who would not rather go hundry than
stint herself on the time it takes to
choose a new hat?
Diana Blake had bolted sundae and
a glass Of water in six minutes and
hied herself to the cloak department.

the plate-glass mirrors. On the way
she ran into Persis Pell. You got your
new coat YETI" she inquired.
I'm not going to have one" replied
Persis, quietly.
"Oh" said Diana Her blue eyes
old blue coat, raw at the edges and
absurdly out Of style. Persis flushed
sensitively.
II know + need a new coat, but l
can't afford it," she murmured.
We'll. I'm going to have one said
Diana, and passed on. The tdea.' she
thought. That girl gets just the same
like perfect dowdy. I'd be ashamed
She went on to the cloakroom. There
was a f1utter of trying on among the
salesgirls. Diana's chum. Bernice Mar

coat with a fur collar.

even If 1t does take every cent I can
rake and scrape," Bernice said. 'Ill
never be young and pretty but once.
Oh. Diana, shall We ask Persis Pell to
