And then he walked in to speak to the journalists,, smoothing' his girlishly-bobbed hair and com- plaining that the wind had pro- bably spoiled the photograph taken outside. His interview was most pathetic. Jackie is an undersized little boy, with a very pale sickly complexion, and a sore under the right side of his mouth.
He has girlish features and rather heavy blue eyes, which light up now and again in a very attractive manner. He was dress ed in a sailor suit, tight-fitting round the waist, with a little blue silk handkerchief and patent leather shoes. He took a seat by the window and "Poppa"-Mr. -Coogan, senior, an attractively dressed man in a brown suit and a college" tie-proceeded to direct the conversation.
From the window, Jackie could see a number of schoolboys.
'Ask who those boys are with blue hats?" said Poppa.
"Who are those boys with red hats?" said Jackie.
"Jackie has seen so much colour. to-day, sald Poppa hurriedly, "that he's got a bit mixed." Jackie was told they schoolboys.
