I've been working said Larry
shortly.
"Snubbed, by God! I don't for a
minute believe you're telling the
facts. I've heard tales"
Ellen had a premonition that
something unpleasant was com.
Ing. She hastily kicked off her sill
yer slippers. She made as much
noise as possible and partially sue
ceeded In drowning out the voices.
But q moment later as she pulled
on her patent leather pumps she
heard Il squeal of excitement from
the soprano voice.
Larry. you dog" exclaimed the
voice In malicious delight. 1T must
be the little pickup. the taxi-dancer,
you're painting. Look Bob--quick!
That's the little charner we were
planning to warn Elizabeth
against @4
Scarlet faced, Ellen stuffed her
fingers into her ears. AS she did
she heard the scratch of the rings
as Larry jerked the curtain across
the portrait he had been doing Of
her. The girls heart seethed with
rage and shame and anger. Iona
had been quelled. There was no
more of the hateful voice. But al
ready Ellen had hear too much.
Enough to understand that Larry's
crowd had discussed her as the
little pickup" had threatened
gayly to inform on him. Iona and
the others considered her an &C.
centricity of Larry's, only girl
with whom to pass the time away
That she had feelings too. feel
ings that could be hurt al easily as
their own had not occurred to them.
What did they care for her, girl
from a Broadway dance hall? Ger
tainly Iona did not care. Ellen felt
perfectly sure that Iona would not
consider it In the least important
that her cruel words might have
been overheard.
The girl went calmly enough
about her dressing. But all the
time she hated, hated the girl out
side, the girl from that other world
of Larry's.
"I'll never see her after tonight"
she thought.
What did it matter what the girl
said or did or thought? How could
it affect her?
But it had affected her. 1t had
almost broken her heart.
Quietly Ellen stepped from the
dressing room into the studio, a
pale, composed little person in blue
dimity with fiuttering cherry rib
bons, a pale little person with a
still, proud ace.
There was an awkward silence
broken by the scraping of chairs.
The two men rose. Iona. dark
thin. sallow girl. hardly glanced at
Ellen. Indeed. she almost yawned
In her face. Ellen saw that she had
been right; Iona had no intention
of being nice to her. She felt a
fierce inner pleasure that even the
modish clothes the other girl wore
could not make her anything but a
disconnected. rather homeiy young
woman. As for Bob--he was simply
another young man In fiannels.

within half an hour. She refused
to let Larry take her home.

CHILDREN
A CHILp,s FRIENDS

- SAAAAAAN y A<o
Mothers often look for certain
things in their children's play
mates, regardless of deeper quail
ties that count for so much.
Mary Smiths mother looks down
the street at IL o'clock and sees
Mary coming arm In arm with the
youngest of the Jones crowd"
that lives on Star Way. They are
always called the Jones crowd,
as though they had no right to the
word children"
Mr. Jones did something or
other one time, not quite clear In
the neighborhood mind, and was
never more seen at home. Mrs
Jones, work-to-death little per-
son was left with FIVE children to
support. She sewed and went out
on odd jobs serving at parties,
keeping other peoples children,
doing whatever she could do to
feed her own small fry.
She had the qualities of a lady,
though she usually wore other
peoples clothes-and so did her
children. The Jones children were
clean and well hammered but usu-
ally. for obvious reasons, they
looked like the rag tag and bob
tail Of all time.
II Mrs Jones had had a decent
husband she could have and would
have lived on North Avenue In
stead of on Star Way. She would
have belonged to the best club and
80 on, because certain citizens re-
membered that II was her family
who had given the hospital to the
town and in those days they had
been respected and kowtowed to.
Suspicious of the Joncscs
But they also remembered Mr.
Jones, and the Jones crowd" poor
little souls, were loked upon sus-
piclously as undesirable compan-
ions for their own children.
Mrs Smith desires that she will
soon put Il stop to the intimacy
between Mary and Sarah Jones. 1t
has happened too often lately.
"Mary. what Is the matter with
YOU and Dorothy? You never
seem to play with her any more. :"
Dorothy? oh. nothing. Well

figure stood In the doorway that

Joe Raynor.

discovered that she had given the
children bright red lollipops and
carnation- colored ice cream, and
also reported that DR. Raynor had
