an old quarrel.
I will 60" said Dorothy.
You won't" said the mother.
You should be out looking for a
job"
But Dorothy. chatting at home re-
straints. did attend the party. Under
the bright lights she was the life
OF the party" Her singing and dane
Ing were in joyous mood
In the streets newsboys shouted
of her mothers murder, and by tele-

were seeking Dorothy herself as the
slayer.

I could forget my troubles then. Ny

give 1t up and lose all my gay
friends. Father left home after one
bad quarrel about me. My brother
changed from a pal to an enemy.
And my mother ~quarreled every time
she know I was going on a party.
Getting up that morning, mother
suggested that I look in the papers
for a job. as I had been idle two
months. 1 told her I wouldn't that
