To give you the full Of this remark
able. unbelievable tale, without more
ado, permit me to say that Theses f1Ve
children sat squarely in their seats
clear downtown.
They conversed with one another
in well bred tones, looked out the win
dow, smiled enjoyed themselves. They
did not wriggle around, giggle. shout
scream. hop up and down. tread on
any toes. wipe their feet on any coats,
throw any caps out the window, talk
in loud tones, or In any way try to
attract any attention TO themselves.
/ tell you again, we couldn't believe
it. We watched them as II fascinated.
To the right, looking out the left side
of the bus, sat the tall boy in tn red
sweater, which had a big roll around
the neck. He had on neat tan shoes
and brown knickerbockers, and he was
topped with big gray cap.
This chap had a lean, foxlike face,
either well tanned or natural. it was
hard to tell which. His eyes were OF
the slanting, oriental order. He looked
as If he were a pretty wise young
customer. He was neat as a pin. and
sat there just looking out the window
Next to him was the boy about IL
years old, clad in a yellow 'slicker,
cap, gray trousers, chubby dark shoes
He was frcckled, with small blue eyes
and he had a comcal twist TO his
mouth. He sat staring straight before
him.
In the center. as if befitting her
beauty, sat the 9.year-old girl. Some

socks.
Her face was of the round so uare
order if you understand what | mean
her features delicate, her very ~,
mosphere sweet and Iowa bic. Tiny
blue veins showed through the white
OF her skin above her knees. which
she modestly covered after a Will,
with a pink dress which had got pulled
up above the leather raincoat.
She was, indeed picture of wha

sat there talking 10 the freckledfaCeC
boy. and many a man and woman
turned around TO look at her. such
is the charm of true woma nhood
