Bobbin's Call

"I brought somebody to see you.* announced the small neighbor an th a grown-up neighbor opened the back door. The small neighbor carefully guided a very fat little boy with a great many stuffy clothes on across the threshold. Then he stood, grinning, Just outside the door. "What a cunning little somebody!* exclaimed the grown-up neighbor, as she stooped and kissed one of the small boy’s bright red cheeks. "Come into the living room and sit down a while.” "Well, you know we can’t stay very long,” said the small neighbor when the two visitors had clambered up Into two chairs. “We ran away, you know.” "The grown-up neighbor opened her eyes wide. "Well!” she ejaculated; "that wasn't a very nice thing to do, was it?" ‘lt was nicer than not doing it," said the small neighbor with decision. She shook her shoulders rather contemptuously and added: "Anyway, it was only just Frank we ran away from. You see,” she went on after a mo ment, "Frank is Bobbin’s brother. This is Bobbins, you know. Frank Is six or nine years older than Bobbins, and he’s a very bad boy." "That’s a pity,” commented the grown-up neighbor. "But I suppose Bobbins Is a good boy.”

"Oh, yes, he’s good enough," agreed the small neighbor. “He’s good enough now, but of course he won’t be good at all when he gets as old as Frank.” "Maybe he’ll keep right on being good,” ventured the grown-up neighbor optimistically. The small neighbor looked at her with pity In her eyes. "But he’s a good boy,” she explained, "and boys aren’t ever good except when they’re quite little.” "We ran away,” she continued, “because Frank said that if we didn’t begin to stop acting- the way we were he’d ’nltlate us right that very minute." “My!" exclaimed the grown-up neighbor, “I don’t wonder you ran away. What did you do that made him threaten such a terrible thing?" "Oh, we didn’t really do anything,’ said the small neighbor easily. “We just put some mud in Frank’s hat. What he threatened wasn’t so very terrible, because my mother wouldn’t really let him do it. But we just decided that we’d come away for a while and we were coming anyway, because I wanted you to see Bobbins. I like him, don’t you? I think he*H cute."

"He certainly is as cute as he can be,” agreed the grown-up neighbor, while the object of their conversation stared, Buddha-llke, at nothing. "He’s quite little, too. I don’t believe he’s much more that half as big as you are.” The small neighbor regarded her charge critically. “He’s qnlte small up and down,” she agreed, ''but he’s pretty big around, don’t you think f” "Well, yes; I suppose he Is. Who is he?” "My mother says he Is my cousin,” said the small neighbor rather doubtfully, "but I don’t see how he can be when I never say him until day before yesterday. His mother’s name Is Aunt Molly, and they’re going to stay at our house maybe two weeks and then their daddy’s coming to take them home."

She hopped lightly down from her chair. "I guess we’ll have to be going,” she said. "You see, they don’t know where we are and maybe they’ll be wondering about it. Come on, Bobbins." Bobbins rolled over on his fat little stomach and wriggled down from his chair. His masterful girl cousin took him by the hand and guided him toward the door. There she paused. "You know,” she said, looking up into the grown-up neighbor’s face with wide, innocent eyes, "Bobbins didn’t want to come the least bit in the world, so I had to tell him that sometimes you had little peppermint candles In your house and once, or maybe three times, you gave me some. Of course," she went on with a troubled look, "mother said I was never to ask you for candy, but she said if you asked me to have some I could take it It wouldn’t be polite not to, would, it?” / "It would be the height of Ing,” gurgled the grown-up neighbor aa she hastily departed to do herfduty as a hostess. j "Good-by, little people,” she/called after them a moment later as they, according to their individual!methods of progression, jumped and. 4 thumped down the steps. f v

Thoroughly Cured.

"Then you didn’t ask for her hand?" "No; when I went to Interview her father he was buss with, the furnace. He said to come down, and after watching his struggles for half an hour 1 didn’t want to get married.”

The Musician’s Advice.

A young lady called one day on Rubenstein, the great pianist, who had consented to listen to her playing. "What do you think I should do now?” she asked when she tied finished. 1 I "Get married,” was the amr yer.

