A TRAGEDY A long concealed belief that blend hair and fair skin would make me more alluring 'chan icf, ....r only X could wear a, gown of the proper degree of smartness:., prompted my posing before Mother's full-length mirror, in the smart black satin evening gown, a birthday present from Aunt Mae. I fluffed up my curls and tried in; smile a Janet G ynor smle, a dimple in my cheek. Then I straightened my face and tried a Constance Benett pose. When that became tiresome, I thrust ray .hair behind} my ears and practiced a half-sad, mysterious lock, a la Garbo. I felt sure that the Garbo pose qould knock the boys at the Prom cold- But, aloe.' that was a long way off-three weeks-and the one and only formal dance ever held in Hicksviile High School. However., when Saturday arrives I become a scrub-woman in the home of my worthy parents On Sunday the eldest brother comes home from college to visit the fond family who do their best to make their humble residence seem, at least as aightly as the homes of his college pals, if not as elegant. Behold me.' then, one bright Saturday at 4 P.M. , clad in a daded blue dress, an old dust xap of an extinct grand-parent completely eclipsing my crowning glory; traces of pastry flour on my chin; specks cf dough on my apron; splashes of mop water on my shoes.' Place me m the position in which Dumas loves to place his good and virtuous maidens, to wit, upon the knees Bub pray, do not assume that I bear upon my countance that wrapt and saintly expression associated with such an attitude- No, indeed.' A venomous scowl wrinkling the maiden's farr brow, and with both hands sne wields a formidable brush as she car?:ies on the never ending warfare with a common enemy, the fingerprint. Behold me thus, a.s rr.y brother beheld me when he arrived three hours before the usual time with-oh thrills and horrors .'—a good-booking young man in tow. I ask you, what would you do if you had oeen dreaming for two whole years of a chance to captivate one of your brother's college chums and then-when he poos up with a per-fectly gorgeous looking one, to be found in such a fix? There is a little couplet of Aesop's Fables, I believe which says: Little dobs of powder, little gobs of paint, V.ill make a little girlie what she ain't. It is quite i::ue i.n my case. Hence-my ohagrin-at being thus interrupted in the m.dst cf n devotions. novrever , I did m best In response to the eldest' s. nonchalant, My sis , er-J.-tok,'' I got off my most musical, How do-you-do.
