52 "That's nothin'! Amarilly's always draggin' somethin' home."

53 ".... last time it was a bulldog that went mad an' bit Flamingus."

54 "How can I repay you for your kindness?"

55 "... shure, an' ye could give me yer washin'."

56 "... can't a swell guy come up here without you askin' for his dirty shirts?"

57 On the following Monday morning Amarilly pays her first visit to Gordon Phillips' studio.

58 "What a swell scrap there must a' been around here to bust up all this china!"

59 "Don't breathe it to a soul, Mrs. Finnegan, but Amarilly met a dude last night. She's afther his washin'!"

60 "There ain't this much dirt in all Clothes Line Alley."

61 "That isn't dirt - it's atmosphere! And it cost my Aunt about ten thousand dollars!"

62 "WOW!!"

63 "Don't breathe it to a soul .... but Amarilly's gettin' gay with a dude!"

64 "You ain't offerin' me seven plunks a week just for scrubbin' up this place?"

65 "You heard what he called ye? Don't come home 'til he takes it back."

66 "I can lick any kid in the alley - but I can't lick a goat!"

67 ".... ain't it too bad, Terry, that Amarilly's throwed you over!"

68 "I ain't blamin' you, Amarilly .... I don't stack up against no - Matinay Idol."

69 "You ain't tyin' the can to me, are you, Terry?"

70 "Only thirteen more pay- ments - an' then it was ours .... now I guess you wants it for another girl."

71 "- I'm through with dames!"

72 Every month, at the home of Mrs. Phillips there meets "The Society for the Betterment of Humanity".

73 "The Alley's quaranteened with scarlet fever. Last night me an' the kids bunked in the Park."

74 "Kindness is my Aunt's hobby. I'll see if she can't find a place for you."

75 " - couldn't you find some unoccupied room in the house for this child?"

76 "I'd rather stay here an' go on with the scrubbin'. Gran'ma scrubbed ... Ma scrubs ...."

77 ".... an' I LIKES scrubbin'!!"

78 The "Society" - like many philanthropists, enjoys charity because it reflects glory upon the giver.

79 "... perhaps we can use the little girl my nephew is bringing here, as one of our experiments."

80 "What an interesting specimen!"

81 "Another crack like that - an' I'll crown her!"

82 "Let us give her every opportunity for mental progression. The experi- ment will be psychological."

83 "That dame must 'o swallowed the diction- ary!"

84 Mrs. Phillips, to demon- strate her theory that environment makes the woman, plans to introduce Amarilly as a social equal.

85 "I don't want to be no lady - I want to go home!"

86   Two weeks later. Mrs. Phillips is ready to believe that charity should begin at home - and end there.

87 "I'm tryin' so hard to make good - for Mrs. Phillips."

88 "I never knowed what a swell place Clothes Line Alley was, 'til they took me away from there. Guess - 'cause it's home."

89 Society always enjoys - "something different". Now exhibit A - is Amarilly.

90 " - - - no use for the bloomin' doll, but I'll offer twenty dollars for a kiss!"

91 " - - - thirty dollars!"

92 " - - - thirty-five!"

93 " - - fifty!"

94 " - - one hundred!"

95 " - - one hundred and fifty!"

96 And so - out of the acorn - there grows the mighty oak.

97 "How could you ever care for the likes of me?"

98 "You were right, Terry, not to go into that place of evil. There are no heart- aches that can justify a man losing his self respect."

99 "Would you disgrace your family name and destroy your social position - by such a marriage?"

100 Mrs. Phillips believes, wisely, that Ridicule is the antidote of Romance.

101 "I have asked your mother to come to our tea this afternoon."

102 "Timmy Murphy ..... so this where ye are workin'!"

103 "Gee, Ma - you're all dressed up like a broken arm."

104 "Meet Bud an' Bo - the near twins."

105 "Meet Milt an' Flamingus. Only been licked onct - an' that by the Kelly Gang."

106 " - - an' pipe the Pride of Clothes Line Alley!"

107 And there follows the Battle of Iconoclasts - Round one!

108 "You ought to see my mother dance!"

109 "Some stepper - my Ma - an' she ain't had a lesson!"

110 Round two!

111 "Wait 'til I springs this on the Finnegans!"

112 "I am sorry, Gordon, that you should be so humiliated."

113 Round three!

114 "Shure, he's a foine bye, but he's got the bit o' a cold."

115 "So has my poor little Oswald."

116 "Oh! You've got a little bye, too?"

117 "I don't know if enny of youse ever took in washin' - but my - ain't the soap high!"

118 "How dare that woman insult me by speaking of my past?"

119 "I'm sorry my poor Ma hurt the lady's feelin's. She didn't mean it -"

120 "Please forgive her ..... she's just - old fashioned."

121 "My dears, this is our reward for trying to raise the unfortunates of the slums to a higher social plane."

122 "Cheer up, Ma ..... it'll all come out in the wash!"

123 But for every tear, there is a laugh in Irish hearts.

124 "What's the matter, Amarilly. Did the Boiled Shirt croak?"

125 "That's right .... strike me!"

126 "Ma's goin' to the Murphy weddin' tonight. Come on over for supper?"

127 "Just try an' keep me from comin'!"

128 "Remember that kiss I promised you?"

129 "Well - I've still got it!"

130 A direct route to any man's heart.

131 "I am sorry for what happened this after- noon."

132 "If you will only give me a chance to educate you - to take you away from - all this."

133 "I'm sorry, Mr. Gordon, but I knows now that you can't mix ice-cream an' -"

134 " - pickles!"

135 "Gwan, Terry - quit your kiddin'."

136 The drama ended - we approach the eternal triangle - boy, girl, love.

137 "When you're well - we've a fine job for you - at the City Hall."

138 The epilogue. Five years later!!!

139 " - s'matter, Pop?"
