Apple Pie Romances.

This is the season for pie s~ocials,
and many a youth is feeling the finan-
cial strain, says the Kansas City
Times. A pie social usually is held at
the schoolhouse to raise money for the
library. The girls bake the pies, and
always put on the packages some dis
tinguishing mark.
On the way TO the social the girl
will whisper to her sweetheart: Its
the n wrapped in white tissue paper
and tied with pink ribbons" Then it's
up TO sweetheart.
When the package in white tissue
paper and pink ribbons is held up by
the %auctioneer he bids so heavy that
the other boys understand and keep
raising the bid until the ~auctioneer,
filled with pity, calls time and knocks
the pie down to the financially ruined
one.
But the plunger feels amply re-
warded when he ~withdraws to a Sc
Guided corner with the maker of the
pie and eats it with her. Many a
romance has budded over a slice of
apple pie.
