Kittinger At Hopkinsville Ga.________ _____ ___died Column two ____ Bert Fairbanks out.” HIS WIFE’S EDUCATION BY EDWARDINE BAILEY 1 Leander Southwich had been married scarcely a year when by the death of an uncle in Nevada he fell heir to an estate worth four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The inheritance was so unexpected that for sometime it was difficult to believe that he, an humble grocer, was the possessor of a fortune greater even that that of his boyhood dreams. “four hundred and fifty thousand dollars! What’ll we do with all that money?” he said to his wife. Sophronaia Southwick, equal to any emergency, from weighing a codfish to making up the monthly accounts was never at a loss for an idea. “We must go into society.” She promptly replied. “Society!” shouted Leander. “What do we know about society?” “Now, Leander, it’s ridiculous for you to speak in that strain. You know none of the rich New Yorkers, and I believe there are four hundred of the, knew any more about society that we do.” “But they had some education, hadn’t they?” “Yes, but can’t we get education as willt as they?” “How do you propose to get it?” “I propose to go to one of those seminaries.” “Go to a seminary,” shouted her husband. “Why, I’m not twenty -three and you told me this morning that I didn’t look more than eighteen.” Southwick, of course, saw the absurdity of his wife’s position; but realizing it was useless to try to dissuade her, ____ his efforts and finally acquiesced in her ______. 11 “By Jove! She’s a dandy! Do you suppose _____ have the first ____ without at the next reception!” “I don’t know about that.” I think if you wanted to, you could ___ on Bert Fairbanks out. The speakers were two seniors of Stanford seminary at Ephesus, N.H. Stanford is a boarding school for both sexes and takes high rank. But strange as it may appear, its more than local renown is derived from its sheet and pillow case parties. At these parties the young ladies faces as masked, their forms are draped with sheets arranged in Greek fashion, and their heads are enveloped in pillow cases. What makes the parties especially enjoyable is that they are not previously announced. For not until the sheeted forms like a troop of ghosts, file into the concert hall are the young men aware that the monthly reception has been varied. The presence of “new girl” adds a bit of sensation to a Stanford reception, of whom the ___ seniors were speaking. She was tall and slender of graceful figure and of fair complexion. Her blue eyes sparkled under long lashes and a perfect Roman nose gave her an air of superior intelligence. Her mouth was shapely, if not small and was capable of the sweetest smile, although its general expression one of mischief. Such was the Sophronia Southwick of Sanford- a decided improvement on the Sophronia Southwick of rural Northrop. By an inadvertence on the part of the secretary coupled with Sophornia’s love of mystery, she had been registered as Miss instead of Mrs. Southwick. Leander Southwick was not an adept in killing time; therefore, after Sophronia’s departure, he had sufficient time on his hands to furnish him with a problem more perplexing that the distribution of his suddenly acquired wealth. Letters from Ephesus somewhat broke the monotony of his life. One especially delighted him. He tore it open and read it with avidity. It was a breezy epistle, and in it Sophoronia disclosed, in gushing language, the secret of the sheet and pillow case diversion. “It’s going to be awfully jolly.” she wrote. “Not a soul will know us. That mole on my right hand by which you could always tell me when we went to the masquerades hasn’t been noticed here, I think. How I wish you could be here.” 111 “Have you asked her yet?” “No, I thought I’d better wait till she came up.” “But suppose Fairbanks has asked her.” “Oh, I don’t believe he’s got the nerve. Besides, Miss Southwick doesn’t care for him, anyway.” This dialogue between Clarence Whitney and Chet Tufts took place near the platform of the concert hall in Stanford seminary. About twenty other boy students were present, and by and by, as the orchestra began to “tune up” the townspeople flocked in. When the 8 o’clock bell rang, the settees were filled and a great crowd was about the door which led to the girls’ corridor. An”Oh!” of delicious surprise came from the assembled crowd as the sheeted forms filed in. The orchestra struck up a march and Tufts almost instantly took up to himself a partner. Whitney prepared to do likewise. But simultaneous with Whitney, a man, man not a student and apparently a stranger, seized a shapely hand which hung from a gracefully-shaped sleeve. “I beg your pardon,” replied the stranger, with considerable feeling. To this Whitney impatiently retorted? “Excuse me, sir, but I have this lady and mean to keep her.” “You mean to keep her, do you? Do you know who she is? This woman is my wife, you puppy.” “Wife!” exclaimed the bystanders. “Oh!” groaned several while the sheeted form shrank toward Whitney. One tall form pushed its way thorough the crowd to hear the stranger declare: “this woman is my wife!” Horror-stricken, she cast a swift sharp glance at the stranger, uttered a wild shriek and would have fallen to the floor had she not been supported by one of the professors. She had fainted, and was conducted from the room. “Miss Southwick has fainted.” cried several. Then the figure, which the stranger claimed as that of his wife, re Column Three For the whole school!” _____ now peered into Leander’s brain and he laughed heartily as he realized what complications had been wrought by the mole on Sophronia’s hand and Sophornia joined in his laughter when he had explained to her his mistake” “I wanted to give you a surprise” he said. “My letter, I suppose, put that in your head.” “Yes, dear.” Two weeks after the memorable sheet and pillow case party, the principal of Stanford seminary announced to the students; First- Twenty-five thousand dollars for the erection of a gymnasium, to the know as the Southwick gymnasium. Second – Ten thousand dollars to establish a scholarship for married couples of limited means, said scholarship to be known as the Sophoronia scholarship. MARRYING A WIDOW. No, son; don’t marry a widow. She is too calculating, and loving by arithmetic is not romantic. Real love should not have any ______ than a bottle of soda water suddenly tapped _____It should fizz and fuss just like there wasn’t anything else on earth. Ah! The electric spark from the heart has not been tampered with. The widow is all right and she is pretty – but don’t marry her. The idea of a second –hand heart appears flat and insipid no form! No, son don’t make a pawnbroker’s shop out of your trusting heart! If you do marry, teach your wife that you, who gained her heart under the pale glitter of the Milky Way, where the restless young meteor chases its love across the heavens – I say, convince her that you were at the barber’s till 1 A.M. there is no memory so pleasing as the knowledge that your wife knows that you would not lie. But the widow is too fly. She will kiss her second edition at 7:45 P.M. It will be a duty kiss, not like be _____ of the geysers of the Rockies, but tired and lethargic. She will not coil about you like the helpless and enticing ivy, while her golden tresses wander over your snow white collar. She will kiss you by geometrical measurement and say at parting. “George, dear, it is just 7:15 o’clock. It will take you just five minutes to get a drink, twenty minutes to get shaved and five minutes for a shine. Here is a dollar dear. Bring back sixty-five cents and return at 8:15 o’clock please, as we shall have bridal calls tonight.” No boy, don’t marry a commercial college. Get hold of a girl who thinks what you say is true and it will take her fifteen years to find out what a mistake she has made. – Bob Burdette NETTER’S RAID On taking charge of this office we found in it quite a number of nice, neat little pamphlets giving the account of Capt.
