CHAPTER IX
4 Studio Tea

TN THINKING the matter over,
l. -enl.zed that Julie did not tell me the
name Of this man who attracts her so
much. I had to be so careful at the
time in the questions asked and the
remarks ! made. and although / meant.
OF course to ask the mans name. the
thing slipped my mind entirely.
Yesterday l went down to Lolita
Frcnch's studio with her and | must
say that / had a very delightful time.
Julie had cautioned me not to be
surprised at anything I saw.
"For heavens sake. don't give them
the dca that you're sIumm!aG,' she had
said. so wore very simple suit and
small, inconspicuoUs hat. and Julie
told me afterwurd that ! entered into
the spirit of everything Ike n true sport.
The studio is on an old street off
Washington Square. We climbed three
fights of stairs. and the door on the
top landing was opened by girl with
short hair. She vas dressed in loose

fingers she held Il cigarette.
She seemed very charming and mt
ural and honestly glad to see Julie, and
the studio itself with its enormous sky
! lght was different from anything l had
! ever seen.
The air was thick with cigarette
smoke. All the women were smoking,
and Lolita seemed surprised when ] de-
clinrd her offer of cigarette. glanced
at Julie narrowly, and was thankful
that she also refused. 1t isn't that

long haired poet who rend couple OF
poems IN free verse and talked great

Read Your Character
BY Digbp Phillips
Fiat Ears

Fiat Ears
You have seen that the outstanding
ear indicates q certain amount of exec
utive ability, n certain lack of bashful
ness, natural inclination to step for
ward with opinions and upon occasion
to take charge Of things instinctively.
The opposite of extension" ears,
that is to say, ears which lie fat against
the head. indicates exactly opposite
traits.
It makes no difference whether the
ears are big or little (for the indica
tions of size are n different matter)
fiat-eared persons belong in the class of
rcticence.
They are not as rule takers, though
if they do talk great deal you will be
surprised, upon remembering a recent
conversation with them, to realize how
little they have really told you of their
own thoughts and opinions.
They say girls can't keep secrets. but
you'll find that the ones whose ears lie
close TO their heads can. particularly
those secrets which concern themselves
It follows that such people are tactful.
They do not blurt things out. They
think before they talk.

The team is declared to be in fighting trim and ready to leave F-ida,y night for San Diego where the A-izonans are slated to tangle with the famous Praying Colonels from the hills of Kentucky on Monday afternoon in the coast city stadium. The game is the big gest international clash of the sea- son and offers the southwestern con- ference champions a chance to gain national football recognition and bring the worth of their football team before the eyes of the entire nation. Coach McKale has left nothing un- done that would help his charges in the game and will leave this city confident that the Wildcats will give the conquerors of Harvard a close run for their money at least.
 With every player in excellent con- cition and the team working in per feet order, the chances of the Wild cats are considered excellent against the Centre College eleven.

 Next Monday Young Hockbone and Young Mike will top the card in a scheduled eight round bout that will definitely determine Mikes class as a big town possibility. Hockbone will give Mike the test he needs and if the local boy wins the fans will admit that a real champion is in the making right here in Phoenix.
 In the semi final Tiny Refeld of Prescott is coming down to try out Eddie Lovett in six rounds. Refeld is we'll known to Phoenix fans through two bouts with Young Ar mold Tiny lost to Arnold, but he made himself solid with the fans in both fights. Lovett is the best
