EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT
TWO FOND HEARTS WERE
HENCEFORTH TO BEAT AS ONE,
Of Course, His Popping of Momentous
Question Was Sudden, but as a
Matter of Fact It Generally
Is That Way.
“I suppose,” she said, after she had
slyly glanced at the mirror to assure
herself that her hair was becomingly
arranged, “that you will think I am
old-fashioned when I tell you that I
have learned to darn as neatly as my
grandmother ever did.”
“Oh, can you?” he replied.
“And I have taken a complete
course in domestic science.”
“It is getting quite fashionable for
girls to do that, isn’t it?”
"Not at all. I don’t believe one girl
in 100 takes the course—no, not one
in 1,000.”
"What do you get out of domestic
science?”
“Dear me! Haven’t you been inter¬
ested in It at all? I should think every
man would be—every young man, es¬
pecially. We get nearly everything
that is worth while out of it. I have
learned to cook and manage a house¬
hold on scientific principles.”
“That sounds interesting. Supposing
you had a household now, how would
you proceed to manage it?”
“Of course, it would all depend on
the household. One wouldn’t expect
to manage a $20-a-week household in
the same way that a $10,000-a-year
household should be managed.”
“Say a $40-a-week household. Do you
think anything worth while could be
done with that kind?”
“O, I’m sure I should be able to
make It perfectly delightful. You ifee
I am able to make my own shirtwaists,
too, and having an abundance of hair
of my own, I shouldn’t need to spend
money for switches and such
things.”
“And I shave myself, and hardly
ever smoke so my personal ex¬
penses wouldn’t amount to much,” he
put In.
"And I know all about buying at
the butcher’s and the grocer’s,” she
said.
“I have an uncle who Is in the fur¬
niture business, and he would let me
have such things as chairs, tables,
bureaus and beds at cost.”
“Of course, father would expect to
let me have my piano, and my cousin
George, I think, would be able to fix
it so that we could get rugs at a very
reasonable price.”
“Well, then .shall we consider it all
settled?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why, what we have been talking
about. We’re going to get married,
aren’t we?”
"Really, do you mean It?”
"Certainly. What do you suppose I
meant?”
Why, I—I thought you merely
wanted me to explain domestic sci¬
ence. But, if you insist, I feel almost
Bure that I—that 1 can learn to love
you. Would you want me to be ready
as soon as a week from next Thurs¬
day?”
