JOAN BECOMES a LEADER AT
SCHOOL.
CHAPTER Z.

CHAPTER 7.
AS Margaret widened her circle
Of acquaintance for Joan's sake,
she discovered with pleasurable
surprise that she enjoyed their So
ciety. They were more reasonable,
far. than her parents had been, al
though not as advanced as she was
In their ideas of allowing their
children absolute freedom-a de-
liberately given liberty of thought
and action.
The knowledge that other par
ents were inclined to do as she
believed right---although to a far
less extent --- intrigued Margaret,
and sometimes she discussed her
ideas with these new friends, most
OF them parents of children about
Joan's age.
Naturally they thought Marga-
ret extreme in her views, and as
naturally said so.
Il think perhaps theoretically
you are right, Mrs. Hayden" Mrs.
thompson, mother of Hortensc,
said. But you are taking terri
BILE responsibility when you put
your ideas into practice as you do.
Fortunately, Joan is sweet. mod
est girl" Margaret thought of the
smoking" episode and wondered
what Mrs. Thompson would say II
she knew of it. $50 is Hortense,
yet I would not darer risk her flu
ture happiness by giving her free
rein"
''How do you suppose she will
ever be individual?"
II cannot say that care for her
to be too individual. 1t seems to
me unladylike."
Conversations such as these
sometimes caused Margaret Hay
den to wonder if she had gone too
far in allowing Joan self-expres-
sion. Then her mouth would set
tie In a determined line, and she
would say to herself:
mo, / believe 1t is the only way.
/ am a product of the other meth
3D." Thoughts of her shut-in
childhood, her colorless girlhood,
her unsatisfactory womanhood,
confirmed her in her decision that
she had been wise in her raising
Of Joan.
At Miss Corey's school, an ultra
fashionable school for girls. Joan
soon became a. leader among her
companions. They admired her
daring, while not courageous
enough to initiate her. They list
ened to her tell of what she had
done, what she proposed to do,
with awe-especially after she ha l
once told them, in reply to what
one Of the girls had saiG that It

was not her mothers business.
This is the way 1t happened,
Gloria Freeman, a little, slim girl
with a flare of bobbed hair nearly
as golden as Joan's and framing
small face, said:
My mother won't let me have
any parties AMI have the boys in
vited. She hardly let's me speak
to them" Then, "Can you have
boys at your parties, Joan?"
"Of course I can! can do any
thing I want to-"
"Your mother let's your" amaze
ment and jealousy In the sweet
young voice. ....
"of course! It isn't any of her
business. / choose my own
friends"
"But---boys!"
Eyes, boys. Why not?"
From then on Gloria Freeman
adored Joan. The two 13-year-old
girls became inseparable.
I'm going to ask your mother
to let you go home with me to-
night" Joan said as the two girls
arms about slim waists. bobbed
heads close together, walked home
after school.
I'm afraid she won't. She says
t.,o place for school girls is at
home when school is out. She lets
me do lot of things vacations
but she is awfully strict during the
term"
IT shan't ask her then! No one
ever says mo- to me, and ]
should be nice II they did, not
even to your mother"
Flushed and tense, Joan walked
home and confided to her mother
did you ever hear of such a
thing, Mumsie? Why, Gloria is
three months older than I am and
she can't 60 anywhere or do any
thing. I should kill myself, I know
! should, If you were like that---or
run away and never come back, o.
do something awful. What horrid
mothers most girls have!"'
mo DEAR they aren't 'horrid
they Just don't think as I dc
about bringing up children. We
all have right to our beliefs, you
know. / to mine, you to yours
and other people to theirs"
"Of course, Mumsie, I never
thought Of that. I guess they aren't
as horrid as I think. They just dc
as they want to about things same
as I do"
That's It, Joan. Everyone haY
right to their opinions"
After this talk Margaret noticed
that Joan was not quite so inn
patient of others. She had been
SO certain OF her young self that
without realizing 1t, she had de-
MED others the same privilege she

Coat Dress opens With Cut ;. l..
BY IiLOISE.
The coat dress which was looked
upon with favor early in the fall Is
still shown by many of the leading
designers. There are many posi-
bilities In the coat style and they
have been worked out in interest
ing ways by clever designers. The
two main styles are the coat dress
which really acts as coat and has
an under frock of some kind, eth
er satin, crepe or self material
which may or may not be worn
without the cloth top, and the style
which resembles coat and mere
ly suggests an undertook but Is
really complete in itself without
any frock- or sham skirt or sleeves.
The latter type is pictured here.
It is made OF blue serge which
opens from neck to hem just as
any coat. Bands formed by five
rows of silk braid trim the skirt.
belt and sleeves. A gray vest and
surplice tied in the back are inter-
esting features. Note also the use
of the popular, long, wide sleeves.
Such frock fills many needs in
the winter wardrobe.

LARGE GAS WELL AT
AZTEC SPRAYING OIL:
MAY BLOW ITSELF IN

Aztec was greatly excited last eve-
ming and the whole town was down
to the gas well site watching II very
closely for signs OF oil. The report
was circulated here early in the even
ing that the gas well at Aztec had
blown itself in. But no confirmation
could be had from this end Of the
line.
The facts are that there is a seep-
age OF oil from the end OF the main
stem which caused the excitement.
This seepage may or may not mean
there will be an Oil well. AS II ia
known fact that some natural gas
carries quantities OF crude oil with
IL and is usually considered the best
sign of oil and many oil wells have
resulted from a gasser blowing itself
into a producer of oil.
But there is an interest above the
average In the actions OF the gasser
at Aztec. II the sand had been pierre
ed few feet deeper 1t is possible
that an oil we'll might have been
struck and the fact that the well Is
seeping oil now should be sufficient
incentive to go into the sand to
greater depth.-Durango Democrat,
