i BOY BLUE 5 nr — - < > | By ELIZABETH GROVESTEIN. | When Jerry Stanton was a very little fellow he hud hern culled "Little Boy Blue” by his fond parents. Now t the term as applied to him had a bigI ger and broader meaning, tor the only ( son of the proud Mr. Stunton was * > sailor boy in blue. I Indeed, Jerry was a lad to be proud | of, one who would be able to do his hit for Uncle Sum. But he had one “ grievous fault which threatened to be his downfall, Jerry was conceited, very, very conceited. Why, it did not stein to surprise him in the least when he learned tiiat the sweetest little girl in the whole wide world had fallen in n love with him. However, the entire ? blame should not be placed on Jerry’s I shoulders. He was doubtless the spoil- • ed pet of an over-indulgent mother. I k Now, to be sure, Louise Gray was . I deeply in love with the handsome Stan-' ’I ton boy, but she knew he thought too ' much of himself, and it troubled her. ; J Time and again she would pucker up . ' her pretty lips, frown and try to think j I I of some plan to make her lover see himself as others saw him. ■j One warm and lovely summer eve- 1 ‘ mug the sailor had come bounding up ! the steps of the Gray homestead. He . rang the bell, knocked at the door and i called “her” name. Useless! No sound reached his ear, and all was darkness within. Slowly he retraced his steps and began to walk around the house. As he reached the side . porch he heard voices, and yes. he recognized his sweetheart’s ringing laughter. With angry steps and beatIng heart he drew nearer. His at-1 1 tempt to play eavesdropper was rewarded when these words reached his ears, "Tom, you’re just a dear and I ■ love you.” These few words, without any doubt, gave Boy Blue the “blues.” Jerry gave one last hopeless glance at the porch above him and then made his way toward the pond. He thought | I he would jump in, but plans for re- | venge caused him to turn around , sharply and start for home. Just then his foot stumbled over something. ’ Jerry fell to the earth with a bang, a pitiful little “mew” was heard, and somewhere out of the darkness came the cry, ‘’Tom, where are you?" I Then the lovers came face to face

■ and both seemed bewildered. Jerry! rubbed bis head and Louise picked up the abused cat. At last Jerry was • humbled. He blurted out something., about being a fool, und asked Louise | to please forgive him. By the mis- , ; chievous twinkle In her eyes and the ■ ; roguish smile on her lips, she told him i all was well uguin. And now the deserted kitten dei manded attention. This time Jerry took him. and as he did so he tauntingly quoted, "Tom, you’re a dear and I love you.” (Copyright, 1919, by tie McClure Newspaper Syndicate) MAKES POINT ON EDUCATION Writer Seems to Think That All la Not Right With Present System Employed. Here is a healthy boy of twelve. What we most want of him la that he shall develop himself In character and < ability to the utmost extent of which! he is capable. If there Is a precious ■ little spark of originality or germ of leadership anywhere about him, we j roost want him to discover that and ■ develop It, for there Is never enough ’ leadership and originality in the world. ; We are always wanting inventors and leaders In industry. In politic*, In science, in art. i' So we take this boy at half past , eight in the morning and stick hltu In a hard seat, right behind a hard desk, and tell him he must not budge If he values his hide. He must not even shuffle his feet or look about; he roust i not whisper to the boy next him. i We give him certain carefully pre- . serfbed books, none of which Interests I him very much, and tell him it make* no difference if one of them happens i to interest him more than another; he! must give exactly the same attention I * to all of them for rigidly prescribed pe- ’ rinds. He is “good” in proportion as he tnkes the books, just as some well-reg-ulated machine takes whatever la fed into It. He is “good” In proportion as he submits to a cast-iron, mechanical j regimen, and represses all impulses j that are not in strict conformity with 1 unvarying rules -which, for a healthy boy, means repressing practically all l natural Impulses. The school is a ponderous. close-webbed machine for compelling absolute uniformity. In the ; matter of rigidity the Prussian mllt- , tary regimen Is by comparison quite lax and roomy. i Is that the best way to treat that 1 hoy, when whet we want of him most of nil Is that he shall develop initiative and leadership?—Saturday Evening Post. Queer Fashions of Other Days. i Writing of the period preceding and following the American Revolutionary war, Watson, in his quaint Annals, has much to say concerning the fashions and apparel of that time. He particularly deplores the fact that the fashions change so rapidly, and, as an Instance of this, he writes: “In the year 1817, I bought in the East Indies a second-hr.ad vest sold by Its owner , it was out of fashion; I have t yet, and it Is nearly as good as new, s “’’hough it has been In and oct of ( bough? it’* timeS respect,vel -’ 6lnc * ’
