they went. AS l raised my dizzy head

leomed up against the porch light and
quietly sank into the ever popular ham,

wasn't thinking that. Somebody asked
me yesterday which would rather be
aipretty girl without brains, or brainy
girl without beauty-and l can't de-

,"Wouldn't worry about that if l were
you. Some people are never likely to
be either" he suggested meaningly.
"So!" frigidly. Then the hammock
swayed gently for another while. He
began again angrily: HAS Hal Dawson

No, sir, it was mine: and want
