lashes and lightened their hair, and scent
seemed to simmer from them. They wore
thin, bright dresses, tight over their breasts
and high on their legs, and tilted slippers,
fancifully strapped. They looked proud
and cheap and charming.
Now, as they walked across to Fifth
Avenue with their skirts swirled by the hot
wind, they received audible admiration.
Young men grouped lethargically about
newsstands awarded them murmurs, excla-
nations, even - the ultimate tribute -
whistles. Annabel and Midge passed with
out the condescension of hurrying their
pace; they held their heads higher and set
their feet with exquisite precision, as if
they stepped over the necks of peasants.
Always the girls went to walk on Fifth
Avenue on their free afternoons. The game
could be played anywhere, and, indeed, was,
but the great shop windows stimulated the
two players to their best form.
a mabel had invented the game, or
L y rather she had evolved it from an old
one. Basically, it was no more than the
ancient sport of Observation-Disclosures
Observation-Disclosures But Annabel had
drawn a new set of rules for it, had mar
rowed it, pointed it, made it stricter. Like
all games, it was the more absorbing for
being more difficult
Annabel's version went like this: You
must suppose that somebody dies and leaves
you million dollars, cool. But there is a
condition to the bequest - you must spend
every nickel of the money on yourself.
There lay the hazard of the game. If,
when playing it, you forgot, and listed
among your expenditures the rental Of
new apartment for your family, for example,
you lost your turn to the other player. 1t
was astonishing how many - and some Of
them among the experts, too - would for
felt all their innings by such slips.
1t was essential, of course, that it be
played in passionate seriousness. Each
purchase must be carefully considered and,
if Unnecessary, supported by argument. There
was no zest to playing wildly.
But Annabel and Midge we're surely born
to be comrades, for Midge played the game
like master from the moment she learned
it. 1t was she who added the touches that
made the whole thing cozier. According to
Midge's innovations, the eccentric who died

His wife, Josephine, and Jo-

away from a work gang.
Detectives traced him and
arrested him. In the mean
time, services had been ar

Pomona police heard Lopez's
story and agreed to let him
attend.

back and prove he could be a
good citizen"
