Not Too Good.

IF should make little
prayer to voice my deep de-
- sires, of course I'd name the
best things there to which n.y.
soul aspires. I'd have to make a
lengthy list, so many things

sist each week, ignoble deed.
And I'd recall Earth's splendid
men, who worked with heart and
head, and name their virtues all
again, for. in their steps I'd tread.
I'd scan old chronicles of fame
to find what folks prefer, and
tracing up each hero's name, I'd
see what sort they were. I know

why shouldn't Mr.. Ramon Cor

Rosa stared at me for a mo-

with laughter and she straight
ened back in her chair, giving all
her attention to the selection and
lighting of cigarette.

White Lilac. does my Ramon de-

Rosa" I cried, utterly non

where she would try to turn the
conversational vortex into which
she was plunging. What under
the sun are you driving at? Why
should Ramon have to defend
you from me? I'm not inclined
to attack folks behind their backs
and would never have sug-
gested that I'd need to defend
Jim from you. Haven't you

But Rosa narrowed her eyes
and leaned forward. tapping her
fingers dernandingly on the re-

she dashed my hopes of SMOOTH
