1919 QCUEUS of IRIJHUUIIE 67 The boy doesn't eat anything, complainedjhis mother, and he has developed some unusually nervous habits lately. I can,t understand him! The rascalf' lovingly commented the father, I can't get him interested in anything at the office and I'm on a particularly important case. Don't bother, daddy dear, interposed sis with an air of mystery. The boy is head over heels in love! In love!', hastily expostulated his mother. Eleanor, what are you thinking of? I-low perfectly absurd! Not at all, mamma. I-Iasnlt he said anything about it to you? She's a girl at college, who really is a dear. Don't dare breathe this to brother, and please, for heaven's sake, don't question him! as -is -is as vs as as as -if- Say, sis, who is that confounded little dude I saw Emalina with the other day? asked Tom Stewart of his sister a certain Sunday afternoon. She hasn't let me come near her for weeks, and I'm sick of it! Dude! Why, you jealous thing! I'le's a perfectly lovely fellow. Emmy seems to be really fond of him, too. I-Ie's taken her to the Wayside Inn this afternoon for tea. Weeks, indeed! Then it must have been your twin brother I saw with her at the matinee yesterday. Oh, thanks for the information, returned Tom irritably. But, I'm not jealous a bit, I'd have you know! I merely asked out of curiosity. What is it to me, anyway ? Oh, I beg your pardon! If you aren't jealous, and merely curious, perhaps I can tell you more. I-le's from her home town, and he's at least twenty years older than she! she told me last night fin a very confidential voicej that she simply adored old men, and-! Here she was interrupted by the slamming of two doors and the angry snort of an engine in the driveway. Oh, no, indeed, he isn't jealous a bit. I-low could I have misunderstood him so! Poor boy, I ought to tell him, but perhaps the shock will do him good ! . rs as af- as as as 56 as is Tom, what is the matter with you? You've been the grumpiest thing all eveningg you've barely spoken a decent word to me! complained Emalina to a very disconsolate looking Tom at the Graduation dance. I beg your pardong I didn't mean to be rude, but I-I don't feel-er- exactly right-er-nothing serious you know but, oh,- stammered Tom apologetically. '

66 Qlnnrns uf lliuunuke 1915 Pink and Pursuit AY, sis, that's an awfully good-looking girl in pink over there by the tea table. Who is sheff' asked Tom Stewart of his sister, Eleanor. Well, brother, responded his sister, there are exactly four girls in pink at the tea table, and if-N Oh, I say, sis, stop kidding! you know whom I mean-the one with the light hair. q And three of them have light hair, she continued, teasingly. Oh, have a heart! cried Tom, throwing up his hands in comic dismay. Well, if you want to know that badly-she is Emalina Wilson, but you have no chance, Tom, because every boy here is crazy about her and you are far from being the most attractive one here. A Thanks, awfully, sis, for the compliment and the warning, but l'm hard struck. She's Emalina, 'My Calf all right, he ended gaily as he made his way to the tea table. Emalina was a pretty girl, and she looked particularly pretty this after- noon in a dainty afternoon frock and picture hat. She was just the kind of a girl that looked pretty in pink and she knew it, too! She was the Class beauty, and for this reason she had been chosen to preside over the tea table at the Senior Tea given during graduation week on the college campus. During the course of the afternoon, Tom was introduced to her and 'twas late before his sister could convince him that it was time for guests to leave. Just a minute, sis, was his reply to her remonstrances. Are you quite sure you haven't an engagement for to-morrow afternoon, Miss Wilson? Why, no, l'm quite sure I have a date to-morrow afternoon, she answered, laughing at his crestfallen countenance. If lim not mistaken, a certain Mr. Stewart has asked me to drive with him in his new racer! Good! I-le told me to tell you that he'cl call at three. All right, at three, then, I'll be ready. Good-bye! as as as as as is as as is Several days later Tom became the center of discussion at the Stewart home.

68 Qtcurns uf .iiuanuhzl 1919 I am awfully sorry, but please be real nice for a few minutes, because I want to introduce you to my father. Your father! I didn't know that he was here? Oh, yes, he's been here for several days. There he comes through the side door now. Come on! E.ma!ina! here, wait a minute, please! implored Tom grasping her hand and holding it fast in his own. I-that your father? Why, I thought- Yes, I know what you thought. Eleanor told me about it, laughingly interrupted Emalina. And your father is just the man thatVI've wanted to speak to for-well, ever since I met you!--and here he was all the time! For heaven's sake, hurry, Emalina-l'm anxious to meet him! finished Tom with an unmis- takable look. MARY I-IEGE, '2I. NNW :' i . . 'A 1-'EK , -Qt -- f .-'. .Q - N 7 i?Q as N if Xxlgj, 'X 1 4 .
