L - _ _ — ....... .____ TR YING TO HIDE FAULT OFTEN ADVERTISES IT Famous Writer Grieves with This Tired Young Miss Who A Tried So Hard to Keep Others from Noticing Her Unmatched Shoes—and Failed! How does the old nursery rhyme go— • Diddle-diddle-dumpling. my son John "Went to bed with his trousers on, "One shoe off, one shoe on. "Diddle-diddle-dumpling. my son John " There she stood, the tired-lookmg shop girl, hanging on to a strap in the crowded street car staring out of the window. And what do you think? On one foot she had a perfectly good black shoe —but on the other was a bright, tan one. I was looking at her feet rather idly, perhaps wondering a bit to myself what was the matter with one of her feet that she had to wear an old shoe—but not thinking very much about it one way ar the other. And then I looked at her face—suddenly red be zan to creep up her neck, onto her face and then her whole face and neck were blushing furiouslv • What in the world.” I thought—and then I fol lowed her gaze and she had apparently suddenly iiscovered her mismatched shoes. She began to squirm—trying to hide the tan I wuUFRED BLACK oot—“Oh. oh.” I thought, ‘ nothing specially wrong with the foot—just forgot to change her shoes before she left the store, probably. And finally there was a vacant seat and the poor girl sank into it, lulckly hiding the tan shoe under the seat. isnt is queer now- Knowledge can: be so upsetting? Until she remem bered the mismatched shoes, the girl had stood there calmly enough and with a smooth, serene expres sion But as soon as she discovered It. she became embarrassed, uncom fortable and very ill at ease. And when It was time for her to leave the car, it was positively pain ful to see her drag the poor old tan shod foot back of her—probably three-fourths of the people on the car wouldn't have noticed it at all. if she had not attracted attention by trying to hide her foot—but as It was. everyone noticing her flam ing face and awkward walk, natur ally looked to see the cause of It— and there was a broad grin on every face, to the increased shame of the poor girl. But isn't this true with people we know? We meet a person and like her immensely, the wav she acts and her general personality. And then one day we discover something about her—perhaps a characteristic we had not suspected before, but something tells us about it—and while, as far as we are con cerned she is the same identical girl, we begin not to like her so well— Why is it? Has she changed, or have we? I'd like to hear what you think ^^sbout it. ■ w* -. ^ Santa Margarita PRESENT OPERETTA The elementary grades of the Banta Margarita school gave a splendid rendition of a revised edi tion of the Operetta.
