DAILY SHORT STOR' YOU see, she was the kind of girl who said “Oh, deab me!’ and fluffed up her blondined curls at the same time. There she was, looking at me con- d escendingly through misty smoke rings and talking trivialities in a Mississippi ac- cent that had been acquired in six weeks down South. It made me hop- ping mad! For there was Hank, hanging on every one of her words with an as- inine expression about his mouth— the chump! “Oh, well,” I thought, “Mr. Hen- Going in for a dizzy blond. purse and gloves with the other.

And now he was goifg | in for a dizzy blond. As I said be- | fore, it made me mad! Clara had changed her name along with the color of her hair, and some- how the “Clarissa” she had assumed fitted everything. She'd gone as a church delegate down South to a convention, got a | job and decided to stay there. Il bet she wasn't so ritzy down there. * k¥ X HANK had come back to Washing- ton after she left.” He had not | seen her since the time she fell in the creek when our Sunday school class }yad gone on a picnic 15 years before. guess he'd forgotten how she looked | When she stood up with the brackish | water 4ripping off her pigtails and her mouth wide open so you could see | that two of her front teeth were missing When Hank said he had to be get- ting along, Clarissa jumped up and said, “Oh, deah!

He is a chawmin’ | bring the rest back tomorrow.” “Thanks, Goldy, you dear.” The one I chose combined the slink- iness of Cleopatra, the mystery of Garbo, the beauty of Helen, the sophistication of Kay Francis, and it was a wow! Mom gave one look at it and said, “Sally, you can't wear that.” “But, mom,” I wailed, “you do like Hank, don't you? If I don’'t do some- thing drastic we're going to lose you £ .52 son-in-law.” & miv OM reflected. She likes Hank pretty well. And when dad said, “I think the gal looks stunning my- self,” mom relented Hank doesn't care for Bob, so I asked Bob how he'd like to take me to the dance. Everything was agree- | able to him and after a long hour of beautification I felt I even did the dres: justice. ‘We'd just gone around the floor once when I spied Hank cutting in on Clarissa. Thank goodness my intuition hadn't | failed me! True to my hopes and ex- | pectations, there she was in a pale pink organdy dress with a white gar- denia in her hair looking very demure and sixteenish. “Hello,” I smiled at them as we all met at the corner. Hank recognized my voice before he turned, and I saw the excuse and ex- planation he was formulating, freeze into surprise, chagrin, admiration and [ jealousy, successively. It was quite a moment. “See you later,” I said noncha- lantly. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. evening, and could take scarcely 12 steps without being cut in on. * ok ok X CLARISSA pouted. Hank and she danced five dances in succession before Bob took her off his hands. “Where'd you get that dress?” hissed my fiance in our eight steps we man- aged. “Tell you later,” I called over my shoulder as another stag cut in. “I'm taking you home,” Hank as- serted, pushing me toward the door the next time. “No, I'm not going yet—Bob's tak- ing me after the party's over—we're going to Jake's place for breakfast.” At noon mom pulled the window Don’t Discar Damaged Hose PER INCH down and shook me. She handed me the telephone. “Sally, I guess you'd better answer. It's Hank. He's called 10 times al- ready this morning.” “Oh, deah!” I answered his ques- tion, “Ah you sauh, deah, you won't be too busy aftah dinnah?” “Sally,” he snapped, “I'm a sap— but don’t rub it in!"
