SHE DIDN'T.
It was plain enough to all other passengers on the ferry boat that the two were in love and engaged, vet the girl seemed to doubt his fervour, just a little. Therefore, as the boat reached mid-stream she leaned over and tenderly said—- " Johnnie, lam going to test your love. I am going to jump, overboard, and if you really love me I know you'll jump after me and save me." "Yes, I'l jump after you," he Blowly replied, " but, but—" "But what, Johnnie?" " But if I were you, I'd take off my shoes firet. Just the minute they haul you out of the water every woman in this crowd will rash to see whether you wear No. 2*B or No s'r, and if you are in your stocking feet they can't get the size." The girl drew her feet under the chair, sighed once or twice, and did not regain her old enthusiasm until the boy camo along with peanuts.—" Detroit Free Press."
