 "You'd have a swell time with any of those things !' gloomily murmured the almost cousin. 'sY ou'Ye low hung auto craft of your own and the water makes you seasick and up to now you've had about as much interest in a marriage license as an Eskimo would in an ice cream freezer.

 If you saw a real natural girl you'd run like a ribbit,'' argued Abalona. 1 The specimen is so extinct that you wouldn't recognize it. Lucinda wouldn' t tell me if she died for it even if she is my friend. A girl has some rights, you know, and inquiring where she got her special ammunition is barred. Ii isn't done. I am positive that mon ument will be raised by popular sub-
 scrtption among grateful women to the
 man who invented these new things. l There isn't a girl alive who hasn't spent hours looking in the glass and
