We only have one thing to fear—that she might rush off to Hollywood to make her fortune with those fascinating eyes. But 1 guess not. Next year we shall find her in La Salle Seminary with the rest of the “debbies.” Teddy is the one proof that gentlemen don’t always prefer blondes. And if you don’t believe ,this, just ask a cer- tain young “golf champ” from Hempstead.

ROSALIE, THE CONQUEROR Rosalie Clynton was sprawled up- on the bed, reading a magazine. It was a beautiful summer’s day, and the big apple tree by her bedroom window made the room so cool and delightful that Rosalie decided it was great to be alive. What young person could help being in love with life on such a beautiful day? Especially Rosalie, for she had no cares to bother her little head. Mrs. Clynton had hired a colored woman to help with the housework, and Rosalie had nothing to do hut take it easy. She had come up to her room to rest. She must look her best at the party that night. But it was hard to lie down without anything to think of, so she had brought a magazine upstairs to read. For a while she read on, turning the pages careless- ly, so that anyone could see she wasn’t interested in the story. Every time she turned a page she looked out through the window, and each time it took her longer to return to her story. “Oh. I can’t read on such a day!” she said at last, and flung aside the magazine. “The day is too lovely to spend reading an old magazine. I wish I had something else to do.” She got up from the bed, walked over to the window, and sat down on the window-sill. “My, but it's dead in the street!” she mused. “Hardly» a person out walking. But is it a hot day. You can’t blame people for not wanting to go out.” There goes John Wilke’s sister, Harriet. She must be going over to Ethel’s house. I wonder whether I was right in giving John permission to take me to Sue’s party. I’m sure if Dorothy hadn’t gone away, he would have asked her instead of me. But then,—maybe he wouldn’t have. Ethel told me that she thinks John likes me. Maybe he does, but he surely shows Hot more attention than he does me. I don’t know whether to think Ethel is right or not. She ought to know, because she’s a friend of John’s sister. But whether John likes me or not makes no difference, because I don’t care much for him. He’s too changeable. . . . First he goes with one girl, and then with another. . . . But he al- ways goes back to Dot after each one. I guess he likes her best. . . . “1 wouldn’t have decided to go to the party with him, only I was think- ing of what Ethel said, and 1 thought I’d give him a chance. . . . He seemed glad, too. ... I suppose.—” A sharp ring of the telephone in- terrupted her thoughts. “That must be for me,” she thought. “1 hate to leave this cool spot. The apple tree gives such de- lightful shade. The call can’t be im- portant, but 1 suppose I’ll ba e to answer it.” “Rosalie! Will you please answer the phone?” Mrs. Clynton called. “I’m busy, and I know it's for you anyway.”
