A Collapsible Method By SADIE OLCOTT Summer is the time for outdoor sports, winter the time for indoor games. Yes, they are games—aot •ports—the best that can be doae to pas* the time when we are housed. Yet they may serve another purpose. Phillis and I were in the library. We had fixed a table for plngpoag, called by some parlor tennis. The nine is aa aspersion on the real tennis, which is one of the finest games played, mi lls was at one end of the table batting a little celluloid ball with a tiny weod en racket, I at the other doing the same "Forty lere," said Pkll on making a paint "What did you call mef I asked. "I didn't call you anything." "You said forty something. It dida't sound like Bob, but you may have la tended It for Bob." "Dear me, how you do hear things! You'd better get aa ear trumpet." the won the game, and we proceeded to the next I had gained nothing br my attempt to introduce a lore scrim mage and had given her a love gssse We hack made the same number of points and Phil cried: "Deuce!" "That's like a girl," I said. "One noment you call me love and the next deriL" "I've called you neither!" She made a point and said, "Taa tage!" "If s all advantage witli a girl," I re marked. "She cam call a fellow 'love' and not mean It, whereas If the follow does any spooning he's held to a strict accountability." "That's oaly when he's a desirable parti." She enforced the words with a ball that hit me in the face. "I have made no such pretense." Whether it was the sting of her words or of the miserable little globe, there was some asperity In my dis claimer. "Who accused you of making a pre tense?" Though I was endeavoring to turn the subject from the game to some thing very near my heart, I could not seriously accuse her. so I made no reply. "That's the end of the set." she said. "Shall we play another?" "rd much rather sit by the fire." She tossed her racket on /the table and, going to the fireplace, stood be fore it rubbing her hands as If they were cold. They were not, aa I iom learned. She knew what was oomlag, and it rattled her a bit Bather, I should say, she hoped for what was coming. I had worked up to the deda ratlon point a number of time* and stuck there. It's one thing to toll a girl you love her when she has been struck by lightning and falls into your arms in a critical condition; it is quite another to do the deed in cold blood. A.t any rate, my efforts had all been failures. "Why did you intimate," I asked, go ing to her and leaning against the man tel over the fireplace, "that I am not a desirable parti?" "I didn't." Stuck again. I looked through the window at the snow piling up in drifts. If one finds s task difficult under certain circum stances he thinks it would be easier under other circumstances. I was la s comfortable room with a cheerful opea fire before me, but I theught I eould get out what I wanted to say out la the •BOW. "Lef« go oat and snowball," I said. She looked disappointed, bat sceeded lo My request She donned s warm Jaokat; and a wovea hood, aad we sal ted forth. "You stand there," I said. "I'll stand bore. You throw the first ball at me." How I was to make a proposal while patting her I didn't know. I hoped something would turu up to help me. It did. but Philll* turned it up; I didn't Phil made a snowball and threw it at me. I dodged it. I threw one at Phfl. It wont wide of the mark. She hit me on the chin. Something—perhaps It was the sting—put an extra amount of force into my arm as I threw the noxt ball. I couldn't see that it had bit her, but ahe put her hands to her eye and sank down on the cold enow with • moan. I ran to her. "Phillis, dear! Sweetheart! Forgive me! I am a beast to have hurt you!" I pulled away her hands, and she looked at me with inexpressible sweet ness. I kissed the wounded eye. Now, that eye should have been either inflamed or cold or snow wet It was neither. A few bits of snow were on her shoulder. The snowball 1 had thrown was squashed against the fence directly behind her. "Phillis. dear, let us go back to the library." i I supported her into the house, and we stood again before the fire. "Oh. Phillis!" I exclaimed. "Suppose I had darkened that dear eye forever!" ! She shuddered. "If I had I should have devoted my life to you. Would you have let me?" "Yes, Bob." I drew the sofa before the fire, re moved her wrap, and we sat dowa to the happiest hour of my life. The deed was done.

Senatorial courtesy is a term applied to a custom which has grown up in the senate of not enforcing any rules or regulations looking to the closing of debate, the senate, as a whole, giv ing to each senator practically the right to discuss any question before the senate as long as he wants to. The term has, however, been extended not only to the courtesy of debate, but to denote the general tendency in the senate, irrespective of political differ ences, for the senators to be very kind ly disposed to pet measures and proj ects of their fellows. By reason of senatorial courtesy there is no closure in debates. An lmpos»ible Undertaking. "I hear that you have been laid up with nervous prostration. What's the cause —overwork or worry?" "Both.
