Oh yes! I’m going to my grandmother’s" “Why you are not going to walk from our city to Denver?" asked Jean “That’s a long way for a walk" “Oh I know but I am gohlg to catch the car and go uptown to meet father and mother and then we are going to get a train and go that way" By this time Maurlne felt pretty silly ahd she could tell that Jean didn’t believe a word that she said Finally she told Jean the story “Why Maurlne you wouldn’t run way from your lovely home?” she asked “Why don’t you start doing things around the house and get points for It when you report It to the Hobby Club of the Tribune Junior? It would be fun for you I do it all the time and I’d love to do things around such a lovely home as you hive" Maurlne decided that Jean was right and from that time on they were close friends and both girls found it fpn to discuss the work they had done during the day when they met KNIGHT CONSTANT RUTH ELOISE WEST age 11 Salt Lake City MARCH m joan!s Dog Rusty Poppy NEW SPRING CURTAINS Here Are the Patterns for Making the Unusually Attractive Window Drapes with Quilted Valance Which Are Pictured in the Adjoining Sketch mm?
