THE MOVING PICTURE GIRLS
AT ROCKY RANCH
CHAPTER I THE SPY
"Well, Ruth, aren't you almost ready?" "Just a moment, Alice. I can't seem to get my collar fastened in the
back. I wish I'd used the old fashioned hooks and eyes instead of those
new snaps." "Oh, I think those snaps are just adorable!" "Oh, Alice DeVere! Using such an extreme expression!" "What expression, Ruth?" "'Adorable!' You sometimes accuse me of using slang, and there you
go " "'Adorable' isn't slang," retorted Alice. "Oh, isn't it though? Since when?" "There you go yourself! You're as bad as I am." "Well, it must be associating with you, then," sighed Ruth. "No, Ruth, it's this moving picture business. It just makes you use
words that mean something, and not those that are merely sign posts.
I'm glad to see that you are getting sensible. But never mind about
that. Are you ready to go to the studio? I'm sure we'll be late." "Oh, please help me with this collar. I wish I'd made this waist with
the new low cut effect. Not too low, of course," Ruth added hastily, as
she caught a surprised glance from her sister. Two girls were in a room about which were strewn many articles of
feminine adornment. Yet it was not an untidy apartment. True, dresser
drawers did yawn and disclose their contents, and closet doors gaped at
one, showing a collection of shoes and skirts. But then the occupants of
the room might have been forgiven, for they were in haste to keep an
appointment. "There, Ruth," finally exclaimed the younger of the two girls yet she
was not so much younger not more than two years. "I think your collar
is perfectly sweet." "It's good of you to say so. You know I got it at that little French
shop around the corner, but sewed some of that Mexican drawn lace on to
make it a bit higher. Now I'm sorry I did, for I had to put in those
snap fasteners instead of hooks. And if you don't get them to fit
exactly they come loose. It's like when the film doesn't come right on
the screen, and the piano player sounds a discord to call the
operator's attention to it." "You've hit it, sister mine." "Oh, Alice! There you go again. 'Hit it!'" "You'd say 'hit it' at a baseball game," Alice retorted. "Oh, yes, I suppose so. But we're not at one," objected the older girl,
as she finished buttoning her gloves, and took up her parasol, which she
shook out, to make sure that it would open easily when needed... Continue reading book >>
