suitcase.

now let me show you something |

kinda suspicious. Why, / says the
members of our Ladies Thursda-
Club, of course-they all said they
were coming as soon as they heard
you were to be here-they wouldn't
miss meeting you for words. Say.
says Miss Hedge. 1 don't generally get
treated as good as this. what's the
big idea? Now now. 1 says coyly,
you don't want fiattery, do YOU
but how modest You are-you must
realize, though, that we don't often
have the honor of entertaining a
successful professional woman like
you. Don't You realize, dear lady, that

Well, I'll tell the world. In case

reception was a wonder. And when
the ladies come up and met Miss
Althea Hedge and asked her questions
about her work, her answers was
simply brilliant. When Mrs. Goofnah.
for Il sample shot her a deep one to

Hedge done her work, at night or

S TO i. daylight. There was a tense
something about her as we all come TO
agree-a something-ah. You get me.
