-°‘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

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-
“You didn’t say anything about bun-
