play in the street cutters that are mis-
chievously mean and brutal On Central

house, a group of beautifully dressed
children were playing pretty four
teen-year-o girl passed, her long hair
floating over her shoulders She was
neatly CARRIED but the apparel of the rich
children made her look shabby, and she
was weighted down with big package.
Suddenly boy darted away from the
group and gave violent tug to her
hair. which pulled her head backward at
a most painful angle. She did not glance
around, but walked quietly on. An indig-
nant woman raced after her and said:
Child. why didn't you give tht young
brute a good slap"
A pair of lovely blue eyes were turned
on the speaker and quivering lips steadied
sufficiently to enable her to say with
quaint dignity, I'd like to, but 1t would be
lowering myself to his level"
And as she went on the laughter of the
boy and his companions followed her.