Parted By Fate

"He’s the very nicest man I know!* mourned the girl with the yellow hair, “and I keep on treating him as though be belonged In the back yard of civilization! It’s awful!” "Are you talking backward?” inquired the girl In the green suit. "If It keeps on," proceeded the girl with the yellow hair, "I think I shall lose my mind! Some jinx Is mixing up my fate—some enemy has hodooed me! I tell you the infant I met Alfred I had a sort of Something told me that here wasthe man I had been waiting for all my life ” "I should think so!" breathed her friend. "He gets a salary of SIO,OOO, didn’t you say ?” "It was Alfred's personality,” indignantly asserted the yellow-haired girl. "I hope you realize I am not mercenary enough to be influenced by anything his cousin may have told me! T could see by his expression that he was a wonderful man. And his silk socks and his tie matched perfectly. I think you can tell so much by those little individualities! Don’t you?"

"But listen! Just when I had it all fixed to ride in the same auto with him, his cousin called him away to ride In hers to the beach picnic. And then, when I was about to sit beside' him at the campfire, one of the men called him away to carry wood, and before he got back Arty Manners had flopped down in his place—and all I could do was give him a sad smile across the blaze. Even that was spoiled, because just as he caught my eye somebody dropped a plate of sandwiches on his head in passing, and nothing annoys a man like being mussed up that way. "He did call to see me before he went back to New York —and arrived when our living room was full of some ancient relatives, whom we have to be nice to because they own a mine that may pan out well some day—and my total conversation with him consisted of 'Why, how do you do!* and ‘Goodnight!* The rest of the time Uncle Benjamin was explaining to him how to get eighty bushels of potatoes from an acre instead of forty. Alfred is in the wholesale dry goods business, and, of course, was Intensely Interested in the potatoes.

"He sent me a ten-pound box of candy on my birthday, and I wrote him a perfectly beautiful letter, which he never answered. That was because he never got it. That monogrammed expression of thanks is probably stuck in a mall chute somewhere, or is being kept as a perfect example to be used In somebody’s compendium on ‘How to Write Elegant Letters.* i

"I knew he never got it because the next time he waS in Chicago on a business trip he phoned me, and I cleared the matter up. He/forgave me at once and asked me/to come down for dinner and the 'theater—and I had already promised Arty Manners, who Is absolutely! ridiculous as a possible life partner,; but very insistent “ on" one’s keeping engagements. And it was Alfred’s only evening in town! And he couldn’t come out for afternoon tea because he had business until 5 o’clock!” "How perfectly tragic!" "It was! Three weeks later/father took me with him on a little * jaunt down east, and when I got blip, headed for New York X was happy as though I had eaten the canary bird. I got father safely interested in an old college chum, and I phoned Alfred’s office. For once in our lives we should have had a peaceful little visit over the luncheon table. I shall always hate his stenographer’s voice. She said that Alfred had left the day before for a vacation up the Hudson, and would not return in ten days! I developed a dislike for New York and made father go home lhe next afternoon.

"A month later Alfred was again in Chicago. Hfe had taken the precaution to write that he was) coming and to reserve one afternoon and evening of my time. The morning of that day I fell off the stepladder and sprained my ankle so badly thaft I was in bed week. I couldn’t even get to the phone to talk to him. He struck Chicago on his return trip and phoned, asking me to dinner and I accepted. That afternoon we got a telegram saying that grandmother had died and we left on the 5 o'dock train. Why, it’s enough to make any man think I was sitting up nights planning how to avoid him! Alfred must have a lovely nature to stand It so sweetly. But another disaster or two win finish even him! If it happens again " "A telegramfor you," said the maid -as she entered the room. The yel-low-haired girl read It aloud with stuttering lips—"ln town one day—may I call Thursday night? Alfred." The yellow-haired girl bat her hands upon her .brow. "Oh!" she moaned. "It's unspeakable! rm chairman of the banquet given by our college clubThursday night, and unless I die I've got to go! Oh, Alfred, Alfred*" “Ha, ha!" said her unsympathetic friend. “Excuse me for laughing at anything so sad —but I guess this iswhere Alfred tears your/memory from his heart!"

