PAINT PARTIES

Paint furnished the motif for a
new form of entertainment recently
originated in the Y. w. c. A. circles
The coloring matter used was not
the neutrality-suspicious. variety
that the original Americans decorate
themselves with for their war dances,
nor yet the kind that comes In small
boxes at the corner drug store. 1t
was the honest-to-goodness, turpen-
t~ine-scented kind that the painter
in overalls uses when he paints the
floor at home.
The paint party was first tried out
by the girls IA a county Y. W. Q. A.
That 1t was a real Gee was testi-
hed to not only by the guests but
also by the appearance Of the floors.
Furthermote. all those who are vers-
ed in the art of painting say that the
job was well done.
Invitations were issued to this
novel entertainment. bidding the
guests. Bring an old tin can to hold
paint, your own paint brush and
wear old clothes"
This was answered by q
number of girls who appeared in
their oldest, instead Of their newest
dresses, and proceeded to give the
faded floors OF the z. w. c. A a
fresh coat OF paint.

The Streets of Life

first reaction to her freedom. But
Geraldine was too selfish to see
Anne's point Of view, she could see
only her own.
Geraldine rose drawing her silk
en- draperies around her. Her eyes
we're cold and her voice was quite
hard as she said, evenly,
Then you have decided not to
come back?"
Please" Anne begun, but Geral-
dine silenced her with a little i'm
perative wave OF her hand. "Of
course. / a look at it in just one
light" she said frfeidly. You don't
want to come back. Perhaps you
have other plans more satisfactory
for yourself" and she swept the
ugly room with a scornful little
smile of utter distaste. well. I'm
glad ! know just how you feel,
Anne, / think it's best to know the
truth" and with a laugh that some-
how did not ring true. Geraldine
was gone.
Anne stood for a minute as
though she were chained to the spot
and could not move She heard
Pierre start the engine and she
wanted to rush out and scream to
Geraldine not to leave like that, but
she did nothing of the kind. She
just stood still and waited, hoping
that at the last moment Geraldine
would change her mind. Then,
with a swish, the big car started off
and Geraldine was gone.
Anne's first impulse was to burst
into a frenzy of grief, to sob her
heart out, to run upstairs and stife
her screams with the bedclothes.
She was like q wild thing, element
al, primitive as she stood there, and
then suddenly civilization and self
control came back to her with the
sudden ringing of the door bell. The
reaction left Anne weak but sane,
and she waited a minute for her
emotions TO subside before she went
to the door. II often happens that
the simplest things come at crucial
moments when something is need
ed to keep us from going quite mad,
and the complete normality of the
incident, the habit of going on with
the thing in hand even in the midst
OF great grief, is like a narcotic.
1t was In this way that Anne an
swered the door bell. A strange girl
stood on the porch. a girl who look
ed, vaguely familiar. She had been
pretty once, but now b was too
looking. Her clothes hung on her
as though she took no interest in
anything she wore, and her smile
was pathetic.
You don't remember me. I
guess" she said in a thin little
voice.
Anne shook her head. Wont
you come in?"
The girl followed her inside and
they stood a moment in the hall. II
won't keep you a minute" she burst
out. before Anne could lead the way
into the front room. But I have
to tell you. something
you ought to know. I'm Lucy

Two VISITORS

Anne Carter had begun life on
the straight path that children gem
orally follow, but very quickly the
path began to twist and turn into
a tortuous street. First, Anne's
mother committed suicide, and then
her father made life miserable by
depriving her of everything she
wanted. Fate always turks around
the corner on any street of life, and
Fate sent Geraldine Carpenter to
be Anne's friend just when the girl
needed a friend most. Through
Geraldine. Anne met Dane Gray,
and uncertain as to whether he
cared for her or not, Anne gave
him her whole heart. Then came
the time when Anne was forced to
defy her father, and for the first
time in her life she found herself
from his control. But she
found also that she could not go
back and be the same Anne, that a
strange. new independence had
come to her and that she wanted to
find the right street OF life alone
and unaided.
