MODERN DOLL WORK OF AF»T

Dentil bailed through the trumpet of
her hands; “Hel-lo, the House! Hello!
Hello-o! !” happy iu the wicked con

piazza, would look up from her rfek-

“Don’t you dee-splse a tomboy girl I
And isn’t this one the very worst ?’’^
Throughout the hot season Denzll
lived mainly to shock and disturb the
prim summer people. They were never
called boarders—their hostess, Widow
Marvin, was quite too refiued for that.
Instead they were paying guests—
paying through the nose for what they
got, plus gentility. As a minister’s
relict. Dame Marvin felt herself en
titled to prices beyond those un-Chris-
ttan, not to say wordly-minded per
sons, would have had the face to ask;
she also fflt that ihe iniluence of the
cloth should lie retroactive in the mat
ter of prices for market stuff," and
service.- Hence—partly—Denzil’s an
tagonism. She herself was fair-mind
ed in all things, also straightforward

For clothes all there ever was for

Denzll giggled. “Mighty 'frald he’ll

“Don’t scripture tell of a Joseph whose

think it’s risky to give « boy that

, “If you persist in such sacrilege I
shall not stay to hear you,” Mrs. Mar
vin said with dignity, turning toward
the piazza. But the paying gueots
stood fast, plying Denzll with ques
tions, dropping inuendos as to the why
and wherefore of the petticooted pro
fessor, hut getting v-Httle for their
pains. Denzil had seen her—no—she
didn’t like her—the cerature had a
beard—at least her. face looked
shaved. Go to iler school? No, thank
you—she had learned to dance before
she was five—as fur the shimmy—
well, it might please some people-
hut she was not of that sort. After
she had ridden off. Mrs. Loton re
flectively: “Wild as she may he Denzll

for giving Sister Marvin that dig about

“I’m glad she is not my daughter,”
Mrs. James commented acidly.

In tlie lull of lute mid-summer the
countryside fell hard for tlie dancing
classes. They ran morning, noon and

candle-light—afterward, it came to be
vVhispered, a motor crowd came fn, and
inade things qufte spectatrulnr. The
late comers were late stayers, but dis-^

from any habitation, also screened by
a thick grove. Tlie professor l\*id In

Voting Bruce was mighty serious
afterward. Denzil hardly got a laugh
out of him all day, though she was up
to “nth'' r power. He left that night,
saying mysteriously: “rii come back
and trouble tilings some more soon."
But nobody thought, anything of the
