aeh as l realized that in one day in
Los Angeles 1 had spent more than
half of my money.
No wonder Theodore Stratton had
told me that he felt sorry for me. No
sane girl would have bought clothes
as l had that afternoon.
However, l would not allow myself
to be cast down. Tomorrow l would
go out and ask for job. Again that
little sinking in the pit of my stom-
ach, l was finding the road to my
goal difficult.
Then L realized that If I stayed in
my room another minute / would be
overcome with anxiety and loneli-
ness. 1 hastily washed my bands and
face and dabbed my face with some
of the powder that l had purchased
in Chicago. This brought retro
spective smile to my lips as thought
how grandfather would thunder If he
knew. Undeeidedly l picked up the
rouge that the young woman at the
toilet counter had persuaded me to
buy and then | laid it aside because
knew that i should feel too self
conscious if l should use it. So, con-
tenting myself with biting my lips
and pinching my cheeks a little, l
fastened downstairs.
The orchestra was playing and
looking at the grandfather clock
against the side wal of the lobby l
saw 1t was o'clock.

watch the stream of young men and
women who were pouring through
the corridor L wondered what they
had been doing until 1 heard one girl
say to her escort;
Il think that new toddle is the best
step we have had yet"
This would still have been Greek

watched the procession with renewed
interest.
1t is a strange thing, but nearly al
young women in Los Angeles have a
certain resemblance to each other.
Wide open eyes, very narrow eye
brows, exaggerated hairdresses, ex-
IRENE skirts, shoes and stockings and
slinky walk.
1t is the movie type!
Afterwards / found it behind the
counters OF the department stores, in
the manicure and hardressing par
lors, in the street cars, in the parks,
and in the cheaper dining places.
l was so curious about these young
girls. 1 wondered whether they were
from the studios or were they, per
chance. society girls? Was it the
smart thing to go to the "Alex" for
tea and dance? l decided to learn
to dance Immediately.
So engrossed was / in watching
these animated girls and young men
that did not notice that one of their
number had pumped herself down
beside me.
Say, did you ever see such 'cootie
cages as that girl is wearing ?' she
asked me casually.
l turned blank face toward her
and she said, 'Oh, of course. you don't
like them with your hair braided so
demurely'

Secretary of agriculture has author

horses, and $4,000 sheep and goats on
the Medicine Bow national forest for
the season of 1921, which are the same
numbers as those authorized for 1920.
The grazing periods and fees will be
h same as those of 1920.
Application blanks are being mailed
out to all those who held annual per-
mits in 1920. Those who have five
year permits do not nave to make appli-
cation. The forest supervisor at Lara
mic, will act upon the new applications
on March 1. and applications which do
not reach the office by that date, will
not be considered.
For the past few years, the numbers
of stock applied for have been greatly
in excess of the numbers authorized.
and from present indications it appears
this condition will be the case
again this Season.
