EVENING TEI WHY MABEL LOST HIM By BLANCHE HARPER. IGRAM, LAR LA PAGE SEVEN IN “YOUR OWN" ROOM ; “I'll leave it to you,” said the young SOME IDEAS AS TO FURNISHINGS man with the receding chin to his' friend with the fuzzy bat, “whether it | was my fault or not! It was just bad luck! I'm hoodooed, that's what!" “I thought you were asked over to visit Mabel's family at their place in the country,” objected his friend with the fuzzy hat. “lI was,” admitted the young man with the receding chin. “And I put it to you if that wasn't encourage- ment. When a girl's family lets her invite a man for a week-end doesn’t it look as though everything was all right? And if the girl didn't want you couldn't she sidestep the invitation? “Mabel wrote me a nice letter when she asked me and I considered the question before accepting. A man doesn’t want to commit himself off- hand, you know. Girls are so fright fully keen these days, and while Mabel never seemed so you never can tell. S8till, I had always llked Mabel pretty well, and you know where her dad stands—he's got so much money that they use it for kindling wood. So I made up my mind that | might do lots worse. Pesides, 1 hated to dis- appoint Mabel. 1 resolved to ask her to marry me and get it over with.” “Gee!" sald the man with the fuzzy hat in admiring tones. “I like to see a man with courage!” “I was a little surprised,” said the young man with the receding chin, “to find when I got there that about six other fellows had been Invited, and among them that Rollson chap —that particularly obnoxious fellow who never notices anybody, you know. I resolved to show him a few things. So | got Mabel to myself the very first day. She had the garden hose turned on her pet flower bed and 1 rushed out to help her. She in- sisted that she preferred to water the flowers herself, but | simply took the hose away from her and naturally she had to stay and watch me use t, 1 tried to lead up gradually to what 1 had in mind, but she didn't seem to realize the situation and always ran me off the track. Finally I turned to her in desperation and, throwing out my hands, said—-" “What?" breathlessly inquired his friend. “Well, whatever | said was com. pletely lost in the subsequent excite- ment,” admitted the young man with the receding chin. “When I threw out my bands | dropped the hose naturally and the nozzle struck on a stone at such an angle that the full force of the stream hit Mabel in the face and drenched her. “l didn't see her again till evening, but, of course, nelther did Rollson. Naturally I sought her out to apolo- glze. She had just taken a chair un- der the moonvine at one end of the porch and said “Oh'" in a rather dis- appointed tone when she looked up and saw me. It sounded as though she had expected some one else. “Mabel, how sorry 1 am--" “‘Don’t try,’ she sald.

It only proves her Interest Finally I circled around and reached a stile shead of the rest. 1 planned to be there when Mabel arrived and help her over before Rollson couid climb the fence and do it himself. It worked beautifully, only as I bobbed up emiling and lifting my hat I ran plump Into a hornet's nest in a sassafras bush back of me—and 1 Xm't know who helped Mabel over at stile. “Every one seemed to think it my fault that Mabel was stung by several of the little beasts, too. “I made up my mind that I would have to write my proposal and send it to her. But just before I left her for home I accidently overheard Mabel and her father talking. “‘Good gracious!" Mabel told him. ‘Don’t blame me if he has kept out of all your bridge games! 1 told you he could play bridge when you wanted some one to fill out your table, but I didn't guarantee to chain him Into a chair! Haven't I endured enough in my constant maneuvers to escape his attempts to propose to me? I've been nearly drowned and pols ‘ned by hornets and my foot was smashed trying to get away from '!'m--and Mr. Rollton ready to slay = at sight! Go away, papa, and don't add to my troubles!" “Now I leave it to you if I didr" eerve Mabel right just to let mattec. drop and not write that proposal?” “You did!" agreed the friend with the fuzzy hat—Chicago Daily News.
