FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1919. MISS PERVERSITY By JUNE JOHNSON, GET OUR PRICES ON SALE BILLS “Hub I Who ever beard of a girl keeping a promise? Break It five min­ utes after they mnka It" Thus In scornful tones spoke Johnnie Lewis, VMtb all the wisdom of his seventeen summers. “ Oh, Is that so?" With a snap of her blue eyes, Georgina Lewis spoke with the superiority o f an older sister. “ What about me?” Johnnie grinned. . “Oh, you’d keep » simple one ” he taunted, “hut a good stiff promise—you’d be like all the rest." - , - The girl Hushed. “Listen, .Johnnie," she commanded, “you’re going tp take that remark back before .you sleep ft wink tonight, you hear? Now give me a good’ stiff- dare that I can barry out before tomorrow. Go ahead and think o f somethingH ' Johnnie stared, then, peeing hip sis* ter meant It, racked his brain. Finally a.whoop gave assurance of his success. “I’ve got it," he cried; “ but It’s a stiff ope, sis, You're going to that dancejto- night at the White’s, While, you're there 1 dare you to contradict every­ thing that’s said'to you that demands an answer. I f you Carry that out TU swallow my words add take you to a matinee next Friday to square It If you don’t—you’ll ,eat humble, pie. Do you hear?" Did she hear?' The dance that she had talked about for weeks l The dance which was the big event o f the season 1 The tears came to Georgina’s eyes. •Then she sat up straight Johnnie had “dared" her. It was her own fau lt ‘Tt’s a go* Johnnie,", she replied quiet­ ly at last. c That evening a disconsolate Georg­ ina, bavfng been forsaken by her faith­ less brother,’ settled down Ip. a corner prepared for a lonely evening, . Suddenly Alice Wens, a gushing young miss, came buttering up .. “ Oh, Georgina," she beamed* “I’ve been look­ ing for you. Turner is just back from France, you know, and -the poor boy Is so bored. Be can’t dance and, dearie, Johnnie told* me you weren’t dancing tonight, so I thought It was an^ldeat chance to Introduce you to Turner.” Thus It' waai that Turner Wall®, bored and lonely, saw*his sister bearing down upon him leading n pretty- girl. “-PteaSed to meet you," murmured, the lieutenant when Alice Introduced the two. ' He had met many young ladle* since he arrived, but they had all forsaken him’ fo r the more alluring dances. And now the lieutenant received the beginning o f a series’ o f shocks.' For; Georgina, a do-or-dle expression on her face, was stammering: “No. you'aren't pleased to meet me." The lieutenant was startled, to say the leash He gasped and twisted un­ easily In his chair. Was his hew ac­ quaintance a mind reader? To say that Georgina was miserable? was only mildly expressing It., She had henrd o f this young officer, who had distinguished himself more than once “over there." And now that she was so (fortunate ns to secufre an Introduc­ tion to him she had to contradict ev­ erything he said. Alice, with her brother safely en­ sconced with Georgina, hurried off to the dance, leaving the two alone. “Have you met Professor Briggs yet?" inquired Turner by way o f start­ ing a conversation, “He’ B very • bril­ liant, isn't ho?" A deep flush overspread Georgina’s face—then, “No, I don't think so." The lieutenant's .eyebrows went up a fraction o f an Inch. Then hastily changing the subject, “ Awfully catchy piece they’re playing Just now, Isn't It?” Johnnie’s .suffering sister, looking wildly around for an escape—there was none. “It Isn't catchy," plucking nerv­ ously at her fan, “It's awfully s-slow and stupid, Turner racked his head for a safer topic. This young lady, he mused, had a rather contradictory nature. Well, he'd try a topic of local inter­ est. “I see by the paper," he ventured, “ the Bed Cross In this town is going to hold a benefit for blind Soldiers. Bully Idea, isn’t it?" This time there was no hesitation on Georgina's part, I f she had tcLgontra- dlct aho had to. "No," was the prompt reply, “ it Isn’t a good Idea. Perfectly foolish" And then the lieutenant concealed •his astonishment no longer. He stared, then, without warping, burst Into a hearty laugh, and despite herself Geor- *ghia followed suit, “Come, fess up," said the lieutenant finally; "you don't" look like a pessi­ mist—-let me share in the. mystery." Georgina dropped her eyes before the isoidler's steady gaze as she stammered, *T can’t explnln just now, because— please don’t ask me, It’s too silly—you wouldn’t understand.” . But Turner did understand before the evening was over, due to a secret interview with Jdlinnle. That night, when the lieutenant bid good-night to Georgina at her own door, he said, with a boyish grih: “You’ve earned that matinee, Miss Per­ versity, and earned it well. By the way, would you mind if I happened to be at that matinee next Friday—in the sttme box with a certain young lady who can stick to a ’dare?’ “ And then Georgina shorted how fem­ inine she could be ns she answered Softly; “Yes, 1 would mind very much —if you weren’t there." Then with a bubbling laugh she was gone. (Copyright, 1M». b t Ih* NtcClut* N*w*. * paper gyndloata.) PS y, E, Short of Trfly and <X A.
