learned last night. The fact Is. how

Gets q Hand Gossip.
The confession must be made here
tha, this account Of what happened in
the GOODMAN bakery when the girls
made their first appearance in boomers
is based largely on second hand gossip.
A report of the way the girls came into
the bakery. OF the manner in which they
changed from street clothes to their tight
little white little boomers and Of the
good results OF wearing such free lance
clo,hes-,hese details might be related
here Il. first hand had the reporter been
assigned to Cioodman's In time TO see the
girls At work.
But the reporter didn't get there last
evening until all the girls had gone
home. II wasn't his fault the blame
rests upon the boss. who should have
sen; him earlier.

where the Boss Fell Down.
All this time. remember. the girls up
In Goodman's bakery were wandering
around in their white little tight little
bloomerS. At the boss's very elbow sat
q reporter who not only Is capable but
alert and above all else willing. II
the boss Ia taken more interest In his
art he then and there would ave AS
signed tho waiting reporter to Good
mans bakery. thus permitting the re-
porter to see the girls at first hand. In
stead. the boss went out to luncheon and
never got back until dusk. And when he
finally sent the reporter up to Good
rans-and all the time. in fact since
the late forenoon. he knew tho Goodman
girls we're wearing tight boomers
dusk was gathering and the girls had
changed back to skirts and had gone TO
their homes.

All afternoon the reporter had sat
around praying for something to do.
But. no-the boss must delay the as
signment until dusk. when all the Good
nan girls had ono home.
