a more buoyant note began to
struggle on the very day when

Rhyming
Optin,ist
BY Aline Michaelis.

Tim finished up his barn one
day; 1t listed quite a bit,
~ there was no hay loft for the
hay, the windows did not fit. The
horse could not approach his
stall, the doors would not swing
to, and poor old Brindle had to
crawl whenever she went through.
But all about the countryside the
folks in Jimmy's crowd went point
ing to his barn with pride: their
praise was long and loud. Foe,
though it wobbled. fore and aft.
and not one line was trim. rome
Of his friends or neighbors laugh.
ed; all said: It's fine for jim"
Now, had Bill Bronson built that
barn, they would have likely said:
The old thing isn't worth a darn:
what's wrong with Billy's head?"
They would have criticised his
skill and, in a rude attack, they
would have knocked each beam
and sill within that luckless shack.
Which proves that since :heir
youthful days, in things requiring
vim, there's been some difference
in the ways OF neighbors Bill and
Jim. For many men have :nanv
ways and sundry heights of skill;
by their own standards chaps ap-
praise the work of Jim and Bill.

WHEN AGIRL MARRIES
INTERESTING SERIAL OF EARLY Welded LIFE
BY Ann LiSle

wv HEN got home from my

Carlotta's room dark and still. So
| tiptoed past her closed door:
When l got to my own room
found a note on my dressing
table. And as / read II ! was
deeply thankful that l hadn't dis
turbed Carlotta.
Let me have the first word
and the last-on the matter that's
in both our hearts" her note read.
I'm ambitious. l want 10 see the
business which came down to me
from my father foremost among
the realty corporations in this city.
And-'It pays to advertise So, in
view of the fact that my business
judgment tells me you're a wiz
why shouldn't you get the ac-
count?
Moreover, my dear. 7 like hav-
ing a part in the success of my
best friend. And you mustn't. lose
sight of the fact that Tony is close
to your business and that / like
being close to-what interests
him. I'll see you next at Vir-
ginia's. I'm going to rush down
to the office in the wee sma' hours
of the morning TO get work out
of the way before starting on my
ride with Tony. Thank Pat IL you
like-or your own blessed young
Neal. But please, dear, don't
make a fuss over me. I'd feel
so awkward and I'd make a holy
show of myself.
Just go on loving the girl into
whose life you've brought its first
happiness and out of whose life
you've driven the bluff of loud
laughter that covered-emptincss.
Yours, with eternal gratitude.
s"CARLOTTA."
"P. Sand the old Carlotta,
writes this with her tongue in her
cheek-I think owe you a heap
for, teaching me to wear orchid
chiffon instead of black and white
plaids. We aren't square yet.
What you owe me is-no brass
bands! I know you and so beg
you please not to be too-darn
grateful. {. 5.
