came with scarcely any warning.
Mrs Maurice. Heckscher, who was to
have given a dance for Rita Heckscher,

plLLIE BUMPS is nearly four years
~ old, and of all the things Billie
breads most in this world, the greatest ,
is something called "a yellow streak"
and he'll go to any extreme to prove {
he hasn't one. The other day his {
grandpa, who is tall and powerful ]
mar, lifted Master Billy up from the
floor by his little ankles and told him
to touch the ceiling with his hands. ,
Billy looked toward the ceiling and then ,
down at the floor, it was a great ways
down and he hesitated. His uncle, I
who was present, said: "Oh, Bill,
have you got a yellow streak?" And !
before the word streak was out, Bill
had touched the ceiling. And next day 6
when he was all dressed fresh for the 7
afternoon in white blouse and little I
pants of yellow linen he came running 6
out on the porch calling "Oh, Uncle :
Dan, got on yellow suit, but I r
haven't got yellow streak, have II" /
