Their conversation was so audible that many passengers listened. It was mainly about several “guys” thtey were acquainted with who “beat” •the draft Then their talk turned to tiuMr own sex. “Gee, did yer hear “bout Pearl?” asked one. "Naw, what’s Tear! , doin’ now?” from the other. “Why, whadye think of the nerve of

her. She sez she’s posin’ for a livin’.” “Posin’, huh,” and the second shifted her wad of chewing gum in disbelief. “An’ what’s she posin' fer? Some ‘ad’ that takes in soap powder for housecleanin’ purposes, I suppose.” And the train stopped the flow of conversation.
