She closed her eyes swiftly.
The young man, scarlet to the
roots of his thick black hair,
caught Kathie, his sister, by the
shoulders and turned the girls
from the room. Pippin stuck
her foot over the threshold,
managing a tremuious, you've
promised, Kelvin?"
"Al right, but don't get me in
wrong with the mamaS."
The two girls ran down the
stairs of the big, fashioned
house. Kathie said, Guess we
put that over pretty!"
In a dream, Pippin nodded.
In a dream she walked the eight
blocks from Kathie McPike's
home in Jackson Street to her
own on Broadway.
Pippin Radiant From
Kevin'S Kiss
How radiant the water looked,
and what a song in the flutter
of trees along the Preside walls.
Life was so beautiful. Why
should they wish to keep her
from its strange, wild joys?
Underneath, she thought excit-
eddy, and a little scared: why
did Kelvin do that?"
She had never been kissed
well, not like that. nothing in
the world so Intoxicating as that
before.
She paused before a red brick
house and absently regarded a
tree dahlia all lavender with
flowers. She was piercingly
aware of its delicate loneliness.
She went into the living room
and stood at the window hidden
in the gathering dusk. Upstairs
her younger brothers shouted.
She scarcely heard. Her thoughts
focused on the sweet astonish-
ment still warm on her lips.
Kelvin Malone was the most
attractive man Pippin knew. He
was a doctor, nearly "a, and
brilliant. They we're all excited
about Kevin's future.
Pippin knew him all her life.
That couldn't daunt Kevin'S
charm. He was the foster son Of
Mary Blake McPike. Mary-that
great chum of Pippin's mother.

College Education A
Waste Of Time
and Money?
BY GILBERT SELDES

The writer Of the following
letter lives in Binghamton, and,
as you will see, is Is years
old. But he has managed to
pack into 100 words or so more
questions about what is going
on in America than General
johnson is likely to get in his
public request for criticism OF
the NRA. Here is the letter:
''What do you think about a
college education when the stu
dent Is not going to take up

Hnent Of q professor in which ne

Is a waste of time and money:
81 am Is years old and will
graduate from high school IN

planning to go to college ana
take up business administration.
I know that such a course Is
mot necessary in order to be-
come a success in business but
I think it is very advisable. 1
would like to have your opln'
ion. Yours truly,
ORCHARD KUHNEN.
Ought to Know
I know 7 have in this letter
an opportunity for the kind OF
immortality which came to an
editor a long time ago when ne
received a letter asking If there
was really a Santa Claus. AS
a matter of fact, Richard
Kuhnen is asking me whether
there is a Santa Claus Tor
America. But my answer is not
going to be immortal. I know
that perfectly. I have few con-
victions on the subject and
don't feel bit whimsical.
The thing that strikes me
most is that Mr.. Kuhnen has
been disturbed by college
professor who advises people not
to go to college. have a list
Of several dozen such profess
Sors, and some are college presl-
dents.
For three years men in au-
thority in our colleges have been
belittling college education.
They may be quite right. They
ought to know. At the same
time they are taking away one
of the gilded df not golden)
promises that used to be held
out to Americans-the promise
that you can be as well edu-
Gated as anybody in the country
and that your education will
bring you good returns.
Youth Is Doubtful
The next point is that my
young correspondent is doubt
full about the value of course
in business administration.
That is another breakdown
in good American doctrine.
Twenty years ago no college
was complete without a re-
splendent school for teaching
the technique of business. To
day youth of is suspects
that he might get on just as
we'll without this special train
ing. Is it possible that our
respect for business has gone
down a little bit?
And finally, I don't know
what Richard Kuhnen ought to
do next year when he gradu-
ates from high school. If he
is not going to get a job, the
less preparation he has the
better. It must be terrible
thing to become a trained cleo
trical engineer or chemist-be-
cause you really like engineer
ing or chemistry-and then
you have no chance in the
world to do your work.
