the police and sift the whole affair to

Eve had the sense to maintain q
sulky silence.

tone:
:'Dick Calardin IS a fine, straight
chap-too good for you. Your latest
flair, for instance--Julian Vandaveer,
or whatever the fellow calls himself

he's much nearer to your level, Eve.

discover whether or not there would be

dear child!

This was too much to bear.

WHAT'S WHAT
BY HELEN DECIE

An Illinois correspondent asks
What's What which should say good
morning first in business office when a
young girl enters, and a woman fifteen
years older is already seated at n desk.
It would seem that because neither
coldness has arisen, so that they haso
solved their difficulty by not speaking
at all
That Is a poor solution. Ordinarily,
Il Is the older woman's privilege (not
'place') TO speak first. and tho greeting
should be acknowledged by the younger
woman But 1t Is also the custom for
each newcomer to enter with brisk
Good Morning." and because Of this
exchange of office greetings are gen
orally almost simultaneous. If the fel-
low-workers, regardless Of years or
"frst come" would strive to vie with
each other to be first to utter that CHEEKY
Good morning no uncompanionable
licences could be permitted to cloud
heir day together.
