The Swing of the Pendu- jum, or Virtue Triumphant ‘Our girls are tired of immodesty and Joose-livi They are going to return to the sweet womanliness of their grand- mothers !"—Interview with an optimistic erangelist. EEP down in her heart of hearts, Delicia was a good girl. She had been caught in the terrible mad whirl- pool of j living; she had kissed, she had sat out dances, she had drunk rasp- terry cordial, but as we just stated (see sbore) deep down, ete., she was a good girl....“I can’t go on like this,” she parmured, “smoking and drinking, nistering, for if I do I shall surely rue it! The Victorians were right; from ow on, I shall live a Clean Life.” “Mr. Steve Grainery,” announced the trim maid. “Well, well, Delish,” smiled Steve, the dark pouches under his eyes crin- Ling merrily. “How's the head to-day? Pretty bad, is it, baby “Baby?” queried Delicia, a puzzled light in her newly innocent eyes. “What isa baby?...Oh, I know——” a slow, painful blush suffused her features— “| prefer not to mention such subjects, Mr. Grainery. It is not nice.” Steve leaned against some furniture, and gasped, “It certainly must have been worse stuff than I got—I’m all right this morning! Why don’t you take a Turkish bath? You'll be your old sweet self after you've been steamed all pink.” Delicia hid her flaming face, shud- dering. Then her pure womanly spirit asserted itself{—her head came up, her eres flashed fire. “Sir!” she said. ‘My father would be uncontrollable with rage did he but know that you had addressed me thus! He would give you a good kick in the pants!...1 me, sir! Begone!” “My God!" moaned Steve, as he dosed the door and tip-toed awa “My God, he swore!” Delicia breathed—and_ fainted. When she recovered consciousness she was in her own little bed and her maid was feeding her smelling salts. “I have regained my womanliness,” vas her first happy thought. “Civiliza- tion is vindicated!...I shall endeavor to forget the past. Some day I shall narry a desirable young man—” here she blushed prettily—‘‘and, who knows, pethaps when we have been married a suitable length of time, the music of little voices may ring through these old halls, At any rate, I am firmly re- slved that, with the help of Heaven and the Campfire Girls, I shall grow into one hell of a fine woman!” Heman Fay, Jr. 'sComing—Nezt Week—the NEW LIFE!
