The newspaper girl couldn't see} why certain types of business women should be continually linked up with a certain type of transient romance. The hunch had come.fgom her man- sensation, She had been assigned to ask stenographers, show girls, woman physicians and nurses what they thought about It, And she appealed t me as a girl who had never been engaged! Motherdear rather liked the stunt Fortunately, she could give the girl reported a Victorian background upon which to project her modern pen picture, In Motherdear's girlhood, the cir cus riders were almost the only ladies who enjoyed spiced publicity And Motherdear remembered how her circuses had been spoiled forever by the hint that the lovely ladies in fluffy tarlatan skirts were not al movie artists, AND I'LL GET BY STANLEY OF ALL THE BOWEHEADS, ' YOU GET THE GOLD MEDAL: You KNOW WHAT'S IN THAT CLOSET ! - EVERETT TRUE BY BLOSSER \ \ TE HAD A WONDERFUC Time FINDING YouR PLace !
