the other boys lettering around Diana
had envied him as he took her arm
and guided her across the campus!
But all did not go smoothly for
Bill, for as the two walked along to-
gether he grew tongue-tied and was
unable to say word. Diana decided
that Bill Manners, despite his good
looks. was very stupid.
Poor Bill began to grow panicky
as they neared her house, for he
wanted to ask her to the movies, but
he was still tongue-tied and no right
words could he form on his lips.
Where were all those magnificent
speeches he had stored up for an
opportunity like this? Was he going
to stand there like mummy and
not ask her that important question?
She was already turning the lock on
the gate, then she turned and smiled.
"GOOD-BY, Bill" The smile en-
~ couraged Bill, and impulsively
he Stammered out:
Diana, would you go to the movies
with me tonight?" He recalled now
how her pretty face had lit up at the
invitation and then, in twinkling,
she had grown wistful and her smile
had disappeared as she replied:
II just remembered. Bill, I won't
be able to go tonight. Mothers i'll
and l just couldn't think of leaving
her alone!" She had looked up at
Bill and he knew there were actually
tears in her large blue eyes
I'll be so very lonesome" she
added. Bill wondered now why he
hadn't had the sense to tell her he
would come over anyway. Suddenly
a bright idea occurred to him and,
swapping his fingers. he jumped off
the bed, went to his drawer and
counted his weekly allowance. There
was just enough to buy box of
chocolates for Diana, SO he decided
he would walk over to her house after
supper and surprise her. Bill then
turned his attention to his reflection
in the mirror. and with an engaging
smile he made a sweeping gesture
! of presenting the candy to Diana.
Bill was no longer tongue-tied.
This, Diana, is for you, the sweet
est. truest CIR"
Bills speech was interrupted by
a smothered giggle from behind the
half-closed door. 1t was a familiar
giggle to Bill. and he rushed to the
door to catch the culprit in vain.

ready scampering down the stair

was talking to an imaginary girl in

to his room to think up some logical
explanation to give his family for his
queer actions.

at the supper table that evening

said Nibbler.
What have I forgotten?" demand

there probably are no traps" was Mrs.
