MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irwin Cobb

In a certain company of the 18th DE
vision, which largely was made UP Of draft
troops from New York City, was an East
Side boy Of Irish antecedents with pretty
wit of his own. In front of Chateau
Thierry a machine gun bullet passed
through one Of his knee joints. When he
was able to get about on clutches, sur
geon at the base hospital said to him one
day: :.
''Hogan, how far can you walk on that
leg now?" !.
, "Well, SIR" said Hogan, "I'm dom
pretty we'll. I can hobble up to the END
of the ward and read the prescriptions on
the medicine bottles and figure out the,
causes. Then I hobble to the cemetery
out here and read the epitaphs and look
at the effects" ~

THE OLD GARDENER SAYS

rms spring many of the florists were
selling pansy plants for so cents q basket.
Now you can grow all the plants you can
possibly use for SO cents worth Of seed.
The seed should be sown from the middle
to the latter part Of July. Choose a spot
where water can be applied freely, or
better still, sow the seed in cold frame.
After the young plants are well started
they can be transplantcd to beds about
three feet wide, where they will go
through the winter and begin blooming
early in the spring. In the northern Sec
tions light covering of hay or straw will
be necessary. After spring growth has be-
gun you can dig up the plants and set
them anywhere you like, even though they
are in full bloom, for they do not at all
resent being moved about.

Still F1abb;nq

- ASHTON notes indicate that the high
II water mark of the feminine skirt
has been reached and now is decl1n-
ing. Skirts are descending, and the chorus
of criticism that has been breaking about
the concealed and apparently well-muffled
ears of the younger generation is expected
to decline correspondingly, or at any rate
to change tune. In fact, the principal gain,
from the heightened skirt is surcease from the
walls of their critics.
But the girl who wore the knee-length
skirt will be the same girl, in however
prim a garb The damage, If there were
any. has been wrought. She is known for
being bow-legged or knock-kneed, as the
case may be-unless the memory of her
admirers is as short as that of her de-
cryers Longer skirts will not improve her;
and it has not been shown conclusively
that she needs improvement.
| One prime mistake of the critics is the
overlooking of the fact that the flapper,
so-called, is nothing new. In all ages there
have been flappers; buoyant, CHEEKY young
persons whose inherent daring subjected
them to the uplifted hands and eyebrows
of their more conservative elders. The
flapper is as old as humanity. 1t is only in
this generation that she has been permitted,
if not actually encouraged, to flap.
And she will indubitably continue to
flap, though her skirts have to be gath
cred in unsightly bundles to enable her to
cross a muddy street, as in the lamented
Victorian days. Flapping is not a matter
of skirts but of youth-bless the f1apper's
heart.

IN o you sometimes wonder if you bore
other people as much as certain peo-

n you sometimes wonder II you bore
other people as much as certain peo-
pie bore you?
There is nothing else that gives one such
a horrible, cold, sinking feeling as to vision
| oneself as one of those individuals whose
friends and family endure them with what
fortitude they may, and whom strangers flee
from as they would from the wrath of God.
To be dull, heavy, stupid, tiresome; to Lave
people yawn in your face; to catch the look
Of dismay at your coming and glad relief
at your going; to know that even your near
est and dearest bear with you instead of en-
joying you-could any fate be worse than
that Of the bore?
And the difficulty is that we never really
know whether we are bores or not, az we
know for certain whether we are blondes or
brunette, or short or tall. We may be
bores without knowledge or intention, and
spread deathly WEAKNESS wherever we 60,
as some people are unconscious carriers of
| the typhoid germ.
1t behooves us all, therefore, to look with
suspicion upon ourselves and to try to find
out how we react upon our fellow creatures.
Above ALL 1t is up to us to take stock of our
conversation, and while there is no one acid
| test that will absolutely determine our status
as Joy maker or a gloom compeller, there
are a number of things which we may be
very sure that we cannot do without putting
| ourselves in the bore class.
The chief Of these is to talk about one
self. No egotist need waste a second won
| is it. Our own affairs are so thrillingly in
| teresting to us that it takes more intelli-
gence than most people possess to make us
realize that they are matters of profound in
difference to the balance of the world and
that with the possible exception of our
mothers, not a human being in it wants to
| hear single detail about what we did, or
thought, or felt.
Nobody wants to listen to the sage of our
adventures, or to hear about our triumphs,
or our failures, because everybodys interest
| is conferred on their own affairs. John Brown
could sit up all night telling you about all the
interesting things that happened when he took
a trip to the city twenty miles away, but he
will find that he has a pressing engagement
If you attempt tell him about how you pene-
trated into the forbidden land of Tibet, or the
heart Of darkest Africa.
If you make yourself the theme of your con-
versation you may he sure that you are a
bore. If you talk about your children all the
time you are double and triple bore.
If you doubt this, watch the next person
you attempt to tell about the cute thing your
little Mamie did, or the witty remark that
your little Johnny made. Note how people
writhe and squirm in their chairs as you re-
count the story of Ethelinda's beaux, and

We listen 20 these breezy chaps,

and hope for better times; soon
we may pay our tax, perhaps.
and have some surplus dimes.
And we forget how in the past
