Summer and Winter See a Difference in the Ethics of Courtship. [Detroit Free Press. When the two girls met on Woodward avenue the other morning there was a look of recognition flashed back and forth, which would convey to any but the most obtuse the knowledge that there was something of interest between them. - -It was too public right there to go into details, so they hurried along to a a quieter place on a side street when the younger one gave way to her curiosity. “Did Frank come up last night? she asked excitedly. “Of course. Hasn’t he been every night for two weeks?” ‘ Did he propose?” The other girl blushed. “Yes,” she answered. “And did you accept him?** “Certainly.” The first one showed her disappointment ' “Oh,” she exclaimed, “what did you do that for?" “What should I have done?” asked the other in astonishment. “Why, made him wait a week and ask again, o£ course,” The older one actually whistled her surprise. “Well, I guess not,” she said. .“This isn’t summer time,” Then they both laughed and came back on to Woodward avenue and went chattering along volubly.
