PESPfTE DELICATE COyjHTJOW Papa Was a Man to Make PHEEBIE Dreams Come True By TOM' CAI I. FIELD fcteff There an ice cream store now the comer of Fifth and Colum- ealls their house in Waco as a big two story white structure with a white picket fence around it. She thinking about the corner of Fffth and oium that wat but whore Corinne Griffith the ttar brick with an Iron movies 50 to 60 the Gr)((in, ago. If it had been there when she was a tiny girl there is no her lather. Jack Griffin, would have bought it for and barrel, if she wanted it.

He bought her a circus one time. Her father seems to have been a man who liked to make breams come true for children. What child wanted to own a circus, or an Ice cream store? She was Corinne Griffin then, she became Corinne Griffith when ghe went Into the movies, and lived for awhile, anyway. But Dr Colgin remembers that they also lived in a house of their own, near Twelfth and Washington, he thinks. He remembers and some other boys went calling on Gussie at that house.

He doein remember a lot about it, but it sticks in his mind it was a white house with a white picket fence, and apparently the one Mrs. Marshall is talking about. Mrs. Marshall says in her book that her mother, whose name movies, mm Mr, George Preston Ambolyn Ghio before her markers hall, wife of the owner oi the riage was small braying for tha J'Eu; March 6 bv Houghton Mifflin, is named Delicate and is about her life Waco. She says she lived here until she was about seven years old.

Almanac Says Texarkana She leaves ihe impression she was born in Waco, but the World Almanac says it was Texarlkana. She gives no dates, but the best guess, from what she tells, from memories of old-timers who knew the Griffins, and from the files or old papers, is she is a period between 189j and 1900. A is what her playing for the terpe She must mean the Euterpean Club, still in existence. It was established by the late Mrs Grace Hale about the time the Griffins were living here, but the records of the early memberships are not available. Refer- to the Euterpean Club are found in old newspapers of Condition Delicate It seems that on the day papa bought the circus the was in a very delicate condition that day) Mama was playing in one of these concerts, and the governor and the mayor were both there.

Mavbe your soldier has been counting the seconds and minutes and hours, and maybe he hocked watch to spend his leave with you, Pheeb. And if you help make it a good one, you ought to be spanked. Take the matter of finances, for instance.

You pay his hotel bill. But you SHOULD set him up with all the free meals you can finagle at your family friend or your apartment. If you buy game or theater tickets before he comes, and then tell him they were comps, only a pmk fib. Nobody will blame you. Furthermore, Pheeb, leave Dick, Harry, and Tom out of the talk.
