The Sidewalks of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. One of man's chief indoor sports is Joining something. As a boy he at- taches himself to a gang. As a college youth he joins a fraternity and buys a fraternity pin, which is eventually confiscated by a girl and ultimately lost. As the vouth attains maturity. he affiliates with civic, social and com- mercial organizations. If he lives in a small rural community. he foins the volunteer fire department and buys a uniform hat. He is forever contributing to some sort of club or fraternity. For example, in the City of Washing- ton alone. there are 8 organized clubs. Among them are a chess club. a motor club, gun club. seversl boat clubs, golf clubs, political clubs and er club. There are Ladies’ Tuesday Morning Clubs and Friday Afternoon Clubs, but they are not in- cluded in the foregoing. This would scem to indicate that a large part of our citizenry is gregartous.

Caroline | was a very bright child and she was | going to let everybody in the neighbor- | hood, especially the mothers who | thought their children very very bright know what a truly speedy child looked | like. Caroline must be graduated be-| fore any of them. She was going to be the youngest graduate that ever left Old Number Ten. | “Caroline, how old are you at home?" “Pive." “Right. How old are you at school?” | “8ix and over.” “Right, now remember. girls like you must not forget how to| | tell their ages. You're 5 at home, but | {you're 6 in school. If you aren't 6 they won't let you into the first grade. You will have to go to kindergarten with the bables. ‘The first grade filed into the class-| room and Miss Jennie looked them over | with a practiced eye. All of them looked fit and hearty and quite at home, | except one little girl who didn't seem to fit at all. She hadn't hung up her coat, she didn’t fall into the traflic line from wardrobe to bencen, she didn't re- member her seat, but crowded into |that of a pudgy little neighbor, who promptly shoved her off, whereupon she | wept coplously. | When Miss Jennie handed her a crayon and a sheet of perfectly lovely | | yellow plrr the child cried and sald, “I don't know what to do.” When it was story-telling time she yawned and snuggled down in a little heap and went to sleep. She had to leave the Toom four times in the sesston. By the end of the week she was a distressed, weary, tearful child who wanted only | to go home and get away from her troubles. “How old are you, dear?” asked Miss Jennie, “P—8ix." “M—m, 8ix? kindergarten?"” “No, Miss Jennle. I'm not a baby." “Of course not. You're quite & big girl. How old are you?" “At home I'm 5, but 1 school I'm 6." “I see. Well, you're a very good little girl and I'm sorry you are tired. You take this picture book and read it until the bell rings." After school Miss Jennle called on Caroline's mother. ““I'here’s something wrong.” sald the her gravely. “Either your little girl is very backward or we have the wrong dafe of birth for her i.e is a whole year or so behind the other children, mentally and physically. Something 15 wrong.” “Oh there's nothing wrong with Caro- lne, Miss Jennle. She Is a very bright child. Very bright. If vou just have & little patlence she will show you. She's the brightest child on the block. Everybody will tell you." “Too bad." sald the tencher thought- fully. “We'll call In the psychologist and have her examined to see where the trouble lles.

Don't try to high hat me out of a date tonight. You know me better than that. ... What's on your mind?" “I don't know what you're talking about,” Jean stated promptly. “I'm not angry in the least. Just because 1 don't want to see you s no sign that I'm upset, s 1t? Maybe it shows I'm coming to my senses.” “Oh, for heaven's sake. Jean, snap out of 1t! Or at least tell me what's on your immortal soul. I can tell darn well you're angry about something.” “If you don't know what's the matter with me, you ought to!" flared Jean “If you haven't a spark of guilt, then you're too hardened to live!" And she sI-mmed down the receiver. She had done her bit. Jack scratched his head and gazed ruefully at the instrument before him, then hung up on his end with a bang and reflected wearily that all women were a snare and a delusion anyway. He made one or two perfectly noble, perfectly. useless attempts to find out what he must apologize for, but Jean's stony sflence and reproachful ey dldn't help much. She wouldnt ex- plain, rrring over and over again that he ought to know darned well what was the matter. He got rather tired of peing after a while and went away. an felt awfully sorry for herself She wept quarts over the affalr because, |of course, she was simply crazy about |Jack or she would never have made such a perfect fool of herself in the first place, You see, on the night before all this started Jack and Jean had been out on a party with a lot of other young peo- ple, and on the way home Jack had sat on the front seat of the car flirting rather openly with pretty Muriel, who, being the town flirt anyway, always did her best, no matter who the man might be. Jean had watched from the back seat and grown steadily angrier. So that the next day she had her {little speech all ready to deliver. She'd kept it on fce all night. And, of course, the silly little idiot wouldn't give the boy friend an inkling of the trouble was. If she had, the tragedy would have been cleared up in a few seconds.
