thousands of
young men had taken before him, but
which is always new. 1t had taken
him long time to make the moment
Gus decision, not because Of any
doubt in his own mind, but because
of his fear of the doubt in Nancy's
mind. For he believed she consider
ed him old-fashioned andout Of date,
and that she tolerated him only be-
cause of the kindness of her heart.
He was silent during the drive
home after the dance. A late moon
was shining, casting long shadows
over the road; a hint of approaching
autumn was in the air. Nancy, sens
ing his desire to be quiet, and, for
once, not insistent upon taking the
wheel, responded to his mood. Hard
ly word was spoken during the two
mile drive to Newton, but when Nan
cy alighted from the car Henry fol-
lowed her and stopped for a moment
in the shadow of the porch.
Nancy spoke first.
"Won't you sit DOWN." she asked.
81 guess not" Henry had difficult
ty in recognizing his own voice. Of
I'd like to say something to you"
She glanced at him curiously.
"What have done now to dis
please your" she asked.
Nothing" There was a brief
pause, and then Henry took the
plunge. II love you," he said.
1t was the poet in Henry that had
spoken. The words themselves reach
back to the beginning Of life, but in
each repetition a new world of hope
and love are born. And Nancy Earle,
new-fashoned in all other things,
suddenly found herself old-fashioned
in love. For she laid her hands on
Henry Blauvelt's shoulders and let
him read the answer in the depths Of
her eyes.
And Henry, inexperienced as he
was in the art Of courtship, did the
right thing in exactly the right way.
For the first time in his life he kissed
a girl. But it was prefectly fitting and
proper-for they were engaged.

For instance, one day she came In
with a special list Of men members OF

ed me to send to each name on the
list copy of the game law bulletin.
Another day a number Of men were
sent the new tariff regulation.
"She was also very careful to tell
me at times that certain of her nus
bands speeches in congress should not
be sent to his home papers. Particu-
larly was she anxious that nothing
more than necessary should be print
ed about his contemplated flop to
the liquor interests.
"As it happened l did not need to

mentioned this fact rather crisply t
Bob, and the official introducer, once
brought to his senses, hunted up
Nancy and introduced her to Henry.

about being honored.

nounced. give been wanting to speak
to you about tennis racket. l bought
it at your store only two days ago,
and yesterday string broke. Do you
think can get new one for it?"
Henry assured her hastily that he
would take up the matter himself. He
felt a sudden sinking of the heart
when he discovered that she was a
tennis player, but one look into the
depths of her eyes made him forget
full of everything except the fact that
she was the prettiest girl he had ever
seen.
That was the beginning Of three
months battle between Henry's
ideals and Henry's ideal. Nancy was
not at all as he had hoped her to be.
Whenever he took her for a spin in
his gray roadster she insisted on driv-
ing: whenever he engaged her in a
game of tennis she insisted on beat
ing him, and the first time that he
saw her in her riding clothes left him
weakly gasping for breath.
According to all logic, Henry
should have tired of the girl who rep
resented the exact opposite o fall he
considered proper and fitting in wo-
man. Occasionally he grew discour-
aged, but never tired. Something
about the blue of Naney's eyes, about
the music of her soft voice and the
ripple Of her laughter charmed him.
The more he saw Of her the more he
wanted to see her; and the business
of Blauvelt & Son went sadly neglect
ed.
Henry's life was a mixture of joy
and gloom. Whenever Nancy smiled
at him he lived for brief moment in
Utopia, and occasionally, when Nancy
indifferently told him that she had
already promised somebody-or-other
that he might take her to a dance,
Henry received a very vivid impress
sion Of what hades might be.
But when the summer had almost
worn away he resolved to ask Nancy
to marry him. He had long since
changed his opinions regarding wo-
mans place in the general scheme Of
the universe; he smiled happily when
Nancy demanded the driving seat in
his car, and when she defeated him
numerically in tennis he ventured a
feeble joke about 1t being love
game, and let It go at that. Only one
thing mattered-the light Of Nahcy's
eyes and the soft touch Of her hand.
It was after the late summer dance
