Ittr went down one evening to

see Gwen Gwens my sisterbyi agreement of our own two selves

and next to Nellie I love herbest If Nellie finally refuses toImarry me then Im going to askGwen in which event our rela ¬

tions may changeNow Nellie had not been in ¬

vlted to be present at that inter-view

¬

but there she was Thegirls were sitting on a sofa builtjust right in length to accommodate three It was very nice ofthem to move apart and makeroom between and as I sat downI thought a certain young Jladyseyes seemed flashing a challenge

As it is not my nature to per ¬

mit a deliberate dare to glide byunnoticed I began hostilities by

l taking one of Gwens hands inone of mine This she permittedme to do without a sign of re ¬

sentment for we are brother andsisteri you know Then not to

I appear partial I reached overt after one of Nellies Think sheI would let me Not a bit of it

She looked up saucily andI slipped those dear extremities

safely behind her back GwenI

laughedTot Miss Nellie that I did

not care a continental I aroseI and moved over to the other side

of Gwen Nellie just smiled inher little superior exasperatingway and would you believe it

we had hardly got settled be ¬

twined and snuggled comfortally down in the cushions be-

nodded and made signs to herShe is intelligent if shes any¬

thing besides being sweet andcaught right on Pretty soon act ¬

I lug an if it were a trifle crowdedon the sofa she moved forwardand sat nearer the edge I cau ¬

tiously slipped my arm alongback of her and when I got itrightly located she raised herhand the one that had beenholding Nellies to brush thehair front her forehead Whenit again went down there was myhand and Nellie unsuspectinglyslipped hers right into it

sure Then Gwen directed theconversation into the channel ofholding hands and for ten miqutes the argument waxed warmI declaring that it was perfectlyproper for a gentleman to hold aladys hand with or without herconsent Nellie maintaining thatit was highly improper under anyand all circumstances but thatladies might indulge in the pleas ¬

ure without committing anygrave offense

Hotter and hotter waxed thedebate Every time Nelliethought she made an extra goodpoint she squeezed my handthinking it was Gwens and final ¬

ly when I cornered her on one ofher brightest illustrations sheup with the declaration that shewould marry any man who couldhold her hand for five minutes

Had there been no interrup-tion I suppose Nellie dud I wouldhave been there yet exchangingassurances through the mediumof a handclasp but Gwen thelittle rogue gave the whole thingaway Probably she isnt verymuch to blame for I suppose itdid get too excruciatingly funnyfor anything At any rate upshe got and ran from the roomwith something White crammed

I into her mouth leaving Nellieand me to facethe music

J

I dislike very much to muse onwhat ensued for it isnt a bitcomplimentaryto me Nelliesat for a moment perfectly as-

and I saw by the flashof her eye that the deuce wascoming In order to heed it offI asked demurely

When shall it beWhat she demandedOur wedding You said you
