No Chance to Be
.Oh-Fashioned

Dear Miss Grey: In answer 10
"Twenty.Six." l would like TO say
there are lots and lots OF girls who
start out by being just old-fashioned
girls. but somehow the boys never
notice these girls, SO they naturally
take to dressing so they viii notice
them.
Not because they want to. but be-
cause they get tired Of staying at
home while the girls who wear short
skirts and French heels and dress
classy have all the fun Imagine
how felt when my boy friend asked
me why didn't wear high heels and
wear my hair fan style. etc. etc,
OF course you will say to forget that
kind OF fellow. Yes. but they're
all the same. Believe me. every red
bloodcd girl likes TO have a good
time. And rather than be out OF II
altogether she will dress and act like
the girls all the boys seem to fall for

head and see him. He braced him

But she never glanced his way.
When she had finished the few
scrawled lines, she stopped. picked
up the envelope. and put the letter

Ferrier could not see her face, but

After that Terrier felt better. He
calculated that with any luck he
ought to hear from Micky in is days
Finally he unstuck the envelope and
added a postscript
Gable an answer. and IN pay.
Did you ever know a girl named
Joan, and II so, who Is she7"
He reseaied the letter, put II IN
his pocket and went downstairs.
The party had supper In a room

with a song on the rack, in a cor.
ner Of the room. Hastings said that
Joan would sing to them later.
Joan had changed her travelling
frock for 9 white dress. She looked
very young and fair in the room
where the shadows were gathering
and the long rays OF golden sunset
crept thru the windows like pointing
fingers. Ferrier could not bear to
look at her.
When supper was finished he
asked for the nearest postoffice,
Hastings answered quickly
There's a pillar.box In the wan AZ
the corner which Is cleared every
evening at .. Joan will take your
letters while we have a smoke--eh.
Joan?" ?
Yes, Of course"
Ferrier took the letter addressed
to Micky from his pocket, and hand.
ed It to her. Then he offered his
cigar case TO her brother.
From where he sat Richard could
see down the quiet winding road to
the little village at the foot Of the
cliffs. Without seeming to do 70. he
watched Joan's slim, white figure
as she went slowly down the gar.
den path and thru the gate.
| Hastings had left the room to
fetch book Of which he had been
speaking, and with sudden impulse
Richard Ferrier threw the window
wide. and. swinging his long legs
over the sill. dropped down into the
garden below.
Joan was some way down the
road now. He could still see the
outline of her white figure thru the
growing dusk. He followed with big
strides, and presently she disap-
peared round a bend. -
! He came upon her quiotfy-so
quietly that she did not hear him.
