Humorous Story
I I ' - 1
By WILL ROGERS
W7ELL. young people courting are
w always fanny. You never hear
folks laughing1 and making jokes
about the red birds or the blue jays
or the squirrels courting. And still
I bet they're all Just as bashful and
awkward about it as human young
people. And the inore the young
WL
people get modern, the less they
are basnful ebout courting, too.
A fellow meets a girl he's been
trying to make a hit with, and Lt>
says to her:
, ''Say, can't I coma and see you
at your hopes?"
She says: "No. What for?"
"Why, to keep you company.
Don't you sometimes get lonesome
for somebody that can be a companion
to you?"
"Yes, that's right," she say.*, "t
guess you can come and see mo,
since you understand me so well.
1 am awful lonesome since my par'
rot died, and 1 Hot. you can take
his place some evenings."
