THF LIVE WIRE Jane was restlessly pacing the floor and Sue was calmly putting make up on when Buzz Buzz It was their ring' Sue ran to answer it Door call for Sue Wilkins and Jane Frost It s for us Jane Sue shouted getting into her wrap Then down three flights they went every step seeming a quarter of a mile but finally they got to the recep tlon room door There s stlll time to turn back was Jane s last thought but she walked determinedly in There was Dick and oh no that couldn t be It that was with him lt couldn t tance Dick introducing him and she caught the words Earnest Smith She felt her own lips mumble ln reply How do you do Mr Smith' Jane thought lf shed never fainted before she could do it now But soon they were out ln the air and she felt a little better Jane thought H may be a football hero a track man etc but he certalnlv is the homhest red headed short fat big mouthed piece of human flesh that Ive ever seen Her one consolation was maybe he can dance At last they reached the Gym Now to know the worst thought Jane Now they were 1n the dancehall dreamy muslc enveloping them Jane thinking how glad she was that she had come when Shall we dance er Miss Frost er Jane? Of course He put his arm about her and We're offl' was Janes p1t1ful thought Er Miss Frost er I may as well tell you I m not a very good dancer Hu ' thought Jane if I haven t already found that out but Oh how kind of vou Mr Smith I th nk you dance be au tl fu lly Ouch I beg your pardon er I guess I stepped on your foot Oh that was nothing sweetly someone must have pushed you But under her breath she was saying I knew it I knew it Oh Why dld I ever come? At last the time came when they were at the Dormltory and I had a perfect time er Jane er I hope we can go agam some t1me'7 What Oh yes of course Ihad Oh my feet do they ache my back how could anyone have such a rotten time? thought Jane She sat looking at her program It was good looklng but Sue burst in Have a good time Janie dear? Jane took of her slipper and didn t know whether to hit Sue or tack the program up with the rest but she ended by saying Why darling of course' and glV mg the tack a savage pounding N Lewis 38 KINDNESS PAYS KT WAS a beautiful day in June when Chris Braley was playing C in a field Just outside the llttle town of Brovs nvllle in Northern Maine He was Just trying out a new model airplane and was about to launch lt I 'F I 18 1 4' - rx - - - .- ' - 1 77 1 H Y hlu , nas ' i L' ' ' 9 75 A ' 1 ' ll if ' ' - 1 . 1 - 1 ' ' In - - '- - - 77 KI 7 yy As 1 1 1 - - ' ' -H ' H ' 77 1 l V l ' H 77 . v - ' . 1 .
