Hopeless Case.

Miss Irene Gillicuddy, of Millville, Miss., writes: “I have a gentleman friend who has been keeping company with me all this year, but who has never indicated or intimated that he wishes to be considered other than a friend of mine. I am nineteen years old, with ruby lips, rose-pink cheeks, golden hair, azure eyes and a gentle disposition. Do you think I should hang up some mistletoe and accidentally stand beneath It while he is around, just to encourage him?” “Irene, if a young man needs the encouragement of mistletoe under the circumstances, there is no hope for him.”
