How Finkelsteixi
Made Love
By RUTH UNDERHILL
<© by Doubleday. Pace A Co.)
A FACE looked through the hole,
**■ the hole in the ragshed where
Glulletta was sorting the day’s haul
A voice said:
“Oh, yon kid I”
The speaker, whose black hair rose
pompadour from a round and black
eyed face, craned nearer. It was not
a balcony ofange on which he stood, It was a
rickety crate dumped against
the side of the shed. But his smile
was delightful. And he was the first
male person Giulietta had seen since
Bhe came to America.
“Plase! i What this?" She held up
in grimy fingers which, nevertheless,
were dainty and almost reverent, her
find of the day.
“Blest If I know. But say,” her gal
lant leaned nearer. “Ain’t it a hat
frame?”
“A—r
“Hat” He made motions. “Put on
head. When you go out.”
“When 1 go out?" Juliet glanced
down her little nose at the yellow
handkerchief, garnished with very
faded red roses, which had slipped
round her golden-brown neck. “I no
lady.” '
“Yes you are. In America.”
He saw the shy eyes fixed on him In
wonder and Flnkelstein, the grocer’*
hoy, swelled. “We Americans like our
girls to look nice.”
So she did, nice as a legendary
princess, in her dark cave piled with
all the riches of old shoes, broken
dishes a.»d dismembered corsets.
"You ’Merican?” inquired Juliet.
Flnkelsteln’s father had come from
Poland and his mother from Russia,
and he was working for an Irish firm,
hut he replied truthfully:
li Surest thing you kn ow.”____
“Yon know about—all this here
things?”
Juliet" 8 eyes were shining. She
looked as though she had con^ to the
fount of all wisdom, liberty, equality,
fraternity and the pursuit of happi
ness., “What this?” demanded Juliet.
She held forth the second find of the
day, a leaky hot water bottle. Finkel
stein, though scratching his head,
came through without embarrassment.
“You put water in that. To keep
warm. My nwmmer’s got one.”
“Your mamrn^? But you are rich!”
“Forget it. Didn’t you never see
one?”
But no,” confessed the adoring
lady from Ofclabria. “And this! What
is?’
It was a piece of garter, very sick
and aged Ieeking In the elastic.
"Ladies wears ’em.”
“Rich ladles?”
"No,” averred the modest Flnkel
ateln. "They’re nothin’.”
Juliet laid the thing reverently
«side.
"B quest* V
It was a man’s rubber which her
little fingers held like a piece of
•carven Ivory. Flnkelstein let himself
go.
“That? That's to wear when It rains.
Why, I'Ve g*t a pair myself. Got ’em
on.....now.” ------------ -—.......... r--
“Truly?”
Her eyes were ecstatic. Rubber was
not current in Calabria and Juliet had
stumped home in her wooden clogs on
many a rainy night to warm cold bare
feet at the earthen hearth.
it Wanna see?”
Her adoring eyes encouraged him
and, one by one, the ^panoplied hero
waved his feet before the window,
holding meantime by the tottering
orange crate and ducking his head
that the rubber-shod feet might have
full scope against a background of
Bronx sunlight. It was a sloppy, thaw
ing day and Flnkelstein was wearing,
not rubbers, but boots.
“Dio mlo f”
Juliet clasped her hands and stood
In admiration. No knight in armor
could more have Impressed her, to
whom a piece of sacking tied about
with string was the height of protec
tion for the male leg.
• “They are yours!
“I bought ’em with my pay."
“Your pay I”
But he must be a millionaire He
must he an emperor! The waving legs
loft the window and ‘ the head came
back.
Say kkl! Do you like me?”
“Lika you?” Juliet’s blush was as
adorable as the pinkest rag of silk
underwear In her whole collection.
Never before had she been asked such
a leading question by such a beautiful
knight. “I thought you and me might
go together some. To the ‘movies'
and—’’
Flnkelstein was feeling moved him
self. The Indies of bis acquaintance
did not blush and adore like that.
“I’d like to hu.v you things," he
stated, and watched her draw near
the window like a little saint praying
to a bright Image.
“R-rnbbers?" she ventured.
“Rubbers? Sure." She was nearer
and he had her hand.
"And a bottle for the warm water?”
“For positively boiling hot water, M
promised her prince, dawning love In
his own eyes. It Is doubtful If Flnkel
stein had ever promised a girl any
thing before that he wus perfectly
sure he could do.
>■ And one of them—them—?”
The god nodded. “Garters," he whis
pered, Ids voice shy with embarrass
ment, generosity and love, u Not one,
klddo, deigned the all-powerful.
"Two!’’
They kissed.

TO SEMPTEMBKR 1#
Jhckson, Oct. 3__Prior to Septem
ber 16, Butts county had ginned a
total of 926 bales of cotton, the re
port of the census bureau shows.
There was no report for the county
last year on that date, but it is be
lieved the ginnings this year are
larger than for 1928.
THE REASON.
The sergeant major and the young
er officer were inspecting the cook
house. Pointing to a large copper
of water just beginning to boil the
officer said: “Why does the water
only boil round the edges of the
copper and not in the center? »»
it The water round the edge,
replied the sergeant major, Is for
the men on guard; they have their
breakfast half an hour before the
remainder of the company. »»
