"Oh, sure" said Audrey.
"And, he said, she's darned good-looking
too - don't you Think"
"Oh, sure," repeated Audrey - with, per-

But he was not yet done with the subject.
"She certainly went out of her way to be
nice to us!'' he said
Audrey looked at him thoughtfully. There

not realized, now, that he was attractive to
the Randolph girl.
This modesty had its own charm, of course,
but it might lead to all sorts of embarrassing
complications.
WELL" she observed aloud, "it's nice to
run into somebody you know. l suppose
you'll be seeing lot of her?"
why, sure!" he said. "Why not?"
Audrey had always hated people who were
too petty to stand little honest competition.
She fought vigorously against these first as
saults of jealousy. Was this any way, she
asked herself, to start her college career? So,
by positive effort of will, she put Barbara
Randolph out of her mind.

same gathering and was vexed by the same
question.

they'll think I'm too impressed. And if
wear my beige outfit, maybe they'll think I'm
not impressed enough"
well, the thing for you to do" Audrey
said promptly, is not to act impressed. Just
kind of look as if you were pleased they asked
you, but not surprised or anything"
''Yes," Norma said And l guess they'll
know we've been invited to lot of other
sorority teas. That ought to make 'em stop
and think! Don't you think 50, Audrey"
Audrey nodded absently. She was staring
at herself in the mirror, and at the little hat
perched over her curls.
This is the number that really goes with
my dress, - she announced. But don't know

was ready to introduce her to the strange girl,
in his best formal manner.

George Washington, the man who
first supplemented the document as
the standard Of American Democ-
racy. Perhaps the best written COM
mentary on the Constitution is the
Farewell Address of the Father of
Our Country to the nation when he
prepared to depart from its preSi-
dency. The very heart beat Of the
living document can be heard in
such words as these, contained in
this address: The very idea of the
power and the right of the people
to establish government presupposed
the duty of every individual to obey
the established government" Warn
ing against selfish partisanship, he
pointed out that the domination of
one faction over another, sharpen
ed by the spirit of revenge. is
itself a frightful deSpotiSm." Re
garding the distribution of power in
the departments Of government, he
said, THE spirit of encroachment
tends to consolidate the powers of
all departments into one, and thus
to create, whatever the form of gov
eminent, a real deSpotiSm." And
then there was the one thing in
dispensible, of which he counSelled,
"Of all the dispositions and habits
which lead to political prosperity,
religion and morality are indispens-
ible." To these sentiments, and 9TH
ers like them. James Russell Lowell
referred, when he remarked that the
American Republic will endure "as
long as the ideas of the men who
founded it continue dominant"
Our American Democracy has
very definite tradition, and that
tradition is articulated and safe
guarded by the Constitution. We are
commonly spoken of as the New
World, or the Young Republic of
the U. S. European nations have
contemptuously regarded us as an
upstart nation and adolescents in
the profundities of political philoso-
ply and practice, and certainly as
experimenters without the guidance
of a long national history. But the
truth of the matter is that we have
very conservative political history;
that our national tradition as re-
CARDS government is conservative;
in fact, that we are politically the
most conservative of all modern ma
lions. A glance around the globe
should fill every would-be American
patriot with deep gratitude for this.
