Az, That's the Rub

The word "scrape," meaning a
difficulty or some unfortunate pre-
dicament, has several synonyms, as
rub" a squeeze" a pinch" etc,
all of which are younger than the
term "scrape," and of slightly diff
ferent Interpretation. Getting in
to a scrape" came from Scotland.
and the expression is as old as the
ancient and honorable game of golf.
In Scotland rabbits hole or bur-
row is called "scrape." When a
players ball rolled into one of these
holes it was manifestly impossible
to play 1t, and the rules Of the
game recognized this fact by nam
ing but slight penalty for the
player. He merely "got into a
scrape. Chicago Journal.

An Interesting
Book
By DOROTHY DOUGLAS

NOTHING could have been SIM
~ pier than the original error
made by the newspaper man who
had the stand at the corner of
Broadway in the seventies. He had
confused two of the books ordered
by patrons and delivered them that
usszaarning to Tire wrong apartments.
IA Snnc~ Conner received q reeeDt
i entitled Eaea Ffssrings u

lev oct sc sdttc1 instead OF
the former
! And Nancy, being an omniverous
reader, decided to gobble up as
much of "Heartstrings" as she
could before the mistake was rectl-
fed. The author was new one
to Nancy's well-posted brain. She
couldn't recall having read any
thing by Owen Stanley, and knew
1t must be a first attempt.
I "Stanley-Owen Stanley, you've
got a small fortune and a reputa-
lion In "Heartstrlngs," she thought.
ESPECIALLY If one Nancy Cromer
can persuade you to let her do the
scenario for the films" Nancy was
not really conceited, but she knew
her value as a writer. Her first
two scenarios were undoubted sue
cesses..
And Owen Stanley, a trife an
noyed that the mistake had been
made, wrapped up Ever Ready"
and took it back to the book stand.
The lovely volume he had had espe-
cially bound was to be presented
TO Cora Masters, the young lady
who he hoped would accept him,
now that he had promise to being
successful.
While Cora had not been wildly
enthusiastic about his literary
career, she had not exactly discour-
aged him. Stanley felt quite
reasonable hopes that his lovely
mauve volume of 'Heartstrings"
would do the trick. a M
''You could get your own book
II you Just call at MOI 49," the book
man informed Stanley. I'm sorry
T'-mixed them up -'
E And Stanley, because ne really
wanted to see his brain child In
its new mauve ralment, decided to
stop and ask for it. He also took
along the other book.
Nancy opened the door herself,
the volume still in her hand.
"Oh, dear" she said, when she
caught sight of fife book in her
callers hand, 81 was hoping I could
have finished this story before any
one came to get 1t. / couldn't sleep
$Swfnk IL 1 didn't know how 1t
ends"
a'.It must be an extraordinary
good tale" he said.
"It's one of the best I've read
for ages" Nancy told him.
,aWell-I don't want to be respon-
slble for your losing sleep" said
Stanley. How long will 1t take
you to finish it. Shall call back
after f1vef"
ooh 3" breathed Nancy gratefully,
its too good of you. I will give
you q cupful Of tea and toasted
mullins when you come"
Stanley grinned his thanks and
went OF. His footsteps were light.
Such praise as had been his was
worth any amount of advertising.
Somehow his heart beat less siren
uously in the direction Of Cora.
He had a bite of lunch, and went
back to his rooms.
His telephone rang.
'Ts this Mr.. Stanley" came a
very nice feminine voice. Il am
Nancy Cromer and would like to
talk about your book, Heart
strings which has come to my no
tfcs in rather unusual circum-
stances. / am wondering IL you
have placed the film rights

are some dickerings going on" -
