"But there is one subject, Billy, you

-°‘It’s coma."

"Corns?" “Yos. You see, when Aunt Maria's

husband was poor-before he struck oil in Texas-he was a chiropodlst. Aunt Marla has always seemed ashamed oi thaxfddt, and we were always caution- ed not to lay A word along those lines." _ ,

"Well, I'lI try not to tread on her oes." “0h, Billy!" expostulated Mabel. , i “When is sho coming?" “Tomorrow. Come up in the evening

and call.”

The following day Billy went about

ruefuliy studying a little memorandum he had written out and kept constantly repeating to himself, "Mustn’t say corns." Consequently when he ap- peared at the home of his iiancee that evening and was presented to Aunt Marla the only topic In his thoughts was corns. He replied to all her ap- proaches townrd conversation in mono- syllables. Finally there came s pro .longed and deadly lull, and Billy, after racking his brains for something to

any, blurted out: V,

“Did you ever read Bunyan's ‘Pil-

grim’s Progress? "

"Oh, Billy!" faintly gasped Mabel.

The withering looks from the other

members of the family and the feeling that he had made himself generally disliked caused Billy to bring his call to an abrupt termination. The next day Mabel telephoned him to meet her in the park. -

"Billy," sho cried as soon as she law

him, “I know you so well that I know how it happened, but mamma and the girls are furious at you and declare you did it on purpose, and I guess. muy, you had better not como again until Aunt Maria has gone and the

family is cooled down."

Billy groaned-
