BAT 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; 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.
al guess not" Henry had difficult
ty in recognizing his own voice. d
I'd like to say something to you"
She glanced at him curiously.
"What have I done now to dis
please you?" she asked.
Nothing" There was a brief
pause, and then Henry took the
plunge. 81 love you," he said.
It was the poet in Henry that had
spoken. The words themselves reach
back to the beginning Of life, but in
each repetition new world of hope
and love are born. And Nancy Earle,
new-fashioned 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 courtshlp, 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.

THE DAILY
SHORT STORY
The New Fashioned Girl
By HARRISON CHASE.
DY IIEAINAtIIJV4N OAA1AAy1..
downright, 1917, by the Mcclure
NaRspaper SYndicate.l

copyright, 1917, by the Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.)
FANCY EARLE was new-fash-
IN toned girl with an old-fashioned
y name. She believed in woman
suffrage and THE power Of mind over
matter. She played tennis and rode
horseback, and the skirt Of her bath
ing suit was so abbreviated that her
father questioned its rigth to be call
ed a skirt. Nancy dabbled somewhat
in higher thought, and her hard
working dad once remarked that IN
ten years she would be president OF
every club in Newton. When she
reached the age Of twenty-five Nancy
had doubts that such thing as love
existed. But that was before she
knew Henry Blauvelt.
Henry was something OF poet,
although his verses were always re-
turned from the magazines with
automatically worded and neatly
printed rejection slips. Poetry was
for him, moreover, a side issue, and
he could afford to be cynical when
ever a regretful editor told him that
the return Of his manuscript did not
necessarily imply lack Of merit.
Henry was the "Son" in the firm Of
Blauvelt G. Son, the most prosperous
department store in town, and every
week he drew $50 from the firms
profits and proceeded in spending a
good part of it in purchasing the
most expensive sets Of poetical works
he could find.
Henry besides being something Of
a poet ,&was also slightly old-fashion-
ed in regard to his consideration. of
the gentle sex. To him "a girl resem-
bled a piece of priceless china which
too much handling would break. He
believed that a girl should spend a
greater part of her time at home, ana
that golf, tennis and such sports were
for men and not for women and that an
automobile was as safe with woman
at the whel as was a locomotive with
out an engineer.
And the fact that Henry Blauvelt
fell in love with Nancy Earle was as
much Of a surprise to Henry as 1t was
to the rest of the town.
1t happened one sunny afternoon
at the Country Club when Henry was
sitting in the cool shade of the big
yeranda. No one was with him., and
he was deeply concerned with the
problem of spearing an elusive cher
~ with straw when the club mes
senger strobe by, announcing tele-
phone call for Miss Nancy Earle. The
boy called so loudly that Henry spill
ed some lemonade on his new flannel
trousers, and while he was ruefully
contemplating the disaster, Nancy
herself came strolling by.
Nancy had been attending a meet
ing of the tennis committee and was
dressed in some kind of fllmy white
material which showed off to perfec-
ton the roses in her cheeks. AS she
passed the gaping Mr.. Blauvelt she
looked as sweet and as old-fashioned
as her name.
Henry Immediately fell in love
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1917-06-08

with her. He thought vaguely that
he had seen her before somewhere,
as he probably had, a score of times,
and he searched his mind whereby he
might find a plan which would lead
up to an introduction. Newton, how
ever, is rather small village, and
before the afternoon was half over,
Henry discovered that at least ten
of his acquaintance knew Nancy
Earl intimately.
He decided that Bob Melvin should
do the honors. Calling Bob aside, he
explained that he wished to be intro
duced to Miss Earle, and Bob, know
jng the characteristics Of both Henry
and Nancy, laughed SO loudly that
several of the older club members
glared at him Indignantly and threat
ened to have him reported to the
chairman of the house committee.
Henry failed to see anything to
laugh about in his simple request. He
