A handsome woman with a blue
beaver hat, a vivid drugstore com
plexion, French heels, rafting skirts.
real furs from the Arctic circle, and
the naughty gait that marks the caste
| of We're De We're, swept down the
street past the Parochial school while
a dozen small girls and boys stopped
| their play to look and then look
again. In a moment of indiscretion
one of the youngsters called out, II
love my felt, but o you blue beaver"
while the less venturesome in the
crowd stood by and giggled. Instant
lily our heroine forgot her dignity
and gave chase, making a petticoat-
hampered dive for the young rascal
that had offered the insult. Panic
seized the children, and they all ran
for shelter, and seeing the lady pass
on they supposed that the storm was
| over. But there was a traitor in camp
whose desire to keep out of trouble
prompted her to disclose the names
of the offenders, so that the sister in
charge knew just where to place the
blame when an indignant voice from
underneath the blue beaver called her
on the telephone, demanding that ev-
eryone of that group of children be
sent to her house on Topeka avenue
to apologize. The request was COM
piled with. and dozen little people,
with CONSERVATION written on their
faces soberly made the pilgrimage in
quest of pardon. One little girl. after
the ordeal was over, was heard to
say: shes a swell locker in her Sun
day buds, but she's a fright in those
everyday rags"
