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 .

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. '
