The fairy godmother had been,* called in consultation. “You see, godmother,” explained AP thea, “it’s like this: There are two young men who seem very fond ofj me. and I am so fond of both ofi them that I find it hard to choose.” "Such things have happened be-i fore," said the godmother drily. ‘Terhaps. Anyway, when John! comes to see me I think it is John. And when George comes to see me t think it is George.” “I see," said the godmother. "But don’t you feel a little more confidence in one than the other?" "That’s it, godmother. Now, when I’m out with John in his automobile I’m always grabbing at the steering wheel when we come to a dangerous part of the road. When I ride wttb George I sit perfectly still. * That looks like more confidence in Georgs, doesn’t It?" "Or else it looks like more anxiety for the safety of John,” replied the godmother, and she put on her hood and took her cane and went away. Three months later Althea married John.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
