’ WINDY L WOLF SAYS First, let me say it’s leap year! Frank Coyle tells me it happened on the Egg Harbor road one night last week. The long, lean, black roadster cut through the night. In it were a man and a maid. He drove. She nestled close to him, her arm about him, her fragrant hair brushing his cheek. Her voice: “Roger dear, I love you. Will you marry me?” The car came to a dead stop. His voice: “Why, Ethel! The very idea of such a thing.” Her grip on him became more deadly. Her voice: “But I thought that you cared for me just a lit tle bit. Come on, promise me.” His voice: “You must give me time to think it over, Ethel; but I am afraid that mother would never consent.” Her voice (as she draws away from him) is hard and cold: “Then get out of my car and walk back, you good for nothing flirt.” * * * Knowledge is power, but a man doesn’t feel any stronger when he gets the information that his bank account is overdrawn, sighs Arthur Griswold Walker. * * • Former Mayor Brehman had a rather exciting experience on a recent hunting trip.

The whole boat lurched. For two hours they fought, the fish and the man. He pulled this way and that; the fish ran to the north, south, east and under neath. It was terrific. The man’s arms tired rapidly, when he looked up and perceived an island close by. “Ha!” said he, triumphantly, and managed to get on shore, where he tied the fish to a huge oak tree. “I shall come back in the morn ing after him.” The next morning he went back. The fish had pulled the island a mile to the northwest. * * * Freddie Eisler says if girls say what they think, we’d hear some thing like this: “Why, of course I don’t want to stay at home this evening, George. Doesn’t it ever occur to you to buy any theatre tick ets?” “Well, you are without a doubt the worst dancer I’ve had this evening. What school of danc ing do you follow?” “My dear girl, straighten that headdress of yours. It’s been crooked all evening and it looks terrible!” "This candy you brought is rather stale, Dick. Next time try Mrs. Snyder’s, even though it costs a little more.” “Now, Alice, you know you have no idea of ever coming over to see me. You’ve been coming for the last two years.” “Say, Casper, please ring off. I don’t know why you insist on these endless telephone conversa tions every evening.” “Edgar, please don’t sing again. I hate to tell you, but 1 guess I must. You 'haven’t got a voice.” * * * Speaking of bathing in famous springs, said the tramp to the tourist, I bathed in the spring of ’86. * * * Mrs. Hopkins testifies, from a long and diligent attendance at the movies, that she has commit ted to memory the following ax ioms of life: That the prodigal cannot return, except through a terrific storm, probably snow; that succor for the distressed can not arrive until the fifty-ninth | second of the sixtieth minute of Walter T.
