with a call at a business college as a
finish for the day, as we'd planned,
When 1 gets home that night I finds
Sadie all tagged out and drinkin' bro
mo seltzer for a headache.
What's wrong?" says I.
Nothing" says Sadiee; "only I've
been having the time OF my life"
Buying taiiOr-msde uniforms for the
Misses Blickens?" says I.
"Taiior-made nothing" says Sadie
1t was no use. Shorty, I had to give
in. Msizie wanted the other things so
badly. And then Euphemis. declared sns
must have the same kind. So spent
the whole day fitting them out"
Got EN- something sudden ard
noisy, eh?" says l.
! Just wait until you see them" says
Sadie.
But what's the idea?" says 7. How
long do they think they can keep up
that pace? And when they've blown
themselves short Of breath, what
them"
Heaven knows says Sadie. But
Maize has plans Of her own. When I
mentioned the business college, she Just
laughed, and said if she couldn't do
something better than pound tvpe+
writer. she'd go back to Dobie."
"Huhih says ]. Sentiments like that
has got lots Of folks into trouble"
And yet says Sadie, ''Maizie-= a
nice girl, in her way. Wen see how
she comes out"
We did. too. II was couple OF
weeks before we heard a word from
either Of EN-, and then the other DAY
Sadie gets a call over the phone from a
perfect stranger. She says she's q
Mrs. Herman Zorn OF West End-ave..
and that she's givin' a little roof gar
den theatre party that evenin'. in honor
Of Miss Maizie Dickens an old friend
of hers that she used to know when she
lived in ST. Paul and spent her sum-
mers near DObie. Also she understood
We were friends Of Miss Dickens. too.
and she'd be pleased to have Us join.

it looks like Maize had been able To
butt in. Do We go, Sadie?"
Il said we'd be charmed" saws she.

look"
I didn't admit 1t. but 1 was some Gu
rious that way myself; so about eight

but the only thing worth lookin at
was Maize May.
And say, / thought I could make a.
guess as TO somewhere near how she
would frame up. The picture I had in
I tiAAAAu was 4 SoIN OF cross between n
Grand-st. Rebecca and an Eighth-ave.
Lizzie Maud-you know. one Of the
near style girls, that's got on all the
novelties from ten bargain counters
But, gee, The view I gets has me
gaspin. Maize want near: she was
two jumps ahead And it want any

that year from now. And that hat
1t want a dream; it was a forecast.
I'VE saw it unpacked from the Paris
case" whispered Sadie.
All know about it is that it was
the widest, featheriest lid / ever saw
In captivity, and it's balanced on more
hair puffs than you could put in a
barrel But what added the swell ar

thought I'd seen high ones, but this
tWelve-tnch picket fence around Mai
zie's neck was the 1oftiest choker I ever
saw any one survive. To watch her
wear it gave you the same sensations
as betn' q witness at a hanging. How
she could do it and keep on breathin', I
couldn't make out; but il don't seem
to, interfere with her talldn'.
Sittin' close up beside her, and listen
in with both ears stretched and his
mouth open. was a blonde, young gent
with bristly Bat Nelson pompadour,
He's rugged out in a silk-faced Tuxedo,
a smoke cOlored open face vest, and he
has a big yellow orchid in his button
hole. By the way he's gain at Mai
Zie, you could tell he approved Of her
from the ground up. She don't hesitate
any on droppin' him, though, when We
arrives

pick him up?"
"Oh, Oscar?" says she. why. he

And say, he was trained, all right. He

for us to make an inspection. Il told
him 1 wouldn't say positive until I had
shown him to you, Mrs. McCabe. He's
a little under height, and 1 don't ike
the way his hair grows; but his habits
are good, and his allowance is thirty
thousand a year. How about him? Will
he do?"
''Why-why-" says sadie. and it's
one Of the few times 1 ever saw her
ratified.
Just flash that ring again, Oscar"
says Maizie.
"O-o-obl" says Sadie. when Oscar
has pulled out the white satin box and
snapped back the cover. What a
beauty, Yes. Maize. 7 should say that
