A ND then he proceeds to spill q yarn Of how
he dashed toward this bin as she was
leaving the gym after the game and Of how
he planted himself in front of her and started
to hold out his hand in welcome Then he
found that wouldn't work, for he needed all
his hands to talk with. So he kept the grin
and spelled as briskly as he could for her,

He took chance, Of course, on the name

Well with that start Pete had fumbled
around until he got clue that her last name
was Brown. And after that he had Wiggled

this doll believe she had met him somewhere,
some time and had forgotten him.
Ill bet she bit a nail over that. For Pete

And next Saturday" announced Pete with
gusto and q neat dance step, I'm to drop
down and see her again. And listen, fellow,
you'd be surprised at how my dexterous digits
will be able to strut their stun by that time"
Well, the further this thing went the dizzier
It got. There wasn't any sense to it, or to
Pete either. For instance, pipe his next move.
He stepped speaking to me!
Not because he was sore at me, or anything
like that. No. Just because lae had to have
some one to practice muting on. And it had to
be me.
When he blew back into the room after the
next trip to Union CITY, knew he was sunk
His eyes were sort of CLASSY and he went around

Somehow his basket ball team kept right on

guess he figured that If he did she couldn't hear
him anyway, since she had sound-pro ears.
But how would the old boy manage to keep
her from discovering that his tongue could do

wondered. He would be bound to meet people

Men Are Not Vain Creatures. Well-er-NOt Much

It every store of every sort on day 1t would still be possible for New Britain citizen to turn over his money to local merchants for value received" More than a dozen vend- ing machines are constantly avail able and by means of them it is possible for the New Britainite to determine his height. perfume his handkerchief, learn his weight. get his fortune printed on a card. fill his pockets with salted peanuts and kill his halltosis with chewing gum. The ability 10 drop a coin in the slot is the only talent needed.
 The perfume machine, which for five cents sends out q spray of scent which can be smelled for yards and clings almost forever. has an almost entirely male clientele. according 10 q clerk in the store op- posite the post on which the little device lures the passerbv to part with his coin. The advertisement on the machine directs the purchaser to hold his handkerchief in front Of the nozzle but this. according 10 the clerk, doesn't meet with every body's approval. Some unbutto7 their coats and perfume their vests while still others remove their hats and let the perfume find a lodging place on their sleeked hair. The only feminine customer the clerk ever saw using the machine was little girl about II years old.
 The chewing gum and weighing machines make an appeal that is universal Both men and women use them frequently and those which tell fortunes as well as give correct weight catch more pennies than those that merely ipdicate the weight One Of the scales is equipped with chart that shows the patron his height at g glance.

New West End Bus Line Discussed By DWellers

When the bridge over the railroad tracks at Black Rock has been com pleted-speed the day-it is said the residents living west of the span will petition for bus service. Feeling in the neighborhood in favor of a di- rect route from the center of the city is reported to be strong,
 Dvellers in the transpontian re- zion depend for transportation on the west end trolley line. which takes them as far as Black Rock avenue. and on the Corbin avenue bus line which takes them on a roundabout course 10 the corner of West Main street and Corbin ave nue But this service. residents as sert, is not sufficient to meet the de- mands of the neighborhood If the trolley is used, Q long walk is neces- sa-y. If the bus is used the cir cuitous route which the motor takes requires a longer time. they claim, than would be necessary if bus were operated over West Main street. The old mathematical axiom i!dL Hll q 644N 4!I4' ID 'IiN 9i'N4 N'11 distance between two points IS en- ployed as an argument and when it comes to mathematics the chill dren in the affected vicinity arc said to be expert.

English Really Have Tea Just Like NoyaIists Saw

Tea is universal in England. Rev. Dugald Macfadyen, M. A. Oxon, F. F Hist, S, visiting his daughter in New Britain, admits it.
 Someone asked him if the custom of having tea Tt o'clock daily was exaggerated in novels and other articles dealing with English life. That anyone should even ask about the custom surprised the Britishar.
 Why of course we have tea every day" he replied. The custom is universal in England and it doesn't interfere with our work either. If I am writing a book for example, my tea is brought in and left for me. Why even cricket matches are ad- journed when tea time comes.'
 Now may I ask you a question ?" he said to the young man convers- ing with him. "Is Nicholas Murray Butler as big a man in the United States as he is in England?"
 Not knowing how England re- gards Columbia's president the young man ignored the question and dShtu OIlt u HIS ON II.
 "Is it true that Englishmen do not have a sense of humor?" he asked
 Why certainly they have. Don't you ever see Punch ."
 The questioner said that he did and still wanted to know if English men possessed a sense of humor. The clergyman's laugh at his Amer ican friends failure to appreciate the cartoons of Punch showed that he at least recognized a joke.
 Well, we think Punch very funny" he said, but I will say this about our British sense of humor. A man that is speaking before an English audience does not win favor by displaying a sense of humor. Just one quip and the audience imaginas that the man can't be serious about anything that he is saving"
 Mir. Hacfadyen. although near the retirement age for English Congre- gational ministers. is an indefatie- able worker and his interests arc numerous and varied. Recently he served on commission appointol to determine what should become of church endowments in Wales. The situation was a peculiar one put the scheme finally adopted was one suggested by the local visitor. The commission decided 10 fix an aroi- trary date and all endowmen,s made before that time were turned over 10 the county officials to be used 10 pay the tuition Of theological students of any denomination. Those made after the date decided on were left in the hands Of the Estah- lished Church in Wales except in cases where a specific church hal teen named.
