“Sophisticated Billy”

By LOUISE OLIVER

(Copyright, ISIS, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) ' I Billy Crawford was tired and wanted a rest. It had been an Intensely busy winter at the plant, with every wheel turning and every man working, and now that the warm, languorous days of spring had come he decided that he needed a vacation. So he called on Eleanor Gage one evening to bid her good-by and to impart the news that -he was going to New York “for a time.” "What do you call a ‘time,’ Billy?” ■he asked. He flicked the ash from his cigarette. . A “Well," he answered, with a man-of-the-world air, “it means to the sophisticated a Wtind of pleasure. The usual thing, you know —shows, restaurants, roof gardens this time of the year, and So forth. Lots of prefty, well-dressed women, people you get along wefl with fl! "you’re the right sort, and all that. Dickie* Merrick and I usually hung out together. Dick knows scads of people. I’m to meet him at the Glltmore.” Eleanor counted her stitches before ■he answered. ■'But just now, Billy, do you think It’s the thing?" He regarded her with tolerant amusement. “I suppose you mean the war. You rather have a sneaky idea I ought to enlist, haven't you, Nellie?" “Oh, it isn’t exactly that. I just think it’s not good taste to throw away money foolishly when it’s so badly needed elsewhere.” “Well, maybe it looks like fiddling while Rome burns, but I’ve earned the

"Then, Young Man, Why Don’t You?”

right to have a good time. I’ve worked all winter on war stuff —what more do you want?” “The boys in the camps have worked all winter, too, Billy. And they’re not getting any rest now, or prospect of rest with France ahead.” He threw away his cigarette impatiently, and then he said a mean tiling. "That’s what it is to live in a small. town. You girls are like every one else; you get one idea in your head and you can’t get it out. That’s what I’m going to New York so get away from knitting ami lied Cross and Liberty bond fiends and war talk. I’m going where people understand, where they have a broader view and don’t think you’re a criminal if you have a little fun.” Then Eleanor Waxed righteously angry. Forgotten was the sock which fell unheeded along with the ball of yarn at her feet. • “Then, if living in New York means to forget the war and our boys over there for one instant. I’m glad I am a small-town girl. And, although just now you don’t seem especially anxious for my answer to a certain question you asked me a week or so ago, I’m going to tell you now that I won’t marry you. You’re a slacker.” Billy left at that, Crestfallen. He really hadn’t meant to get into it so deep. Besides, he really did care for Eleanor’s opinion, and he cargd for her a great deal; but he had to confess that the glamour of his trip ahead aoftened the sorrow of losing her very considerably. Besides, he thought she might change her mind by the time he got back - . z The next day William R. Seymour registered at the big metrojwHtyn hotel and waited for Richaril MerNck, who arrived in the course of a iyw hours, and proceeded to tell his troubles to his friend. „ “I say. Bill, has your town gone nuts . on the war?” "Has it?” whistled Billy. y “I’m hanged if I’m not glad to get jßway,” went on Dickie. “A fellow Ican’t buy himself a pack of fags any more without some Jane piping up and saying: ‘Wouldn’t you rather invest in War Savings stamps?’ Or some grandmother poking in with: ‘Half that, young man, would keep a Belgian child for one day.’ I did buy a bond. Now I wish they’d let me alone.” “Same here,” said Billy, gloomily. Then brightening: “But we’re wasting (time, old man. We’re here to forget. Let's call up me girls and get someIthing started.” , “The girls” cousins of Dick**, *|fery fashionable and up to date.

“All right. I’ll ring them now. Sny, Bill, did you ever see so uiuny soldiers in your life?” t “Never did. Nellie says they don’t get a rest. She ought to come to New York and find out. , I shouldn’t mind splurging round in a uniform myself." But William’s remark bad been overheard. An old gentleman at the next table leaned forward. * Then, young man, why don’t you? You can get one for nothing." Billy flushed and murmured something about doing war work. But the old man went on. "These soldiers and officers are leaving for overseas duty. Most of them go from the port of New York. The Englishmen and French soldiers are here on war work. Some of them off ships that carry our men over. They’re all here for a purpose, young man. And, if they tippear to splurge, surely tbgy ve earned the right. Why sbouljln t a man be proud of his uniform?”

