room near the Rice campus.
But it wasn't going to be a tea
room.
Somehow, Sara Sue Davis-the
extraordinarily youngish ana love-
ly widow Davis-did not like the
idea of a tea room. It had been sug-
gested to her, not by her.
Tea room! It sounded to dainty.
No, not dainty, but. Well, she
had been reared with love of
tomboyish action, of football and
swimming and such virile sports.
Her Larry had been Rice half
back. True, the heartache of
Larry's passing had been eased now
by time, and by her own youth. But
-oh, well, she didn't want a tea
room: there were too many of
them.
She and her Mother Davis had
surveyed her possibilities, and then
all at once Sara had been struck by
her Grand Idea!
At least she thought it was
grand. She had an instant enthusi-
asm for it, and that's half of any
business battle. She had gone to her
banker to discuss it, and he had
|smilingly decided it might work.
"This year of 1888 is recession
year, Sara Sue," the banker had
admitted. "But don't be afraid.
Slack times are when we should
SOW business seed, always. The
weaklings are crowded out now.
The courageous lay the groundwork
for success while other people
whine. You have few hundred dol
lars, enough to form corporation,
Go on and try your plan. 1t is much
better than hunting a $20-a-week
job"
That counsel had boosted her
spirits immensely. But, riding home
that day, she had been rather
frightened, too.
She, the widow Davis, knew little
about business. Her occasional jobs
had given her but limited expert
ence. True, she was undoubtedly
more mature now than she had
been, she told herself. She had
married at 18. A girl IS awfully
young, then. At % one can think
more sensibly. A honeymoon year
and tragedy and four years to
recover ones spirit-these things
all amount to Experience, don't
they?
| Sara Size asked herself that. anC
answered herself yes Her think
ing might have been amusing to ar
elderly person, for she was still sc
young, so sweet and young. But
any elderly person would have adj
mired her spirit; the banker, fol
instance, did. And so did her kindly
beloved mother-in-law, also left
alone by Larry's passing. It made
no difference if the girls plan was
