STAGGERED HIM A LITTLE

As It Sounded to Youth, the Young Lady Had Put a Very Direct Question. This Is the first one—or at least among the first —that has been wafted down by the breezes of Lakp Michigan. The time is a beautiful, moonless night The place—the hotel at Macatawa Park. The girl—well, the girl was there, too. They had Just completed the fifth dance —three couples and some thirtyodd girls—and they had strolled out on to the balcohy to rest He, just out of high school, and she, out of high school also, but a little farther out, occupied the end of the rail, and a long line of fluffy pink and white with scarcely a touch of relieving black stretched on out the length of the portico toward the lake. “So," he said, beginning the conversation, “you are from Indiana?" “You’re mighty right," she answered. “IJoosier girl.” He stuttered and stammered. “Why —er—really—” he said, “that is, I don’t know —I mean I haven’t decided yet who.” —Indianapolis News.