Our friends left soon after. Leona Merrick herself answered ftielr call. “Oh, I’m so glnd you boys are here. I’m nearly dead with work and can’t got a soul to help, every one is so busy.. I've got two tons of stuff to take from our Red Cross unit to headquarters. I’m running n motor truck, you know, and you have saved my life. The boxes are too heavy for me to handle. I’ll run the ear around to the hotel and pick you up.” The two men looked at each other, but had nothing to say. Leona Merrick was very pretty. Of course they could not refuse. That night, tenderly nursing the blisters on their hands, they got ready for the theater. Things were looking up a bit. The whole jolly crowd was going, and their jaded spirits revived at the prospect. The play w’as Blanche Bates in "Getting Together,” a plea for men to join the army, an appeal that was an appeal. There was no after-theater supper as of old. “Don’t you want to hear Abbe Flynn tomorrow?” asked Jane Merrick. "We’re all going after surgical dressing class. They say he is wonderful.” Again Billy and Dick exchanged glances and again they accepted. At the end of a week, after hearing the bishop of York, Major Watt and Anne Morgan, they were ready to go home. They had changed —not their opinion of New York but of their own towns. When Eleanor opened the door to a very contrite Billy, he was in uniform. . “I come to ask you to forgive me, dear,” he said humbly. “I guess I had to have my eye-teeth cut on this war business. Well. I’ve cut ’em, dear. I see now I’ve got to go. You were right —I was a slacker.” “No, you’re not, Billy, dear.” declared Eleanor proudly. “It takes a brave igan to acknowledge when he's Wrong. I didn't mean what I said about the other, Billy, either. i'll marry you whenever you like.”

NEWSPAPER MAN’S HARD LUCK

Surely All Brothers of the Pen Will Feel Sympathetic Over What Befell “Wally." 'ln the life of a newspaper man many sfrange things lief all. Some are good and some are bad. find some are both, depending on the point of view. In Butte, Mont., there lived for many years a famous newspaper man. His name was Warren Walsworth, but to more people than any other man in town he was known, as “Wally,” and that sobriquet was a clear mirror, to “Wally’s” character. Then one day it happened. “Wnlly's customary joviality was sadly modified ; instead of his celebrated smile, he wore a look of perplexity. Plainly something deep and profound was weighing bn “Wally’s” mind. After much solicitous urging, the secret was revealed. “Boys,” ahnounced “Wally” mournfully, “I’ve inheritetj a mansion on the Hudson, and I'm expected to keep It up.” i.

His Growth.

“This wnr has broadened us all,” said the philosophical guest. “Marty a man is much bigger because of it than he would otherwise have been.’ “That’s a fact, Mr. Solljjm.” agreed the landlord of the Petunia tavern. “There’s Amzi Fagg. for instance. A few years ago he didn't feel equal to doing more than telling the rest of us how the town government here should be conducted. - But now lie considers himself perfectly competent to settle all the peace terms. His wife, by the way, still takes in washing. If you need your shirts and collars done up she’ll give you as good a job as a Chinaman could, and just about as cheap.”—Kansas City Star.

Perseverance Does It.

“It’s the allies’ perseverance that won this war,” said Senator Lewis. “The allies suffered defeat after defeat. but from each defeat they learned something. “It’s like the advict? which the editor of the Cinnaminson Scimitar gave to an unlucky wooer who had been rejected by seven girls in turn. The editor wrote: “ ‘Unlucky Wooer. —Go ahead. Don’t be discouraged. Never say die. You must have learnt a lot by what you have gone through. Strikes us you must hold something like a record. Well, stick all your experience together and make love to the next girl who comes round and takes your fancy. If she don’t reciprocate, try another. Remember you only want one girl to say yes.’ ’’ ,

THE ARMY'S SOUL.

