VERNONIA EAGLE. VERNONIA. OREGON Hooked Fish Fish do not seem to suffer much when they are hooked. About the jaw there are few nerves which could cause the sensation of pain. Some trout have been known to be hooked two or three times in the same day, the fisherman using the same type of bait. Fish, no doubt, have a sensation of discomfort, but not as great as that of the higher animals. In gen­ eral, a fish must feel some pain on some parts of the body, but has few nerves around the mouth, where it is apt to be hooked.

He doesn’t get far with any of us girls.” Kitty Draper’s twenty • year old hostess, Dorothy Blaine, looked with an expression of mild com­ passion on her guest as they sat in the living room of the Blaine summer home after the Sunday aft­ ernoon tea party when Dorothy had introduced her guest to the young men and girls with whom she "played round” during the summer. Kitty was twenty—she ought to be a better judge. Now. of all the men she had met the one she men­ tioned specially was Dick Goodwin. Just another proof of Kitty’s de­ ficiency. Kitty was a dear and rath­ er pretty, but still really a little dumb. Kitty tried to defend herself. "I didn't say I was prazy about Dick Goodwin. You asked me which one of the men I liked most, and I just said that I had had a very interest­ ing conversation with him. We got to talking about hobbies and he mentioned the fact that he was in­ terested in geology. So he talked about geology—” “Dick would talk about geology. Meets a pretty girl for the first time—a girl who is willing to talk with him—and he talks about geol­ ogy. That’s really precious. Didn't I say he was a nut?” "But why shouldn’t a man talk about geology—if he’s interested in it?” "Doesn't have to talk about any­ thing, silly—that way. I mean, at a tea party like this a man’s just expected to sort of kid and — oh, you know—banter—light talk.” Meantime Dick had been driven home in one of his own cars with the Hurley girls, Rodney Steele, Ben and Margery Kelly and Stella Bates. Wedged in the back seat between Margery and Stella he was listening in some surprise to com­ ments about Kitty. "Oh she’s pretty enough,” bab­ bled Margery, "and I hear she has quite a bit of money in her own name, and she can dance well and all that. I see what Dorothy means, though—she is dumb.” "Whal do you mean, dumb?” asked Dick in surprise. “Just dumb. You know what I mean.” Margery said. At first Dick's interest in the dumbness of Kitty was quite self­ ish. Here was a girl that had struck him as entirely charming. She had money, which wasn’t anything to him because Dick happened to have By LOUISE WILLIAMS ¡Filet Crochet Set for the 'Forgotten' Chair (£) IcClure Newspaper Syndicate. WNU 8ervice. enough of that commodity himself. Still it would have weight, he knew, with Ben and Rodney and their confreres. He had noticeu that the men did not hover around her as they did some of the other girls and now they explained that this was because of some characteristic which in their lingo was indicated by “dumbness.” The next week was crowded with beach suppers, hatles,, breathless motor drives along the curving shore road—sunny hours of swim­ ming and tennis and later hours of dancing and card playing. Besides for Kitty and Dick there was a geological survey up the side of a hill five miles inland, arranged for six o’clock one morning so that it might not conflict with the program arranged by Dorothy for Kitty’s en­ tertainment. To ask a girl to go pebble hunt­ ing at six o’clock in the morning was further proof that Dick was a nut—and of course any girl who would consider such an invitation in the light of anything but a joke was hopelessly dumb. Still in one way both Dick and Kitty were pop­ ular. It was Dick who always found it convenient to “change a bill” when the crowd had stopped at a roadside inn for refreshments. His two new cars were always ready for anyone who wanted to drive. Two weeks later, after Kitty had gone home and Dick and Rodney and most of the other men had gone back to the city after their sum­ mer holidays, Ben and Margery Kelly, lingering on the beach with Dorothy, discussed Kitty. “I know Kitty wouldn’t mind my telling you of her engagement," said Margery. “I suppose everyone guessed it anyway. Kitty’s imma­ ture and rather dumb, hut she's a nice girl—" “Maybe she’s not so dumb after all,” suggested Ben. "She did quick work with Dick all right. And Dick’s a decent fellow and he's got a lot of money even if he is a nut—” "I don’t know whether Dick is such a nut anyway,” observed Katherine, "die was chosen out of two or three hundred applicants as head of some geological survey from college. You said yourself he was the one fellow in the crowd who was likely to make his name in the world.” “Well, of course, there's that,” said Ben indolently, but ho was thinking neither of Kitty nor Dick —rather wondering to himself whether in all the world there was a more deliciously fashioned pair of lips than those of Dorothy Blaine.
