"Aw, it's nothing," disclaimed the genius, suddenly scarlet. "I — I just forgot where I was for a minute." "You didn't forget — you remembered," throbbed Miss Gale excitedly. "How did you know all this? Come on, Pierre, cards on the table." M. Boulanger shuffled nervously. "I just hated to see bad workmanship, particularly as I was the best soda jerker in all Indianapolis back in 1925. That's really an art in its way, you know. " "Of course it is, so why be ashamed of it? Oh, Pierre, you idiot, can't you see this makes you all the more real to me, and that I'm prouder of you for having had this past? Believe it or not, that was the best speech you ever made." "VX TOMEN certainly are queer," mumbled W M. Boulanger. "You mean to say that you love me more because I juggled sodas? Then will you — ?" "Ask me again when we get outside," said the radiant Carolyn. "I'm so happy, Pierre, because a girl never wants her future husband to keep secrets from her.

That Gustafsson Girl [ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 43 ] After school hours she helped a friendly barber of the neighborhood by applying lather to unshaven chins, and so earned an occasional krona. Greta isn't ashamed of this trivial episode. In fact, she seems to take considerable pride in this humble start toward breadwinning. By now, Greta Gustafsson had grown into the very opposite of the shy, backward little girl of her school days. For at twelve she had suddenly shot up until she was as tall as she is today! "T WAS big for my age," she says. "I am -*■ truly grateful that I haven't grown since I was twelve, for at that time my size embarrassed me horribly. Everywhere people seemed to be whispering about my awkwardness." But Greta felt insignificant enough the day she asked for a job at the big department store of Paul U. Bergstrom. A hurried clerk just took her name and address, and it was in a dark and unhappy mood that she walked the long way home across Stockholm. But she turned to sunshine when, a few days later, the postman brought her a note requesting her to report for work at the ladies' coats department the next morning! In a few days she was transferred to "ladies' hats." There Greta Gustafsson was on trial for a saleswoman's job, and all sorts of odd assignments fell to her lot. One day the store's advertising manager came into the department. 127 Ina Claire, brilliant Pathe comedienne, ac Imowledged the smartest dressed woman on Stage and Screen 1— Fashioning of the knee eliminates ugly "bagging."
