KITTY HEARD ALL ABOUT
WHAF FL ORENCE HAD DONE
But She Wasnt CiUer Chance to Tell Thing about WI,
She Had Done Since They Had Been in School Together

TT HAD been four years since they
i had been in school together, and they
had seen each other only a few times
since. SO, OF course. the meeting was
most enthusiastic on both sides. There
was the usual duet of questions and
answers which was really just a tumble
of words without any sense to Il. Finally
they settled down to sane conversa-
tion. ~
They discovered that Kitty. the au-
burn haired one, was a private secre
tary for a very successful business
man, and that Florence, the one with
dark hair and gray eyes. had gone on
with her athletics; studied physical cul :
ture and was now teaching ut Y. w.
y. a. Kitty, who had worked up to
her present position from a rather un :
important start IN the Game Office, was
keenly interested in her work, and al :
ways glad to talkabout It,
Yes: she said. ''I love It. It's no
interesting, and meet so many interest

private lessons most Of the afternoon
and then in the evening I have to be

good for me. Why, I'm twice as well as

of admiration for Florence's. s. fine con

Now you listen to me, I'm going to
tell you something about yourself:
Outside Of your mother and possibly
sisters, you have never known well one
good woman-if you have you have
ignored the message her presence would
have inscribed upon your memory. p
You have spent very little time trying
to find out what makes you so happily
different from a progressive rsce--if you
have so sought, you need your wits
sharpened.
