HONEYMOONERS ABROAD
BY ZOE REckLEY

The stentorian blare Of the Roma's de-
parting signal and the cry Of "All
Ashore!' tingled and thrilled through
Edna as she looked down on the seem
ingly moving dock crowded with friends
Of the passengers. Sudden excited tears
blurred her vision. The hand that clutch
ed her new husbands arm frightened con-
vuisively. With the other she waved fran
tically to the dear people come to speed
her on her honeymoon, and the homeland
she was leaving for the first time in her
life
Jack Sensed her excitment to the point
of pain. He looked down at the flushed
sweet face with its oval of brunei beauty,
and brown eyes wet with tears.
"Too late to back out now, Kits, we're
off. Got to put up with just me, old
darlint!''
The very effort he made to steady his
voice betrayed how keyed-up he was

to let the world see, she Strengthened to
tiptoe in adieu to those ashore.
Faces on the dock grew blurred; you
couldn't tell on wildly waving figure from
another And now as the huge Roma
swung full into mid-stream, the last
slight contact of sight was gone. Hand
tight in hand, Edna and Jack watched the
stately procession OF New Tork's man
made peaks glide past them.
It was all so new and so big to them,
coming from their honey little midwest
town. They felt awed. the great steamer,
the great city seeming to watch them with
it's million bright eyes, the ocean on
which they were venturing, the new
world to which they were going
Their scanty remarks were almost
whispers. The sparkling harbor changed
to the gray of the open sea. A chill salt
wind sent through them a delicious, half
frightened tremor.
Come on down to the lounge. Hon,
laughted Jack suddenly. And say-soons
we pass the three-Tnile limit were going
to quaff q bealler to the greatest business
and pleasure trip ever known
Edna looked up startled.
