1916 BEE AITCH ESS 1916 Once out of town, Charles made sure no Jimmie was riding in the extra tire, while Louise remarked pensively, I can't imagine why he acts, so, he never paid any serious attention to me before. He's a funny boy. Really, sometimes he seems lots older than ten. Then the talk became more per- sonal. Meanwhile, Jimmie had troubles of his own. While wandering about the yard thinking of plans, a sweet little voice had hailed him. Hello, little boy. Who are you? I'm Elizabeth Gilbert. We just moved here. I've seen you lots today. Why are you so cross? Don't you like girls? You look lonesome. Come and talk to me. In a flash, Charles, Louise and even dirt itself left J immie's mind. Fluffy yellow curls, tied with a pretty blue bow, and brown eyes have often accomplished wonders like this. Say, I've got some candy. I helped sister plant some flowers in the garden this morning and she gave me ten cents to buy some candy. With the help of Jimmie's candy and Elizabeth's friendship, they were soon busy exchanging histories and melting glances. When Charles' car on its return trip drove up in front of the Carter residence, the headlight showed two small figures perched on the stone curbing, the yellow head close to the brown, while the two children care- fully divided what remained of the candy. Jimmie gave one guilty look up- ward and fied, pursued by the mocking laughter of Louise and Charles. Several days later Mrs. Carter came home. After the greetings were over she turned to Jimmie: Did you do as Mother wanted you to '? Jimmie traced the pattern of the carpet with his toe. Well, sheep- ishly, I fed the chickens and watered the lawn, and I was hot on the track of Louise and Charles when along came Elizabeth Gilbert and spoiled it all. Girls spoil everything. You just think you've got a chance and- glancing across the street at fair Elizabeth who at that moment was sharing an apple with Tom Johnson, then they up and slip something over you. Charles, listening attentively to this talk, nodded his approval, then turned to Mrs. Carter. I guess he's about right, Mrs. Carter, but with your consent, I'll do all in my power to capture one young lady and prevent her from slipping something over me,' as Jimmie expressed it. Mrs. Carter smiled and said softly, Charles, you have my consent, and I hope you're successful. You and Louise will be happy. I think I've been hoping for this for a long time. Jimmie gave one startled gasp, then with deepest disgust muttered, Aw! they're all alike! Here I worried and watched that Louise for at least a month and now Mother says, 'Just what I've been hoping for.' Women are funny, that's all I have to say. EUNICE SHUMWAY, '17. l69l
