Jean was property mistress and held the key | to the wardrobe that contained them. “If Mrs. Holden had not been| abroad when we gave “Nancy's English Cousin,” this little stunt might have been impossible,” mus- ed Jean as, the following day, she folded and ‘patked the smarb. lit- tle serge she ahd worn in the third act. Three changes there had been, noted vrespectively in the stage dlrections as “a one-piece gerge,” “a simple party frock,” and | “a striking outdoor costume.” Jean took all three. But the following morning 1t the gay, holly-decked breakfast table Mrs. Holden unsuspectingly | turned Jean's happiness to ashes, “My brother, Jean, who came | after you had gone upstairs last night. Why, you know each oth- er” “Of course, we know each other” smiled a singularly attractive young man. “I coached the play in which .Miss Gray played a demure little English girl—and well do I remember her in the part.” Yes, it seemed that Cary Endi- cott, who had made “Nancy's Eng- lish Cousin” the success- it had been, was Mrs. Holden's" brother. On one of the very last days|: of vacation the crowd set out on’ snowshoes across the hills. Cary had managed matters so that he and Jean lagged far behind the others. Suddenly, in a snowy but sheltered hollow, as the rest top- ped a distant summit and disap- peared, Cary turned right about face and held out his arms, “Jean, darling, will you be my wife?” Jean flushed furiously. “I—oh— why, how can you—after—after these clothes?” Assistant Professor Endicott’s ., face expressed nothing beyond utter mystification. Then he shook his head. I'm afraid—maybe I'm dense, but—" And Jean had to explain, her slim hands clenching themselves within the odd little English muff which was part of her “striking outdoor costume.” When she had !lnlshed Cary |, just stood for a moment regard- ing her ever so gently, ever so ten- gderly. Then, “Didn’t you know, you funny girl, that men can live with clothes year in and year out and never notice them? It's the p3ople who wear them that count.” And happy Jean, snuggling close in his arms, knew nw. he had spoken the truth. | g satirical. rom materials as well as design.
