RUMORS AND SMILES
They Don't Go Together Well

tured to sly a shot OF two at the trips
to New York-she had had her fun,
could any one suppose that just be-
cause she was married she was going
TO settle down to being a dull little
thing?
Not Peggy!
And 50 she started west, with her
smile, her saucy rose-trimmed hat
and her thousand dollars, but -
alone. There wasn't even CIR
friends there waving goodby as the
train started out into the darkness
That didn't matter, Peggy hadn't
wanted them anyhow. She knew that
at the end of her journey there would
be the old friends and the peach
of a man.
But when Peggy's train pulled into
the western station there wasn't any
one there whom she knew. The old
friends whom she met up town
yes they remembered Peggy, but
there was something wrong. They
weren't even curious.
And the peach of a mamie never
seemed to be more than vaguely
aware that Peggy was about.
So Peggy was alone. She found
that even men do not select the girls
they want as friends from among
those who smile at uncomplimentary
rumors about themselves.
