HER DESPERATE
PLUNGE

Come" said the girl with the red
pompadour and the straight front
figure as she led her caller into the
back room at her new boarding house,
let me show you all my Christmas
things. See this green petticoat with
the lace ruf1e? Isn't it a beauty? I
have been just dying for one for a
year, and now I've got it at last!" and
she hugged the rustling ruffles with
an ecstatic sigh. And just look at
these long white suede gloves. They
reach way above the elbow, dear, and
they cost four dollars. And take a
glance at this box of silk stockings
all silk, my dear, every thread, and
warranted to wear forever. Now just
smell this extract. It's a three-ounce
bottle, the very newest triumph of
the perfumers art. And here is a
duchesse lace handkerchief and a gold
bangle and an all-silk umbrella with a
sterling handle and a set of honest
true sure-enough mink and"

it, and"
Smith & Smith sent some of
them,' interrupted the red-headed
girl, happily, "and Jones company

others-and l paid for them all my
self. You see, it was this way, have
