LOS ANGELES, Feb. 28.—The
Southern California Mermaids, a

Two of the star revelers are Ivy

FUSING GOOD MONEY—-and a

in a little brick house lives
Miss Hitching, in a hall bedroom
—a quaint little figure with gray
hair, dressed In gray, short, full
gown, with heavy gray stockings
and sandals.
"I haven't time to talk," she
said. "There are hundreds of
letters upstairs awaiting me, and
1 have been pestered to death by
people who won't believe 1 have
refused the Ripley estate.
"Why is it so hard to make
people understand there still are
those who will give up money
for principle."
Getting along %s well as she
can on $330 a year, Miss Kltch
ing refused to accept a cent of
$40,000 of the estate of her un
cle, Francis F. Ripley, who died
Nov. 11, 1915.
The courts may decide she is
entitled to the entire $200,000,
but that, to, she spurns.

the -.irls that they go from the
surf to the snow as a lark. They
were !_red to wear ilieir bathing

as anybody lo learn that they
could do so without freezing.
"II is no colder than the surf,"

"And are you happy?"
"Only one thing can make
me unhappy, and that is that

"Poverty — what the
world calls poverty—poof!"

Miss Kitching is one of tho
few perfectly happy women in
this big, unhappy city-
She is living for an ideal, and
the work-a-day world may chase
itself. She has put the Tolstoi.n
philosophy into practice.
"I have no particular use for
money," she said. "I am livina?
