(Watch for the loveiy princess oi The nc Reuiitit" Sne II i The Story We were out in the country visiting and one afternoon several people called. Our hostess said: "Come out on the lawn and we'll try the new game of archery." We went out and there was the target painted red and white, and black. We each took our turn with- the bow and arrow and had great fun. As one of the young latjirs in the party stood up with the bow stretched, ready to lake aim, ore of the young men Bobby insisted he was vamping her, said: "She looks like a young Diana!" "Diana?" repeated Bobby "Greek?" "Yes, Bobby." I smiled.

They didn't care for men and all swore that they would never marry." "A whole lot of old maids," said Bobby In disgust. "But they had a very good time." I laughed. "They used to loin in the chorus and sing the praises of tatouas mother.
