Arguijo, the Indian ace, was hit all

A double steal by Chase and Weav-

their first run. Roy Storey, from the
East Texas league, made his debut
in center field for Douglas and cleo
,trified the fans with seven wonderful

The Blues now look like real PEN

only squeezed in a single run. Gomez

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Wanted to Look Around.

You know how you'll sometimes go
out to buy a hat and see a perfect
Knockout in the first shop you visit?
How you'll be ready to take 1t, but the
thought comes to you that perhaps
you'd better look around first? How
you spend the rest of the day in a
fruitless search for anything as nice.
and dask back to the first shop to
find the prize gone?
Well, that same system has robbed
many a girl of an eXtra-specially fine
husband
Ruth fell in love with Kenneth
when she was twenty-one. She'd
just emerged from college, and hadn't
seen much of the world yet.
Kenneth was in position to marry
her, but Ruth wasn't interested in
hat.
She admitted to her friends that she
nounced firmly that she wasn't half
ready to make up her mind.
II want to see the world she said.
II want to travel and meet other men.
l want to have my fling"
So she sent Kenneth away, although
she had a pretty bad time seeing him
go. He was the sort of person any
girl could take a chance on marrying
and, besides, she cared lot for him.
Then she turned around and sur
veyed the field for other candidates.
She found plenty of them, for she
was attractive and charming.
For four years she fiirted and dane
ed with dozens of men, while Kenneth
remained somewhere in the back
ground, always on hand If she should
need him.
Then suddenly her brain cleared
and she saw plainly that the only
person for her was old Ken. The
original offer was still the most at
tractive.
So she called for ken--and he
wasn't there. He'd gone away when
she wasn't looking, and got himself
married to some one else.
Ruth had had her fling, but she'd
lost her best bet for husband.
Now this isn't intended to convey
to you that you must snap up the
first proposal. Or that you mustn't
weigh the matter carefully in your
mind before accepting. But it isn't
wise to hesitate and stall for too
long a time.
If you're in love with the boy who
wants to marry you, and he has all
the earmarks of the man who would
make a good husband, don't bother to
look around for better chances.
Good men are too few to pass up.
Take him while he's in the mood.
Don't be afraid that you're missing
something out in the great world,
Eleanor travelled for three years. all
around the world. She met all kinds
of fascinating men, she fiirted with
mobiles and danced with princes. She
had six proposals per mouth-and she
came tearing home to marry the boy
who had lived next door to her all her
life.
If you've got a man whom you love,
there's nothing better waiting for you,
Don't shop around until it's too late.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper. provided stamped,
addressed envelope is inclOsed

Of his. quite right, Bob White.
Quite right" said he. There is moth
ing like seeing for oneself Where did
you hear that these strangers were
seen. and who did you hear had seen
them?"
"Blacky the Crow is said to have
seen them" replied Bob White. Il got
it from Carol the Meadow Lark, and
he was told by Little Friend the Song
Sparrow, and he had it from Sammy
Jay. who said that Blacky the Grow
told him. The story is that BlaCky
saw these strangers on the edge of the
Green Meadows close by the Old Pas
ture and later on the edge of the Old
Orchard nearest to the Green Forest.
Now you know as much as 1 know"
Thanks" said Peter. Thanks very
much. Bob White. / believe I'll run
over to the Old Orchard"
Bob chuckled. I've just come from
there" said he. THE strangers may
have been there, but they are not there
now
Peter looked disappointed Then"
said he "I think I'll run over to the
Old Pasture"
Bob White chuckled again. You'll
be wasting your time" said he. I've
been over there, too, and not a trace
of the strangers could I find. There S
Blacky the Crow now. / wish he'd
come over here. We might be able to
get at the truth in regard to this
