That type of girl really represents the virtility of the race—from a feminine standpoint. She Is a diamond in the rough.

There was a man with her, too—and a good, husky specimen of a man, “Dis {8 my man,” she said, with a bridal simper. “Ben, this is the lady who told me Low to get up my wed- din® d» grected both very nicely, ay with my eyes 115 ing me for m £o I jest concluded to hook up wid ir passed on.

[« oo - 'LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT By JULIA LEITCH, e S e S N When young Winthrop met Eliza- beth at the Griflith’s dance he wonder- ed if the sensation he experienced would not in prehistoric times have been called love at first sight. He danced with her as often as possible | and with nobedy else, and in between the dances he propped himself against the wall and watched her. When to- ward the end of the evening she men- tioned that she was invited to the Porters’ dance the next week he urged her to promsie that she would dance every other dance with him. “But I didn't say I was going,” Ellz- abeth protested laughingly. “But you will go, won't you? And ! whether you go or not, won't you promise to dance with me anyway.” “Oh, I'll promise that,” Elizabeth aseured him, “but I'm not at all sure | that I'll go.” “But if you do so—" | “it 1 go,” promised Elizabeth, smil- Ing. beth did ter Dorothy, he ceeived the ey h had de nthrop that cd the foilowing week and ven- red another invit He was sur. prised and somewl discone “ted by the way she reccived it.