Tragedy of Today

(In one act —which Is plenty.) The' cast-—Mazie McMjwh; her father, Wellington McMush, a man of rough exterior, though smooth; Hector Hangback, the village hasbeen. Scene —A room in the McMush dwelling. Costly tapestries and rugs and a thousand-dollar bulldog testify to the refinement of the home. Time —The shades of night are falling loudly. Father has sent for Mazie. She enters fox trotting. Father (abruptly)—“What’s this I hear about your being engaged?" Mazie (puzzled at first, but her face lighting)—“Oh, yes. I knew there was something I wanted to tell you and mother. That’s it—l’m engaged.” (The wind sighs outside. The dog sighs inside. It looks like snow.) Father (controlling his anger)— "Well, what is it I am expected to support? To what, may I ask, are you engaged? Who is the candidate for board and room in this home which, the contractor said, would cost |IO,OOO, and which cost $25,000 before he finished It?” Mazie —"Why, it’s name is Hector Hangback.”

Father (angrily)—“What, you marry that man? I’d rather see you dead or in the movies.” (The clock in the city hall strikes three. It is eight o’clock.) Mazie (weeping)—“But, father.” Father —“It’s no use. Go into reverse. Here we are—a family that has owned a six ever since they came out. You were born with a sevenpassenger touring car in your mouth, you might say. And you exect me to stand for an alliance with a man who drives a four roadster made in 1912! It cannot were! I’ll wager he’s never made more than eighty miles an hour on Main street in his life.” Mazie —“He’s been arrested twice for reckiss driving, so there.” Father—“He probably ran into a horse. Anybody can do that. We, who have always owned a six—or did until the last repair bill came inunite with such a family? No!"

Mazie —"Nevertheless, I shall marry him. And, anyway, he’s figuring on having a new car." Father —"Yes, because he has seen me looking over an eight—that’s the way he figures on having a new car.” ■ Mazie —"I don’t care. I’m going to marry him.” 1 r ” (Outside it is snowing rapidly.) Father—“ Then out you go.” (He opens the door.) Mazie—“But it’s snowing, father." Father —“Then put on your tire chains if you don’t want to skid.” (Mazie loaves.) Father—“ And -don’t you ever dare to darken the door of my garage again."

Baby Kept Them.

Mrs. Winship left her little son, Rjpdall, to play with his baby brother. Shortly after she heard the baby screaming lustily. Hurrying to the place where the children were playing, she found Randall picking up his marbles, while the youngster was trying vainly to get hold of some of them. “Why, Randall," said the mother, “don’t be so selfish'! Let your little brother play with some of your marbles.” “But," protested Randall, "he means to keep them always, mother." “Oh, no, dear; I guess not," replied the mother. "What makes you think that?” • . "Well, I guess yes!" howled Randall. “I know he does ’cause he’s swallowed three of ’em already.”

A Hard Road.

A little maid of seven summers asked her mother: “Mamma, if I get married when I grow up will I have a ? husband like papa?" The mother answered with a smile: ’ “Why, yes, dear, if you get married you will have a husband like papa." The little brow clouded. Then she asked: "If I don’t get married will I be an old maid like Aunt Nellie?” “Yes, dear, you would be an old maid," answered the mother, laughing at this rather complex question; “but whatever put such thoughts in that little head?” , But the child didn’t laugh; she only looked grave, and said, dejectedly: "Well, no matter which way we go it’s a pretty tough world for us women, ain’t it?” \

Standing Room Only.

Harper Pennington has revealed'the origin of the "standing room only" Joke: It appears that there was hardly ever any furniture in Whistler's house. He was peculiarly parsimonious in the matter of chairs. This led to a remark of Corn Grain’s which came famous. . - "Ah, Jimmy! Glad to see you paying to such a full house!" said Dick (Corny) Grata when shaking hands before a Sunday luncheon, while glarInr around the studio with Ms large, protruding eyes, in search of something to sit mu "What do you mean?" asked Whistler. "Standing room only," replied the actor. k. - ■
