teen and the object of her affection Is
Just seventeen. We'll. she sent him a
box Of candy the other day. But she
still has some of the 1910 shyness and
Is not quite as we'll advanced in the
new woman" form Of courting as one
would think. for she did not have the
nerve to inclose her card and Bennie
