But don't forget, Lucy, all
the boys in the neighborhood
were present. You played post
office, drop the pillow, and
plenty of other kissing games.
You didn't call it 'necking' as
these frank kids do. What else
was it?"
Because they're frank about
their 'petting,' is it any the less
dangerous?"
"Lucy, don't be a SNUG idiot!
They've probably had a kiss
apiece, which is no more than I
had at 16, or you, either. You

Pippin Feels Audacious
Chickie could wilt before an
attack like this. The blue gown
was the first Pippin had ever
bought alone. She felt auda-
cious and grown-up with that
low back and long, sweeping
line. Hadn't dreamed of other
things. Now she would fold into
herself in the way she had when
troubled. Chickie would be pow
erless to ease her hurt. She felt
grievously to blame.
Don't get excited about it,"
Mary interposed, her voice
sharp, but her eyes warm with
all that old love between them.
Their life is their own! Even

not try to live Kathleen's. And
you leave Pippin alone, Chickie.
She's all right-and she'll stay
all right to the end of the road"
Sure, she'll stay all right. but
why the flag-waving?"
At the deep, masculine voice,
Mary'S face lighted. She walked
across the room to meet her

entered from the hall. Mary

What Really Happens
When Miners Go
on Strike
BY GILBERT SELDES

Last summer I was In the Al
leghanieS, some twenty miles
from Jniontown, where the coal
miners were striking. The
mountains there are low and
on the slopes of the foothills
you see great patches of grow
ing corn, or wheat, or clover;
behind them forests, some still
Of virgin growth; you can see
deer occasionally. It is one OF
the most beautiful countries I
know-and every fifteen miles
or so you come across a COM
pany town, a miners village,
drab and ugly beyond all tell
ing.
Into this country and into the
houses in these towns went a
young woman just out Of col.
lege, Lauren Gilfillan. She had
nothing else to do, no job, and
she was adventurous. Her ap-
proach was direct; she got out
Of q car some distance away,
SO that she would not be Sus-
pected of having money enough
to hire q car, walked to a house
and asked to be taken in Tor
the night. The next morning
she went out on the picket
lines.
A Fine Record
Her object was to write a
book. and she succeeded. Il
Went to Pitt College" is this
months choice of the Literary
Guild. It tells of her friend
ship with miners, their wives,
their sons and daughters. Her
great merit is that she was so
absorbed in the lives Of human
beings that she hadn't time to
patronize the ignorant or pity
too much the suffering.
Where one son in a family
was scabbing another might be
on strike-both of them pushed
by the same terrible necessity.
Miss Gilfillan tells about them,
reporting what they said, even
when they told her that she
was the kind of girl they'd IKE
to see killed, as girl COM
munist did tell her.
She is in favor of the strikers
and in favor of the more rad
ical of the miners organizations.
ant that slight prejudice only
gives more body to her olrecS
and forceful record.
History Repeats
The fantastic trial now going
on in London about the Raspu-
tin movie has turned from
suit for damages into an inquiry
into the historical event, with a
confessed assassin telling MS
story, asserting his right to be
called the destroyer of Rasputln
against all others.
At one point, Prince Yous-
Soupoff made a remark Whlch
seemed like an echo Of history.
His lawyer asked him whether
he was not so nervous that ne
hardly knew what he was doing:
ut is quite natural" replied
the prince. "I am not a pro-
fessiOnal murderer"
At the trial of Charlotte Cor.
day. for the assassination OF
Marat, the prosecution tried to
prove that the accuracy OF ner
blow indicated a fixed inten"
ton, if not actual practice.
And Charlotte cried out 1ndlg'
nantly: "He is trying to make
me out a murderess!" I wonder
if Prince Youssoupoff heard
echoes in the courtroom when
he spoke?
