for the red headed leader Of the Killers the
Bend was In the throes OF the biggest scandal
the younger set ever knew.
There was no denying that Giuseppina
was clean rome or Barney, and when IL
finally became a matter OF public property
the Bend fairly gasped. Everybody thought
that Tony. whose father 10 q rich banker

with the belle OF the Bend. and he did until

anything but an enviable reputation, came
into the llmelight. However high Tony
wa regarded In Giuseppina's esteem he
was soon told to go on his way when Barney
laid siege for the bellies heart.
Many suitors had Giuseppina, and rightly
30. too. for vas she not the prettiest girl
in the Bend. crowned queen OF the May

dress ever seen in Mulberry street? And
Just because Margaretta Bonadella gabbed

Fogarty's girl the Bend and the Hill had TO
make q fuss about 1t. Neither the belle
nor Barney could understand why an affair
which concerned only themselves should
cause such a lot OF talk, and, what was more,
they didn't care a snap for ell that was
said.
The deniSens of the Bend thought them
selves perfectly justified in severely con-
demning Giuseppina de Angelina for the
step she took. for who OF them could ever
forget the notorious Barney Fogarty n
his invasions Of the Bendf More times
than they have fingers and toes could they
remember the attacks led on the boys OF
the Bend by this selfsame Fogarty.
Many q time had he marched at the head
Of his gang from Cherry Hin to Mulberry
Bend Park and without the slightest provo
cation attacked the boys whose only offence
against Mr.. Fogarty was that they were
Dagoes. And who ives always in the lead.

Bend. 1t was too much, indeed, but what
could be done about II?
Giuseppina was following the dictates
Of her own heart, and if the Bend didn't
like it It could lump 1t. She admitted that
she was all broke up over Barney, and thai

Such a sensational thing as Mr..
Fogarty's going dippy owe a Dago girl
