BLONDE BEAUTY
 HAD ED GOING
Blue Eyes and Golden Curls of Fair Visitor B0wled
 Over Purchasing Agent

When she walked into his office yester- day morning. escorted by a policeman, Ed Mckinley, city purchasing agent. was. to say the least, surprised, but two big. starry blue eyes were turned on him, to be followed by dimples and the dawn of a smile, Ed, despite his dignity, was inn mediately bowled over.
 Calmly the young lady seated herself on his desk, swung her heels and waited to be made much of. Then she picked up Eds hat and put it on, fragrant flirta- ticus invitation.
 Then for the first time the blonde visitor became aware of the presence or Miss ment. Seeing a perfect brunette foil Tor her own blond loveliness. the young lady f1iokered a summer Tightening flash Of appreciation; but immediately thereafter subdued the dimples, looked clear through Miss Brown and started to flrt outrag- eously with the man who spends the eity's s money, sizing him up by intuition. ap- parently.
 Poor Ed. with no daughters of his own, ne was utterly at loss. lie offered to buy candy, instead of sending out and getting it. He hurriedly turned over the leaves of his ledgers, vainly searching for a point of conversational interest.
 Finally Ed took the plunge. Putting his arms around the young lady. he lifted her up and kissed her on the back of the neck, where little coiling curls nestled, and the fair visitor gurgled with appre- rciation.
 All this time the blonde beauty had not said a word. She had shown some dis may at first when the big policemen left, and there was, an awesome droop to the corners of her mouth as the clue boat disappeared, but she at least pretended interest in her surroundings.
 Finally there appeared in the doorway several persons who had come to escort the young lady home. It was learned that she was the daughter of MT. and Mrs w R. SeYier of the Ridgley apart ments, and her name was Miss Ray Sevier.
 In the downtown crowds yesterday she had become separated from her friends, and so was taken to the city hall. Next summer she will be years old.
