KATH LIEN NORRIS
Tragic Interlude
TWENTY YEARS ago a certain
girl went off on a motor trip
with a college friend; she was
19, the boy-friend was 22. Both
were living on money sent by
self-denying and hardworking par
ents, month after month, so that
the girl and boy might acquire a
real education, culture and the
benefits of social contacts in a
wider world.
The motor trip lasted five days.
For those five days, and they
weren’t by any means days of un
clouded happiness, the girl threw
away her honor. It seemed fun to
register as Mr. and Mrs.; it seemed
fun to spend his last sl9 of allow
ance and the $lO she had borrowed
from a sorority sister on the de
lights of little wayside meals and
overnights at the picturesque mo
tels of Southern California. A “mo
tel” is an informal one^story hostel
ry, and at many of them guests are
not too closely questioned as to age
or relationship.
This girl was a sensitive, well
bred, proud young thing, who
came to me a few months after this
brief interval ended, half-mad with
self-contempt and shame. No, she
was not going to have a baby; the
escapade hadn’t left that scar.
Tortured with Remorse
But she was writhing under the
burning misery of knowledge far
too old for her 19 years. Knowledge
that the boy hadn’t taken the affair
seriously at all. Knowledge that
what she had thought a generous
surender had only been a cheap
yielding to his casual importunity.
Knowledge that many of her col
lege associates suspected what had
occurred, and the nicest of them
couldn't help showing that they
didn’t like it —or her.
When a telegram came from a
• . . taking another girl about . . ,

long since-shown his complete in
difference and was taking another
girl about. Our ’irl —call her Anne
—felt a deepened shame when she
realized that he was the sort of
boy who might under certain cir
cumstances boast of his conquests.
•Well, she went home and became
a domestic angel. She saw her
mother through a long illness, kept
house for an adoring father and
two small brothers, filled to the
brim her obligations as daughter,
sister, friend, and eventually wife
and mother. She married with dig
nity, with position and modest
wealth, and with true love. Her
husband never has had a suspicion
of her early mistake.
Can’t Escape Selves
So what? What's the moral? The
moral lies in Anne’s own heart.
Every cheap, dishonest, vulgar
careless thing we do in youth is
stored away in our consciousness
and in our characters. We can't
escape ourselves, even thbugh we
escape everyone else. Probably the
arrogant boy who made love to her
20 years ago hasn't suffered; he
was made of coarser clay. All col
leges have scores of boys of this
type; unscrupulous, attractive, sure
of themselves and neither know
ing or caring what results from
their love affairs.
But Anne is finely constructed;
she is sensitive to her fingertips.
Her daughters are 16 and 9 now,
and there is a son in between, and
all their lives their mother has
been building their characters with
talk of self-control and purity and
goodness. And in all these years,
back in her own consciousness, has
been the knowledge that some
where in the world there lives a
man who knows just how weak and
gullible she was when she was a
girl.
No man, in the honorable and
consciencious oeginnings of his
business life, likes to remember
that when he was in high school, he
used to slip his hand into the pock
ets of coats hanging up in the
schoolhouse hall, and take what he
found. No man likes to remember
the time he lied flatly—and success
fully!—about cheating in the finals
in his Freshman year.
The chance that got him out of
a disgraceful night-club raid, while
the other fellows had to face the
publicity and scandal of it, isn't
anything to be proud of, in later
life. These ghosts of past follies
and young sins rise to haunt us and
to jar our self-respect and sense of
security in later years.
This is so of all schoolday mis
takes. ■ Untruths that got someone
else into trouble. Small thefts and
forgeries. The abandoning of friends
when one might make a safe es
cape from trouble and leave them
behind. Cruelty to a devoted mother

F Whitey Stops An Epidemic
Whitey Fisher ran into real trou
ble with his baby chicks a couple of
weeks ago. “Bunch of them had
colds,” he told me. “Started running
around like crazy and going into
convulsions.”
Luckily Whitey’s a wide-awake
boy. Without wasting any time, he
isolated the funny-acting chicks,
and sent a couple of them to the
State Veterinarian for a check-up.
Turned out they had Newcastle
Disease. But—because Whitey
was on the ball—the rest of the
flock was saved.
