OO Oe OeOeOeOeh HER WAY : OF PLEASING EVERYBODY 3-0-2 04-00-00 OO» + (® by D. J. Walsh.) EATRICE HALLECK at twenty had achieved without conscious effort the distinction of being the most popular girl in town. Just looking at her one understood her popularity with mea, but it was rath- er amazing to find she was just as much sought after by girls, At present Beatrice possessed three girl friends; each firmly be- lieved she alone held a plgce in Bea's heart that no one else could even look into. Beatrice, because above all things she couldn't bear to hurt peo- ple, had let them think The friendships had Just “happened” and ghe hadn't the courage to tell any of them that the deyotion was one sided. This beautiful morning sat in the living room of her home and poured her troubles into the ever ready ears of Jim Boyd. “What am 1 going to do?" she wailed. “Why couldn't 1 have told Ruth that Nora expects me to go 10 India as a missionary with her? tuth is positively set on having me go to New York to lead a terrifically Bo- hemian life with her. It sounds thrill ing, too. I can just see that studio in Greenwich Village and Ruth and 1 in very sudden varieties of boyish bobs, wearing futuristic smocks and sandals and going without stockings.” Jim whistled in mild surprise, “Go on.” he said good-naturedly. “And—and both of us gracefully around.” “I never heard of anyone gracefully,’ ” Jim interrupted edly. “Slithering gracefully around,” insisted, “amid—" “amid, what?’ he gasped. “A tea table or red Chinese lacquer and black lacquer chairs, with people sitting them—languidly graceful, ‘nteresting looking seople.” “How awful!” he breathed. “Jim Boyd, if you interrupt pgain I'll send you home,” she said severely. “All right, but get the agony over with quickly,” was the reply. “Well, as 1 said before, the people must be interesting —long-hairel mu- giclans, bow-tied artists, charleston dancers. actors and, and—a spring poet. Oh Jim, do you think you could get me a spring poet?” “Gosh, this is worse than the time you ordered an to be deliv- ered before night and nobody in town owning anything but fox and bulldogs.” “But 1 must have a spring insisted. “He'd lend atmosphere—Jim, a spring poet?” “Yes, yes,” I should would the “best” 80. she slithering ‘slithering disgust- she on airedale terriers poet.” much-— you get she help ]0 cant ine said think a supply old geeze “though the Vill: What should like?” “Oh, 1 don’t know,” just a regular spring poet.” “Maybe a spring tonic better.” said Jim wisely, “Let's get poets and go play tennis.” “Bat, Ji wouldn't it be wonder- ful to feel one had been called to do a great work for mankind in India?” “What?” Jim “1 said,” explained the “wouldn't it be wonderful to had been called to do a for mankind im India?” “Who's been called?” suspiciously. “I don’t have.” “Applesauce! How could you be leading a Bohemian life in New York while you were teaching the heathen in India?” “That's just it—how? Nora knows that long ago I gave up all thought of marriage, so naturally she expects me to spend my declining years with her, uth expects the same, and to- morrow they're both coming to make final arrangements for my future.” “Well, why the dickens don’t you tell one of them that she isn't your best friend?” “Oh. 1 couldn't do that, you know. They'd feel badly-~really they would.” “1 give up,” said Jim, shaking his head. “Come on, let's play tennis.” “Jim.” she said, “I don’t know why you're so comforting, but you are, al though you never give me any advice that's worth taking.” “Well. there's nothing frank, but some day 1 really bright suggestion. the courts!” “Jim.” she gasped as they reached the courts, “can’t you picture me in a dark gray dress with high collar and cuffs and my hair grown long and pulled straight off my facé and done in a fiat "knob at the back--with dbout 500 little brown babies, teach- ing them their prayers and things?" “No, 1 can't,” said Jim decidedly. “I can't at all. Why, here comes Jean and Donald. We'll play doubles.” When the game was over Jean, a tall fair-haiied girl, drew Beatrice aside and whispered: “Listen, dear; 1 have the most won- derful scheme, 1 must talk it over with you. Let's get rid of the boys. ft's something we can devote our lives to." “Km sure it's a splendid scheme if you thought of It" said Beatrice, weakly, Silently she cursed herself for the pretty speeches which came go readily to her lips at such times, 1ge vaguely ; "just, be for- would cried in astonishment, girl gently, feel great work one asked Jim know—1 think maybe like being may have a Race you to hearing Sean turned to her friend excitedly : “N.no-—never,” was the answer, “ewould you love to?” “I-—1 don't know,” faltered, “They're kind of cule when they are little and furry.” “Oh, they're wonderful! There is nothing to compare with them—in all stages.” Jean clasped her hands and her becaine wider and brighter as though she were pleturing to her- self millions of chickens of every con ceivable color and breed.” entrice looked at her friend in mild-eyed astonishment. Much as she liked on rare occasions them, she would not have believed that any feathered crea- tures were capable of arousing 80 much enthusiasm in the breast of Jean, the calm and serene. Appar ently it was worth while to cultivate barnyard acquaintances. “Where did you get to know ens so well?” she ventured. “Where?' Jean turned. “So well? I don't know anything about them ex- cept what 1 read in the Monthly yesterday, but it made me realize that my vocation in life Is to raise chickens and vou, Bea, dear, are to help me.
