towns socialites for once told the
plain truth-admitted they had
been snubbed, and wondered why.
Only middle-class youth had been
invited to Jeremy fuckers party,
when old man Merrifield's prestige
might have commanded the most
ultra" in everything. A lot OF
Youths had grown up here in al
fuence and had never even seen in
side the Merrifield home. Why IN
the devil were they ostracized now?
A few men, driven by home pres
sure, ventured to open the topic to
Mr.. Merrifeld himself during this
week. They did it as tactfully as
they could, when they met him
downtown, but they did not fool
shrewd old man Benjamin. He CO.
served the trend of things and he
chuckled delightedly. A rank dem
ocrat himself, he loved to tWlL
those who were inherent snobs.
That Gayle and Bill had chosen
their own OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES boys
and girls who worked or at least
knew something of responsibility in
nfe-was the most satisfying thing
Mr.. Merrifeld found about the
party. He had a grand week just
thinking of it. And-the newspa-
per society editors (although quite
unknown to him personality SINH
larly enjoyed the whole thing.

Just too, too precious. High hat

could do it but the old gent with

gals, doesn't give damn-and it's

with it. He can.

was a Grade A success, even with

not only will inherit practically
everything west of the Mississippi,
he is a pretty good egg as well,
people say. And an interesting
point there-seven delicate, deli
cious, delightful and dainty dam

Jeremys nose. If that strings some

On Friday morning he came back
from town and the first thing he
heard when he entered his home
was piano music. He went at once
to the music room and peered IN
to see Jeremy and Gayle sitting at

fun, rehearsals for Maid to Meas
ure" went forward steadily on Fri
day and Saturday. Bill Bailey and
Gayle took turns at directing and
acting.
"You can act some, but you can
direct BETTER" Bill told Gayle.
You'll get by in the cast, though"
She realized the truth of that.
Bill was really talented at dra.
MATES. He just seemed to sense
what was good, or how to make it
good. He could change carelessly
written line or two in the comedy
script and make it sparkle more
than the author had. He could orig
mate stage business little move
ments for the actors to make, short
asides, life-like EXPLANATIONS and
expressions. He could step up stage
and demonstrate what he meant,
also.
Gayle, a natural leader, could
help others develop themselves, but
became a trifle stiff when in char
acter herself. She had the lead fcmi-
nine role, and Bill said she would
improve before an audience.
That young man did a lot of re-
hearsing with her. The script called
for him to kiss her perfunctorily
twice, and very lovingly and lin
geringly on another occasion. This
latter he deemed worthy of much
practice.

He grinned, still holding her in

T-well, it was before I thought.
I do not allow boys to kiss me. I
am quite serious about it. I intend

Then another girl could take my

Gayle threw book at HIM

in laughter. Jeremy Tucker, who
hadn't been sure how much of all
this was kidding, looked somewhat
