Sugar decided she looked at l:ast 18 or 19 and was delighted that she no longer looked like a child. “Look!” Zanie ran breathlessly back into the bath room. “These white pumps ought to fit you and here’s a pair of silk stockings. There’s no use having a new dress if you wear those old oxfords and black stock- ings.” Sugar put them on in a daze. They were a perfect fit. When ghe stood up on the high heels she teetered for a moment before she could quite get her balance. She closed her eyes happily before the mirror. “I—I'm almost afraid to look at myself for fear I'll disappear.” “You—you're the prettiest girl in this burg.” Zanie Lou beamed on her handiwork. “All you need now is a little make-up. Your hair is per- fect as it is. I like the way you wear it, curled all over your head without a part. It looks like a halo in the sunshine.” Zanie Lou pulled a compact and lipstick from her smock pocket. “Here, THE EVENING was in the window of the City Drug Store that Sugar’s eyes fell on a sign that brought her to a halt. Lollypops, 10 Cents Per Dozen Today Only. ‘Tightly rolled in her handkerchief was the only dollar she had ever earned. Sugar figured rapidly. It would buy 120 big lollypops—a treat for all the little people at the orphan- age. Sugar felt as though she! had 50 much happiness all in one day it would be selfish to save her dollar or spend it on herself. Before she had a chance to change her mind she was walking from the drug store with a box under her arm and a surprised clerk was scratching his head trying to figure why any pretty young girl would want so many lollypops all at one time. But Sugar felt all warm and happy inside and hummed all the way down the street. At the end of Main street were two roads. One leading to Orphange Hill |and the other to the path down by | the winding river. She took the river |road. It was a hot June day and the {road burned under the girl's high- heeled pumps. But she was so happy | she didn’t feel it. Suddenly Sugar stopped It was | June 24! Seventeen years ago that | day she had been found on the steps | of the Torien Orphange by Dr. Slemp.

Opposite her he stopped his machine. “Could you tell me,” he took off his hat gallantly, “how far it is to Lorien, Va.? Sugar pointed to the sign. “Just three miles.” “Thank you,” Scoop grinned and Sugar saw that he was sandy-haired, freckled and had a kind face. “Could I give you a lift, little lady Sugar hesitated—but only for a moment. “You're very kind.” trying not to hobble.

Mr. Le Masters always greeted her cordially when he came to see his son. He usually gave her a sly wink and a pat on the back. Sugar took it to mean that he was very much on her gide. Eurasia took great delight in preparing all the delicacies she knew | the little orphan could not have had on the hill. The servants were her adoring slaves. Liney, when she learned Sugar had to wash her one uniform every night, insisted on doing it herself. Every| morning when Sugar awakened her clothes would be freshly laundered, lying across a chair beside her bed. To the black folks Sugar Friddle was the finest little lady they had ever zerved, and she paid them back with friendly smiles and a willing ear that listened to all their grievances Sugar had seen Mrs. Le Masters only once. It was the afternoon of the family squabble after she had been moved from the celiar. That day her employer went to Richmond to spend a few days sulking and shop- ping. But she knew Skeeter's mother was a tall, wiry blond with brown eyes, which contrasted strangely with her light hair. And that she was pale as a lily and wore no make-up except & scarlet splash of rouge across her sulky full mouth. Exotic, Sugar decided, was the word that described her best. She'd read of just such & woman in a magazine once. A woman who wore her hair just like Mrs. Le Masters. Parted | in the middle and coming down over her ears, to end in a bun low on her neck. It was always unwaved. Thursday was to be Sugar’s day off. A whole afternoon and evening to #spend in doing just as she pleased. For the first time in her life she would be free to go window shopping and take a walk . to Orphanage Hill and see Mother Friddle, Johnny and all her old friends.

There were so many things she needed— she didn't know where to start spend- | ing her salary. Liney would take care | of the baby while she was gone. Zanie Lou breezed in just as sunr? had gotten Skeeter to sleep. { “This is my day off,” Sugar rushed | around making certain the nursery was in order. “And I'm going out to see the big world. Am I thrilled?” ! Zanie threw herself into a chair | languidly: “Nothing ever happens | in this place. There's nothing to ! see.” | “Oh, but there is!” Sugar's cheeks were pink with excitement. “I'm going to window shop and take a walk and ®0 up to the orphanage.” Zanie Lou's first impulse was to | Jaugh. But something in the other | girl's happy face restrained her and | she sighed wistfully. i “I hope you have a grand time, | Bugar.

But what would | Mrs. Le Masters say if you were seel on the street with an orphan?” “I don’t worry much about what | the dame says.” Zanie Lou sniffed | impatiently. “She’s always ag’in some | one, or something. None of us ever pay any attention to her spouting. | She'll be home this evening, darn it! | It's been so nice and peaceful around | here.” | “Well, I'm ready” Sugar announced | when she had washed her face and arranged her curls. “This afternoon I'm going walking around town and out to the country. And this evening I'm going to have supper with Mother Friddle. I've always wanted | to walk down by the river alone. It's so beautiful.” | Sugar in her blue uniform. It was dreadful to have to go out on the street in that ugly old thing. Her sympathetic little heart ached. “Wait a minute,” she got up. “I'll be back in a sec.” In a little while she appeared with & dress over her arm. “I was just wondering,” she fibbed offhandedly, “if you could get into this old green silk. It's terribly big for me. You're heavier than I. Maybe you can wear it.” “Oh!” Sugar gasped when Zanie Lou held the dress up to her. “It— | it's so beautiful! My favorite color! Are you sure you can't wear it?” “Positively. It fits me like a tent. Here, try it on.” Sugar slipped the uniform over her head, and Zanie was shocked to see the old cotton slip she wore. She’d have to find some way to give her some decent underwear, too. She had so much more than she needed. Sugar’s hands trembled so she could hardly get the dress on. “Oh, honey!” Zanie Lou clapped her hands. “You can't imagine how sweet you look! I told you you were beautiful! Here—come into the bath room and look in the long mirror.” Sugar squeezed the tears back from her eyes. “It—it's a dream,” she choked. “Such a darling little cape! It makes me look taller, doesn’t it— with the straight skirt? Oh, Zanie Lou, you're so good.” Impulsively Sugar put her arms around her friend and gave her a tight squeeze. Zanie felt strangely uplifted and noble. It was a grand feeling. She'd never given anything away before. “Oh, wait!” she cried impulsively. “I've something else I bet you can Wwear.” Sugar stood back and surveyed her- gelf.
