/ her what she says to selling the en-
/ porium and hunting them UP. L don't
care says she, and that was a good
deal of speech for her to make. DO
/ you leave II to me?' says /. 'Uh-huh
says she. 'We-e-e-oughp says l." and
withNthat Maizie lets out one of them
backwoods college cries that brings
| Tidson up on his toes.
Il take it," says 7, that you did"
Did II" says she. '.Insiie of three
| days I'd hustled up four different par
! ties that wanted to invest in a going
/ concern, and before the week was over
/ buncoed one of 'em out IF nine thou
| sand in cash. Most of It's in n certified
| check, sewed inside of Phemey, and
/ that's why we walked all the way up
/ here in the rain. Do you suppose You
could take me to some bank tomorrow
| where ] could leave that and get a
/ handful of green bills on account? Is
I that asking too mUch?"
Considering the way you've brushed
up my memory of Sport Dickens" says
I, ITS real modest. Couldn't you think
of somsthing else?'
.''If that had come from Mrs. Nc
Csbe,' says she, eyin' Sadie kind of
longin,' Il reckon I couij-"
why" says Sadie, Il shoul1 be de-
lighted -
You wouldn't go so far as to lead
two such freaks as us AROUND to the
stores and help us pick ol.t some New
oTk clothes, would you?" says she.
'SIy dear girl" says Sadie grabbin
both her hands. We IL dc it tor1or-
row.
"Honest?" says Maize. beamin' en-
her. -"WelT, that's what L call right
down decent. Phemey, do you hear that +?
I Oh. swallow it, Phemey, swallow it,
This is where we bloom OUT"
And say, you should have heard them
| talkin' over the kind of trousseaus that
would best help girl to forget she ever
came from Dobie.
You will need a neat cloth street
dress, for afternoons" says Sadie.
Not for me-" says Maize. ''Tbatll
| do all right for Phemey; but when ii
comes to me, I'll take something that
rustles. I've worn back number cast
| offs for twenty-five years; now I'm
ready for the other kind. I've been
travelling so far behind the procession
couldn't tell which way it was going
Now I'm going to give the drum major
a view of my back hair The sort Of
costumes I want are the kind that are
designed this afternoon for day after
tomorrow. If it's checks, III take Two
70 the piece; If it's stripes, I want to
make a circus zebra look Ike a clipped
mule. And I want change for every
day in the week"
But, my dear girl" says Sadie, can
you afford to"
You bet 1 cant" says Maize. My
share of Uncle Hens pile is forty-five
hundred dollars, and while it lasts I'm
going to have the lilies of the field
| looking like the flowers you see on attic
wall paper. ] don't care what I have
| to eat, or where 1 stay; but when it
| comes to clothes, show me the limit
But say, guess it's time we were get
/ ting back to our boarding house. Wake
up. Phemeyl"
Well, 1 pilots 'em out to Fifth-ave.,
slows 'em into motor stage, and
heads 'em down town.
"Whewl" says Sadie, when I gets
back Il suppose that is sample Of
western breeeziness."
IT'S more'n a sample" says 7. But
| I can see her finish, though. Inside Of
| three months all she'll have left 10
/ show for her wad will be trunk full
| of fancy regalia and a board bill Then
4 it will be Maize hunting job in some
| beanery."
"Oh, / shall talk her out Of that nom
| sense" saws Sadie. What she ought
| to do is to take course in stenogra-
/ ply and shSrthand.'
Yes. we laid out full program for
Maize, and had her earnin' her little
/ twenty a week, with Phemey keepin'
! house for both of 'em in nice little
