The cave-man is up to his old
tricks.
A woman in London had a man
arrested the other day because she
said he acted like a roaring lion,
and she was afraid Of lions.
Moreover he was 80 years old. and
not particularly good-looking and
she was 25-and besides he was
married.
So she found IL good deal Of
nuisance TO have him jumping out
Of doorvays and bouncing into halls
and suddenly appearing at her ell
bow on muddy street crossings.
And telling her that he loved her
so madly that he was going 10 go
crazy II she didn't run away with
him, and declaring that he couldn't
eat or sleep and couldn't work and
couldn't think-all on account OF
her
The worst OF it was he said over
and over again that if he couldn't
have her, no one else could, and she
thought that was really too bad Of
him, so she went to court and asked
the Judge If he wouldn't please do
something about it.
The judge issued warrant ana
had the man arrested. and by this
time he is probably wishing that he
could get something to eat besides
prison food and had something be-
side a prison cot for a bed.
Girls Now Know Men.
What an awakening he must have
had when he found that the cave
man wooing he had heard so much
about didn't make the right impress
sion at all
Somehow, I wonder If those cave
men tactics ever really do make any
real impression. oh, I've heard
men tell about the women they
wooed and won by such performan-
ces, but I never have heard women
say very much about II.
The modern woman is a little bit
too wide-awake TO be completely
deceived by any such melodramatic
goings-on.
The modern girl knows men, NOT
as they'd like TO have her think they
are. but as they really are. She sits

They call him a nut" or "mut"

1t go at that. And if the girl is at

the man in such a case usually does

SITI- ATION9


The movie theater was darkened
for the second run when we reached
it. and we had difficulty in finding
seats
AT last the usher found two about
midway down the hall, next the wall
and we climbed over a number Of
resentful people TO our places. We
had no means Of knowing whether
Miss Dean was in the house until
the film, 10 my mind an unusually
dreary and undressing one, had
been run out, and the lights were
flashed on for two or tire minutes
before the next feature
D:cky saw her first. He had been
eagerly looking for her since the
moment the lights came on, and
pretended 10 share his interest. al
though l would have been glad in
deed TO have been assured of the
girls absence from the place.
There she is" my husband eU-
claimed in a tone which he forgot
or didn't care TO lower. At any rate
it turned several heads in our direc-
ton, and made me draw back flush
ed and resentfully embarrassed at
the attention we were attracting. He
nudged me as he spoke, and fol-
lowed his glance 70 a point almost
directly opposite us, but on the 9TH
er side OF the theater, where Bess
Dean. in the flame colored gown she
had worn at the StOckbridge recep-
ton, sat beside Alice Holcom.be.
'>DOn't Worry"
What do you know about THAR"
Dicky muttered in a tone that be-
trayed annoyance. She's got the
old girl with her. I didn't count on
having to play the gallant 10 her"

masculine Obtuseness, even while l
hotly resented his disrespeotful al
fusion to the woman 1 cared most
for i'm the whole roll of Bayview
teachers, the woman for whom L
had grown to have a sincere affec-
ton. Man-like, Dicky was figuring
that Miss Holcombe's presence
meant that he would have but little
chance for Miss Deans society, while
any woman could have told him
that the younger woman had
brought the other woman along to
talk TO me so that she could secure
Dicky's undivided attention.
Don't worry" l assured him in a
whisper Alice Holeombe and 1 al

he entered the street car on his

a charming young miss. The
car was full; of uniformed gents
ranking from the hard boiled
colonel who stood near Joe's
seat 10 the new recruit. But
Joe had the bon sector.
1t proved an uncertain honor,
after all, for this girl was pay
ing no attention to the occu-
pants OF the car, not even JOe's
silver bars. She was gazing
steadily through the window at
the passing scenery. 1t even ap-
peared to Joe that she had for
gotten the bundle that was lying
on the floor between them. In
a few minutes she arose and
left the car. Joe noticed that
she had not touched the bundle.
Now was the time for him to be
gallant. To the rescue Don

he rushed after the forgetful
maiden.
