minute walked up" said the girl III
negligee, according to the San Fran
cisco Examiner.
"You lazy thing said the girl in
street clothes. AT the other end of the
wire. Il tried to call you up half an
hour ago. but | couldn't get any
answer"
Il was dreadfully sleepy with an
audible yawn. I'VE were up till day
light"
I'm all upset about our thing to-
night" went on the girl in street
clothes. "Maisie's mother won't let her
20, so that gives us a man too many
Wont let her go!' with symptoms
of waking up. How perfectly funny!
Why not?"
"Oh. she's got some crazy idea about
It's not being a respectable place
The theater or the cafe?"
Both, | imagine"
How absurd" said the girl in negli'
gee. why. everybody goes now You
see half the people you know"
"Of course, and you don't need to
have anything to do with the Others
answered the girl in street clothes. Il
think it's rather fun to 20 among real
Bohemians once in awhile. You get
so narrow. always moving in one little
set"
Yes, II really is broadening said
the other, seriously; then both laughed
a little at some ~afterthought. But
imagine your mother not letting YOU
co. she added. why. | simply say
I'm going and that's all there is about
it,"
AS long as we have a chaperon and
don't forget the ~latchkey that's all my
mother cares" said the girl who had
been dressed some time.
"Maisie wants to get her parents in
training if she is going to have any
fun said the girl who was just up. Il
wouldn't stand being treated like a
child. anyway"
I'VE are old enough to Judge for our
selves said the veteran of 81. Now
and then mother says. I'd rather you
wouldn't ana if it is something | don't
care anything about | often don't"
"Oh, OF course. if it isn't any fun
said the sage in the bath-wrapper.
And sometimes when | want to get out
of things ! say that mother isn't will
ing. 1t sounds well and people are too
polite 10 say: Bother your mother!'
BY the way, YOU don't suppose Maisie
Is trying that. do YOU"
'Oh. dear no, She Is simply wild
about it,. She almost w"pt when she
told me. You know she was going to
have VIII. and he'll be so disgustcd.
I'm afraid he will back out Of going"
Il suppose we can ask somebody
else" the girl in negliEer said. discon-
solatcly, but it won't be the same. |
don't know what Ia do il ! had a
mother like that"
Il wouldn't have said the other de-
cldedly. I'd begin with her young. |
suppose the little simplctou said: May
! Po?'"
That's fatal" said the girl In ncgli-
gee. You'd never 20 anywhere in this
world if you tried 20 get permission
first. say, I'm freezing. | must 80
ana dress"
"Wait-TOm wants 10 speak to you a
minute said the girl who was dressed
To 20 out.
Tell him he can't" said the girl who
most decidedly wasn't. I'm not rerciv-
ing this morning"
HE says he will shut his eyes"
Don't YOU dare let him. crouching
away from the telephone. DO what
you Fan about tonight. Wen go. any
way"
Indeed We will. Let's start n So
cicty for the suppression of unruly
mothers"
And fathers. too" said the girl in
neEligee. Dots father gives her an
allowance and expects her to pay her
own bills with it. She is SO in debt that
she doesn't dare go down-town-she
makes me do all her errands for her
and her father won't help her out"
BEAST said the girl in street
ways thinks things will be a lesson TO
You. Still, parents here are pretty
good on the whole. They don't need
much suppression"
That's So admitted the girl in
negliece. THANK heaven, | was born
in America"
