or a mouse trap or cigaret or
soap or anything else in the Unite,
; States of America, your produc
had better be up to its advertise,
claims. If it isn't, John Custome
will discover that fact rattle
promptly, and send you into tn,
business oblivion you unquestioh
ably deserve. It is the American
way, and it is a good way.
Mrs. Sara Sue Davis, Incorpo.
rated, was well aware of that. Mo-
so much as a business principle
for she was none too experienced
in business-but as a rather obvi-
Gus American moral principle. In
short, she believed it was dishon-
est, sneaking, mean, to advertise
a product or a service which was
not as advertised. And she had adj
vertised expert counsel in ro-
fance.
One Of her most enthusiastic
customers had been Mr.. Worthing-
ton Gurley, almost Is years old.
She had accepted his money and
agreed to guide his heart affairs.
When Fate diabolically caused
Worthington to fall in love with
Sara Sue herself, she still did not
feel free Of obligation.
"He's cute boy" she admitted.
in serious discussion with her
Mother Davis one night. "I've got
to stop him from seeing so much
OF me. I've got plan, too"
"What. dear?" Mother Davis
asked.
Never mind. I'll tell you about
1t afterward-if it works. He
thinks he's in love with me-"
She chose as the scene for her
nefarious frame-up the fashionable
Montrose Plunge. This swimming
pool, in a beautiful country club.
is itself a work of art. It is out
doors inN summer; indoors and
heated in winter, with a glass
roof. There are many beautiful tile
pictures, many. ported palms.
pretty this and pretty that. Sara
Sue agreed to go with Worthing-
ton for a private" swim at Ii
O'Clock in the morning. 1t was a
day when he had no classes from
1880 to 1, and an hour when prob
ably nobody else would be SWIM
ming. But-Sara Sue said she had |
to go down town first and would |
meet him at the Plunge. That was
part of her nefarious plan.
Another nefarious move was to |
telephone Helen Mexican, who was
Sara Sues friend and who weighed |
212 pounds and who had a similar
ly adipose sister.

you all about it then. Secretw
The fat Mexican girls were good |
friends OF Sara Sue. They readily |
agreed.
Finally, Sara Sue Davis. Incor- |
porated, telephoned Miss Marcia |

knew Marcia liked her, was in fact
one of her most enthusiastic cus-
