June and July are as happy as larks—or they would be if other people
would let them alone.
June Is dark and full of life, and full of love. too. July is blonde and
light-hearted and warm-hearted and June loves July and July loves June.
but there’s a little spiteful, jealous person who is
always taking the joy out of life for June and July.
Oh, of course, that isn’t the real name of either
of them, it's just a kind of friendly joke—they are
so young and so hopeful, and they make money
enough to be comfortable and they haven't a thing
in the world to worry over—not a thing, except when
little Mrs. Spite comes to spend the evening.
Little Mrs. Spite is young, herself, and there's
nothing really bad about her, but she can make
more trouble with that tongue of her s!
I heard her the other evening—
-Where’s July?” she said, throwing back her
smart little coat and settling down for a good gossip.
“Oh. of course, he's busy evenings isn't he? I
forgot about that. Is it every ei'ening? How per
fectly awful, what in the world do you da with your
W1N1FRED BUCK self?
“What time does he get through?—Oh. is that
so? Don’t you worry about him?—Men are so queer—even the best of
them. One o’clock in the morning—he doesn't work that la , does he’
“Well. I think you are awfully;
sweet to be so good-natured about
it.
“Have you seen anything of that
blond woman lately—the one July i
used to like, you remember?
"I hear she's back in town. Jim
said he saw her quite late. oh.(
about one o'clock in the morning,
oh. no. of course not, why I would
not tell you such a thing as that
even if it was true.
“I believe in minding my own
business.
“Have you heard about Josie and
her husband—you know how crazy
she was about him. and we all
thought he was crazy about her and
all the time what do you think—he
was having an affair with that hor
rid little widow that pretended to
be a friend of Josie's. She'd tele
phone over and say she was lone
some and Josie would say. ’We are
going to be home tonight, come
over and have dinner with us; and
husband would take the widow
home—and that was that, and Josie
found out all about it from a wom
an who didn't Ike to see another
woman fooled. Josie is getting a