The bass-drum Is the army’s heart. Oh! hear it thump and beat. And endleaa lines es marching men Compose the army's feet. The bugle la the army’s voice; Far over vale and hill It calls the soldier to the flag In accents sweet and shrill. The gun, with tongue of darting flame And black ,'lps grinning wide And hungry, Is the army's mouth That gapes unsatisfied; And In the mighty battleplane Arising to Its goal On wings that brush the starry dome. Behold the army’s soul! —Mina Irving, In Leslie**.

FRENCH WOMEN SAVED CROPS

Their Flrat Great Work Waa Taking Care of the Crops and Vintage of 1914.

Unlike the women of Great Britain, French women had to endure no impatient waiting for their government’s summons to service. It was natural that France, where conscription Instantly, dramatically, called active irfbn away from civil life, should be the first to summon Its women; for war came just at t< foment when the crops and the approncnlng vintage demanded attention. Vlvlanl turned at once to his countrywomen. His proclamation to the women of France was posted in every village; it read: “Your country calls to you to complete the work of gathering the crops. . . . The wheat stands unreaped and the time of vintage approaches. . . . I ask you to maintain the life of our fields, to finish this year's harvest and prepare for that of next year. You cannot render a greater service to your country.” The response is a matter of history. Women, and not only wpmen of the farming class, poured Into the fields. Young lAd old, rich and poor, labored together early and late. WKat they did then for France was but an earnest of the service they since rendered, maintaining the life of the country no less than the life of the fields.—Yale Review.

What, Indeed!

What will become of the automobile advertisements, wltfi passengers in the latest modes, ladies of super-ear tidy beauty wrapped in eddying veils, gentlemen with fierfectly creased trousers, and chauffeurs of superchauffeur grace—whpt will become of these beautiful works of art, now that the making of airplanes is about to supersede making of autos? “The car without a murmur,” "the car that runs like a _l6-kar*at watch,” “see that vana-dium-steel percolator, it distinguishes the Lightning car from all others,” these inscriptions were not really what attracted purchasers. It was the beautiful harmony between the lady passenger’s complexion and the maroon tint of the auto that lured prospective buyers. These gorgeous posters caused them to fouget that tires blow out. that roads are hot am? dusty, and tliat gasoline costs a lot. With their passing will pass one of life’s brightest features, even for those who never could afford to run even a small car. —New York Evening Post.

Mule Meat. “If the Germans capture any American mules.” remarked the Birmingham Age-Herald, in the closing days of the war, "they may be tempted to try mule steak.” Perhaps so, but we trust none of our friends over there will ever be called upon to resort to any such expedient. We are proud of bur mules, the great work they have done for victory. So appreciative are we of the mule’s services that we are ready to stand hats off when he attempts to bray the ‘Star-Spairgled Banner,” but we can never, no, never, recommend his steak even to the despised Boche as anything approaching a gastronomic dainty.—Nashville Banner.

New Imported Pest In Australia. Sheepmen of Victoria’s Australian western district have - been making lamentations about another imported horror. This is the ordinary European brown rat, which is now spreading widely over all the expansive, fertile acres of the state’s oldest settlements. The vermin are alleged to burrow like rabbits into the soft ground, coming out when opportunity offers to gobble the nearest eatables. During the last drought, Australia having had nobody in the Jo-seph-of-Egypt class to prepare for the inevitable, thousands of tons of fodder were Imported from the United States and elsewhere and the rats, If is thought, were carted into the country hi this feed.

“Our” Car Looked Larger.

An Evansville feminist was recently married. She and the bridegroom went to the minister’s home In his touring car. The ceremony was over rtnd the couple had started down the walk, .when the minister caught the conversation. He listened eagerly always anxious to know exactly what a new ’bride first says to her husband when they are alone. And into his astonished ears came the feminisms speech: “Doesn’t our car look larger than It did when we first came in?”— Indianapolis News.
