CHAPTER III.
Her Mothers Daughter.

II Leila had taken Mr.. Hemingway s
advice to heart she wouldn't have
been her mothers own daughter. 1t
had been Mrs. Marsh's philosophy to
live from day to day, and Leila, with
$500 in her possession, proceeded to do
the same thing.
Each night she told herself opti-
nnistically that something was sure to
happen. and when at the end of the
week Mr.. Hemingway stopped paying
her expenses she still remained at the
hotel.
During these days she did not think
very much; she just drtfted along. al

proposed to her. She had refused him,
of course, because she wasn't the
slightest bit in love with him. She
never could take him seriously. But
now she felt that it might not be a
bad idea to encourage him to propose
again. and in consequence whenever
she met him anywhere she was I'M
usually sweet to him.
AS 1t happened. however, Tommy
showed no disposition to be serious.
He was pleasantly engaging, but Leila
felt a certain cautiousnesS in his man

In such short time. but gradually
she was made to realize that he had

HOW 1T STARTED

Well, we'll call him John Doe"
Whenever one cannot or does not wish
to give a mans name, John Doe serves
to identify him. And John covers a
multitude of sins. The subject Of every
discreet scandal, he also buys more

bination in the arithmetic!
John Doe" and the now less ia
miliar Richard Roe" started as terms
in a legal document. John Doe" was
the name of the fictitious plaintiff in
the old common-law action Of eject

used in any other action in which the
name Of the real plaintiff was WITH

defendant was desired. Richard Roe"
served the purpose. 1t Is thought that
John Doe" was the real name of a
clerk or other employee Of the English
court of Kings Bench. in which the
action of ejectment originated, who
lent his name regularly to fill in where
a name was needed.

comment that Americans often make
after having visited some of the most

establishments is: "Of course they

In England it Is the same way. A
prominent London dressmaker after
a short trip to Paris came back with
the comment: II saw nothing of any
special novelty either in design or

just as well in England now"
Doubtless the trouble is a lack of
understa nding of the real genius Of
the great French designer and of the
