“I not only think—l know, you
met her,” I retorted. Now, I
wouldn’t dare tell Emmy that Hard
wasn’t absolutely sure that he recall
ed her every feature, including the
color of her dress and the manner
in which she wore her hair, or she
Whenever that abominable sitting
room clock of ours sends out its
plaintive but all too positive chimes,
would be as mad as a hornet. Girls
are so ’touchy over such matters,
even Emmy. Just as if each boy
can remember every one of us! Em
my will be practically bugs over this
dinner, and I scarcely can wait to
be the bearer of such glad tidings.
She will even be more wild when 1
am unable to tell her the name of the
man who is to be her escort. I ex
plained this to Hard and he laughed
almost at,-instead of with, me.
“Are you sure your whole concern
over the other fellow is for Miss
Cunningham?” he inquired.
This was vascillating to me, for I
feared he was insinuating I was filled
with that besetting sin of Mother
Eve—Curiosity. And I wouldn’t
have any man think that! In fact
between you and me, my firm belief
is that the boys have the market cor
nered when it comes to being inter
ested in the smallest ins and outs of
an affair. Older men, too. For
there’s Uncle Jim, he’ll spend an en
tire dinner time, and use a half hun
dred methods, to find out just how
much Mamma paid for the first cu
cumber of the season, and she, being
a woman, doesn’t tell although she
sees through his meandering from the
first. So I resolved never to mention
to Hard again anything about the
other young man, and I have an idea
Emmy and I won’t know who he is
until the two arrive in the car ready
to take us. It’s harrowing, I do de
clare, especially'when I contemplate
having to face Emmy. ,
Hard began to go at about 20 min
utes past ten, but do you know, it
was fully five minutes of eleven be
'ore he was footing it down Yard
’ey street. Girls do put in soulrack
'irg moments when fellows stay tor
’ste, especially whea one has a moth
er who insists that when a young
man is calling alone he must be gone
by half-past ten. This is an iron
clad rule with Mamma, and one over
which she is most startlingly narrow.
I suppose she thinks I can sqy to an
almost strange young man whom I
want to please and who has been
most polite all evening: “Here’s
your hat; what's your hurry',’’ when
ever that abominable sitting room
clock of ours sends out its plaintive
but all to positive chimes.
No young man ever delays in his
departure much over this hour, tha*
Mamma doesn’t mention it in one of
i those ways she has of not scolding
but looking buckets full, the next
day. And every time she makes me
fee] worse than if I were still a small
child, and she had stood me back of
the upright piazza for punishment.
Uncle Jim abo has a habit of ar
riving home a little before eleven. He
spends several hours with a crowd of
men who talk politics at Garvey’s
nearly every evening. And if he
comes up on the porch while my
caller is still here, he doesn’t say a

HOLIDAY BRIDE

Miss Corrie Wise Weds
A. B. Moore, of South
Carolina
PLAINS, Jan. 2.—A prett- zed
ding of Monday afternoon v that
of Miss Corrie Wise to A. B. Moore,
of Leesville, S. C. The house was
beautifully decorated in smilax, ferns
and pink and white flowers, carrying
out a color scheme of pink, green and
white. A profusion of white japon
icas and pink geraniums were seen
everywhere. In the doorway of the
parlor was a white wedding bell,
under which the young couple stood.
The bride wore a beautiful white
dress of georgette crepe, her only
ornament being a string of peaij
beads. Rev. Mr. Wingard, pastor of
the Lutheran church here, performed
the ceremony. After the wedding a
dinner was served. The table was
prettily decorated in pink and white
flowers and green fem, using candles
of the same colors. In the center of 1
the bride’s table was a wedding ring
to suggest the occasion.
The bride is a daughter of Joe '
Wise, who has long been a citizen of
Plains and the community. She is I
the youngest child of a family of five. !
Sh - was graduated some years ago
from Plains school and later at-
word, but rattles the package of ■
laundry or fruit which he invariably
ha:-, so sympathetically, yet all the
same, uncomfortably. He realizes
what Mamma will say the next day,
and he wants to convey to me that he
can see my side of the argument
thoroughly.
He did this with Hard and me, and
I immediately cleared the atmosphere
my saying:
“Uncle Jim, I want you to meet
Mr. Forsythe.”
My Uncle gave him an estimating
glance (he surely can measure up the
fellows who call upon me:) as the
two shook hands, then said:
“You don’t mean to say you are
Jerry Forsythe’s son?”
And when Hard admitted he was, i
Uncle Jim couldn’t make enough of
a fuss over him, even offering him
one of those awful tobies he always'
has quantities of in his vest pocket, I
Hard took it as gratefully as if it '
had been an entire box of gold tipped
cigarettes. This made me feel good
through and through. For I’in never
quite sure how stylish a young man
as this football player will accept
those “smokes” of my beloved
Uncle’s.
