Mr. Carver said she did. "i can‘t

“I have an idea she'll settle down."
Morton told him. "She'll dad some-

her and she‘ll drop this sort of thing.
I hope so. anyway."
Mr. Carver was getting up. but
Morton motioned to him to be seated.
“Maybe you're to blame. too. Car-

thing to amuse her—take her around
places?"
The little man thought If over. “i
take her every place she tells me
to." he said.
“That isn't‘anough." Morton said.
"Suppose you make a great to-do
about taking her to dances. and out
to dinner. and to the theater. and
on trips to New‘ York. and
when you get her there. take
her to a lot of jazz places where
she'll oeo‘o‘mo excitement—and see
