Besides _their financial worries, 17-year-old Ariel was now be- coming’ more and more of & problem, and Phil was fascinated by “that ter- rible” Lily Cass, whose husband had de- serted her, with three little children to 1l re all in bed, largest thought they had suspected her unjustly. Then Van Murchison, whose famiy owned a chain of flour mills, returned from Yale. He and ad turning of the Stebbins, Phil's of the house. Murchi supper with the Lawrences and then drove out to & Toad house with Gall, where they drank ginger ale and danced. INSTALLMENT VIL AIL'S thoughts had time to go to Van Murchison at intervals during that day and the next day. She began the girl's calendar: “It's only one full day since I saw him—it's only two | th 1l days—it’s only the morning of the third day.” Ahr;d 1t began to seem like & dream . Edith asked, delicately, lightly, if there had been any friendly visiting or telephoning. And then, on Thursday night, “Oh, yes. Van Murchison was in. It seems Mrs. Chipp is having & house party down at their place in the Santa Cruz Mountains a week from this week end and she wants me to go!” “What!” Edith ejaculated, incredu- “Oh, yes” Gail was trimming paragus, tying it in little faggots. “They have a big place down there— cabins, he sald, and a swimming pool. ‘We go down Friday and get back Sun- | ing day afternoon.” “Oh, Gail, aren't you excited?” Gall laughed a little protestingly. “Yes, I am,” she admitted honestly. “Terribly excited! But, of course, they only want me because Van does,” Gail suggested, suddenly sober. “He prob- ably asked his aunt to ask me.” “Oh, for heaven's sake!” Ariel said impatiently and unexpectedly in her husky tones from her place in the kitchen rocker, where e was sup- posedly studying Our Neighbors, e Americas. “What would you want her to ask for—because mama was & church member? You know very well you're not an intimate friend of hers; ‘why should she ask you!” “Really, Ariel, you're terrible!” Gail said. But she and Edith laughed just - the same. “I'd much rather——" Ariel mut- tered, returning to her book, “I'd much rather go a place because a boy wanted me than because his mother did!’ And laughing helplessly and a little shocked, Edith and Gail admitted that there was something in this view. “Did she come in, Gail, or did she write a note?” An instant'’s chill. Then Gall said casually, “Neither, my dear. She sent o message by Van.” There was a silence. Edith stood dis- tressed and disappointed, in the center of the kitchen; Ariel iooked up alertly from her book. Gall went on busily with her cooking. “Well, she will write—" began Edith on an upward inflection. “She may!” Gail agreed indifferently. “‘Well, you won’t think of accepting unless she does write, Gall?” Edith persisted, unhappily. n't_say that” “My dear Edith,” Gall interrupted in a final big-sisterly tone, “We are living in the twentieth century, not in the good old days of Pamela and Evelina.” “Well, I'm very much surprised at you Edith sald, trembling. Dinner Wwas served in a sulphurous silence. Phil noted at once that something was wrong and his first question brought the whole thing down upon him in an avalanche. Gail was flushed and angry, Edith reasonable and cool. They talked at once and Phil frowned faintly, smiled faintly, as he looked from one face to another, Phil had championed Gail all her life and she adored him as her unfail-. ing authority. It was, therefore, like & blow in her face to have him say ju- dicially over his pipe, “I'm not so sure but what Ede’s right, Gail. You aren't sure that Van Murchison—he's an awfully nice kid, and he’s most amus- ing and all that, and he means well enough—but you aren't sure that this kid ever spoke to his aunt at all. How do you know——" “Oh, listen, listen!” Gall said, man- aging a laugh, but seething with sup- pressed anger. “He didn't ask me to €0 to China! He asked me to go for two nights to Los Gatos—and I'm going! He came into the library and said that his aunt was giving this house party ;nd l:o\lllg ‘])ii(edw have me come, and sal ' elighted 1 e M ig] and that's all Jenlcemnd wl!xf a f:l‘}’hmtnu'/e of dead si- , during wi her angry voice ;:;;l‘l;g'ghtlhe %lr, El:km Ariel !x&fll a ng breath and Phil shrugged philosophically. | “You're of age,” he said briefly. Phil went out without another glance or words for his favorite sister. When Gail and Ariel chanced to be for a minute alone in the kitchen Ariel | seized the opportunity to say eagerly: “Stick it out, Gail! If every one felt the way Edith does, no one would have any fun at all! We'd all be old maids.” Arijel's sympathy was very sweet. But it did not have the value of Edith's ap- proval. On the contrary, there was something disturbing in her suggestion of a general mutiny against the Law- rence way of doing things. know that, Gall!” Ariel hesitated. It's just that they don't understand,” she said. It was always a wretched state for her, to be out of sympathy with Edith; to Edith it was absolutely insufferable. Before they had finished the dishes the younger sister said suddenly and pain- Tully: ‘Gall, I don't know why we got all rought up over this thing!

Ariel had arranged with & boy friend that he should call her on the at 8 o'clock, and call with a pleasant, dutiful, “Oh, Miss Hemmet?” Miss Hemmet was mathematics teacher. It was a risky game she was playing, but after all it was a game. anything than to spend one's evening darning the fraternal socks as Edith was placidly preparing to do, or patient- 1y to settle down to helping Sam with his correspondence school aviation work, ltl;_h G-tu.l i e telephone rang. “Take it, freshman!” Gail said to her younger sister. But Ariel needed no prompting; she was already half way to e hall. “Oh, thank you, Miss Hemmet, I will!” ‘her sisters heard her say.

She was grateful to Edith for taking it as a matter settled. Dick continued to i regard her with an odd, an almost con- temptuous smile. 3 "Yoflmllke all mzm of thing, don’t ou?” now asked. . ‘Well, I don’t know that I like it especially. I don't know much about Gail answered, slightly nettled. ‘Never having been on & house party of this sort, I couldn’t say I liked it or didn’t like it,” she went on pointedly. “Meaning that I don’t know what I'm " Dick asked with a not red laugh. “Well- Gail sald with s shrug which indicated that he was at liberty to put that interpretation upon her ‘words if he would. “I get 8 great kick out of you and the higher-ups!” Dick went on, broadly grinning. “How do you mean higher-ups?” “You take them so darn seriously!™ Dick continued. Gail smiled mysteri- ously, but said nothing. Edith must needs rush in with the last thing that should have been said. “You might get more of a kick out of it if you were asked,” she remarked. “No, I don't think I'd get any more kick out of it if I were invited,” Dick sald. “I don’t play bridge. I don't talk the way they talk,” Dick rambled on, unruffied. “I-don’t see myself in that crowd.
