It was as inevitable that Mildred and Leonie

The girls scholastic reports were terrible. Nor
were they distinguished in athletics, for they both
regarded It as prosac and crude to excel at diver

Mildred or Leonie whereas any pupil or teacher
would have told you without hesitation suffering
that they were the two most uminant personalities
in the flock.
This went on through the three years at the
Misses Bradbury's. In vacation times the girls

made note and Harlan Thomson. Mildred's earliest

And Il was 60 ordered. Mildred didn't remain
for the wedding, having some important skylarking
to attend to in Deauviue. And by the time she
had done all the peak points Of Europe, Leonie
was in her second full moon Of rapturous BRIDE

She had decided that Harlan would like q duplex

a large house and really go in for entertaining.

Harlan had turned out to be all that Leonia
had dreamed and Mildred had threatened. Thea

wanted little more than just loafing and lounging
and Iollinx about "the house" when he wasn't
downtown in the parental offices growing up with
the business.
Leonie wasn't acutely agitated with a sense Of
supreme intoxication over It. But she was content
enough. She had seen everything and everybody
that mattered she knew that she had q long life
ahead to keep up with any new curiosities that
might overtake her, and Harlan was so soothing.
