1 Became Deeper In Trouble Than
Ever On Ann's Account.
“Listen, Jane. And then give
your hubby a kiss. Here’s how it
all happened,” Ann rattled on.
“Hath said she'd see that I had a
chaperone and she kept tab on me
v, by phone, and when she found that

awfully mad because as a partner at

grounch! You can have him, Janie!'
Ann grimaced at Bob and wink
ed! Actually winked as if he air
she had sme secret understanding
which she was putting over me as :
joke.
“Jane, they came down like the
Assyrians on the fold and poor lit
tie me lost mv man! Usually I adore
my big brether-in-law, but today—”
She flirted the tips of her white
gloveB against my nusband's cheek.
“Come on. Deb. Since Kath he
taken Van off, and Jane must walk
with Bob, I'll have to put up with
you, Debbie, dear.”
Bob stepped to my side dutifully
and before we entered the auto he^
managed to whisper to me: I
“I came home to get you, Jane. 1

wonder what we’re ever going to do |

me.’ I said bitter’v.
Bob couldnt reply because we had
reached the auto. He didn’t want
to reply. I said to myself as we
whirled Ann to her husband.
Ann was saved from herself once
more, but i was deeper iu trouble
tha'n ever on her account.
The Chang Foo adventure left me
half sick for days. Bob and 1 re
mained on terms of strict neutral?
ity. Only spouses who have tried
to maintain that attitude toward
each other know how exceeding,
wearying it can become in a very
short time.
1 was utterly forlorn without m
husband’s sympathy and under
standing. And I was tired of ex
plantations which never explained
anything.
I had an intiution that I had been
fooled somehow in the affair at the
Chinese restaurant. Lately Ann
had become most solicitous for my
happines-J. She bothered me with
her attentions, as if she knew I had
been deeply Wronged, and was doing
her little bit to ,be kind to me. Or
perhaps it was only part of her prod
igal reaction. For the time, she
was playing up to her husband in the
swpetest fashion.
After a week of misery, I said
to Deb: ,
“You’re all against me, all in a
plot to spare me some knowledge I
ought to have. Now I want the
truth. Debbie dear, and you’re the
only one who will hand it to me.
What happened at Chang Foo's?”
“Ask Ann.”
“I can’t frust her.”
“Really, she has an awfully kind
heart, Jane. Don’t he so hard on
her always. She’s fond of you, my
dear.” . .
Perhaps,” T muttered, then I per
sisted. “Tell me about that after
noon at Chang Foo’s when I went to
the dressing room.”
“If I must, I only do so to prove
that Ann is terribly fond of you.
That day, she saw you leave our ta
ble and enter the waiting room. She
was astonished, horrifed, for she
knew that Bob and Katherine were in
one of the most secluded stalls.”

Edith May (l.ft) in ov.r.ll., sn *pp.d in a cornfield near her horn, t
costume in which sh. appeared in th e Ziegf.ld Folliaa in Now York.
E DITH MAY. the Prettiest Salesgirl in America, jumped from the quiet
obscurity of a backwoods Wisconsin village to the heart of hectic
Broadway, overnight/ landing buck'stage in the famous Ziegfcld girl shows
first the Follies, then the Midnight Frolic. Edith May (Leuenberger) was
born in Monroe. Wis., and lived there all the 17 years of her life.
She had never seen a skyscraper; had never been to a theater
(except the village movie): had npver eaten in a city restaurant or slept in
a hotel or Pullman car. Then suddenly she won the National Salesgirls’
Beauty Contest, and was whisked to New York for her prise—a trial in
Ziegfeld’s shows and Mayflower movies. This is her own story of her ad
ventures 'and experiences to date. "Cousin Edna” refei ed to in the sto
ries, is her cousin who accompanied her as chaperon. "Friend Lady” is a
woman writer who helped her get started in her stage career.
NO. 3.—IS A GIRL SAFE? j
When I left Monfoe to come east,
my mother was anxious. New York,
my people felt, was unsafe for a
young girl. Everyone said I would
be surrounded by dangers—-on the
streets, in the hotel, at the theater,
the movie studio.
I wondered about this. I have been
New York several weeks, and have
now reached this conclusion:
That there are plenty of dangers
for the sillv girl. And that the girl
of common sense and modest beha
vior can avoid them.
In other words, it.all 'depends on
the girl herself.
.The first thing that startled me in
New York was the way the girls and
women dressed.
A girl wearing.a bathing suit or
ball gown on the street is bound to
attract attention from men. If she
also does her hair in a freakish way,
routes her cheeks till she looks to be
dying of a fever, paints her lips like
a brick wall and applies powder with
the effect of having dived for an apple
in a flour barrel on Hallowe’en, every
man who stares at her knows he has
right to.
Advertised For It
If the man insults her, such a girl
usually turns upon him in a rage.
Yet she has only herself to blame.
She not only invited trouble. She
advertised for it.
One night when I ran out late to
post some letters
me.
“Yes.”
He looked as if he didn’t believe it,
but said no more.
I was glad when Edna came. As
we walked down the corridor to
door, the man followed a little way.
He watched us go in. We were ner
vous. and after a while we opened
the door a crack and looked out. He
had gone.
- I told Friend Lady the next day.
She asked me to describe the man.
“Too Countryfied.”
“It was the hotel detective,” she
said.
And all at once I realized that in
my home-made frock and hat 'my
countrified appearance doesn’t square
very well with that gorgeous hotel.
Probably the detective had never seen
anything just like me there before.
No wonder he was puzzled!
I laughed!
I still laugh when girls tell me
what a terrible time they have being
pursued by men. It’s their own fault
most times, if they are.
Meat Consumption Off,

I stopped and turned squarely to
ward him.
“You have made a mistake,” I said
in an ordinary tone, feeling that if
I took a “How dare you” attitude he
would only laugh and go on talking.
“I do not wish to be annoyed. Please
go." . \ ,
He stared back at me for an in

off his hat awkwardly and walked
quickly away with a sheepish grin. I

That was the only episode of the

Another % thing happened, though,
that was kind of funny.

Carmichael aaid, “but a large part
