she did at first.
So one night when she was very
late the aunt scoIded her. And the
girl, who had just been glorified by
the man she liked, couldn't stand the
unromantic caIldown from her aunt.
She packed up and left.
Some one told where she could
get a nice room to herself over at
1909 W. Madison st. It was there she
went in her girlish huff. That was
downward step No. 2.
With the restraining influence of
her aunt cast off, the rest of the
story becomes much like all of the

She forgot that she had left Ridott
''to make something of herself and
bring happiness to her mother.
She tripped from one cafe to an
other. She became surrounded with
a score of admirers. Because there is
a type of mankind that considers a
pretty girl of sixteen just wonderful

There were many wine dinners in
the downtown cafes. Then a whirl-
ing taxi ride to some outlying place
where the music was wilder and the
wine seemed more celebrating. And
then-the hotel.
According to the information OBJ
tanned by Detective Sergeant George
Mccormick, the girl was always a
member of gay parties that beat

study stenography.
The Boyers finally consented. The
girl got all her store clothes and left

She started studying at Revilo's,
which is on Wabash aV. And after
awhile she met a different class of

These girls dressed like the figures

somewhat the girls in the musical
