Over the coffee cups at the breakfast table. Margaret “Our Mutual Girl” admired the work of Cartoonist Briggs in the New York Tribune. Turning a page she laughed heartily over the humorous column, “The Conning Tower,” at the bottom of which she saw the initials “F.P.A.” “Why, I know Mr. Briggs and Franklin P. Adams who signs himself F.P.A.” said “Our Mutual Girl’s” aunt. “I’ll take you down to their office.” So Margaret was ushered into the office of the two famous New York newspaper men. As she chatted with them Cartoonist Briggs drew a picture of her. Margaret watched the work with interest. When Briggs had finished, he presented her the picture with a bow. From there “Our Mutual Girl” went to Castle House, which is run by Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle, the country’s most famous exponents of modern dances. The Castles are recognized as the most graceful and expert instructors in New York, and are co-authors of a pretentious book on the newest dances. At Castle House “Our Mutual Girl” met Mr. and Mrs. Castle, and was instructed by Mr. Castle himself in the tango, hesitation, one-step and maxixe. That night when she returned home after the opera, “Our Mutual Girl” found a burglar in her room. Brave little country girl that she was, she did not scream, but dispelled the intruder’s suspicions and drew from him the story of his life. He had become a thief to support his sister to keep her from the evils of the city, especially the East Side dance halls. The next night Margaret and the burglar went to the dance hall he named. There they found the sister. “Our Mutual Girl” quickly led her out and took her home. Then “Our Mutual Girl” showed the sister the error of her ways and promised to help her to a fresh start in life.
