Marie had all the effect of being a pretty girl.

She habitually wore white middies with blue collar and tie, which went well with her clear, pink skin and her hair that just escaped being red.

She knew how to tilt her "beach" hat at the most provocative angle, and she knew just when to let Bud catch a slow, sidelong glance--of the kind that is supposed to set a man's heart to syncopatic behavior.

She did not do it too often.

She did not powder too much, and she had the latest slang at her pink tongue's tip and was yet moderate in her use of it.
Bud did not notice Marie much on the first trip.
