I'm the Knight of Umpe-de-Ump, the Prince of So-So, and also Lord Helpust Git! The fair Lillian is mine." " When Lily and Tom were alone the subject was dropped “Lily, I want to talk to you seri- ously.” It had come. The corners of her mouth went up for an instant. Then she lowered them hastily and looked thougntful. “Seriously ™" “Yes, Lily. It's time we had an un- derstanding. Don’t put me off any longer. 1 just can't stand it; you know I love you madly. There isn't any reason that we can't get married right away if you will only say ‘Yes.' You know they gave me a boost at the bank, and we can get along in great shape. You are the only girl in the world for me.” Lily puckered her brows. I will let vou know next Sunday. Will that do?" “All right; 1 guess I'll have to wait.” That night much the same conver- sation took place with Dick Ingraham. But Dick had prospects of losing a rich uncle. He had a nice gentle- manly position as clerk with a steel | company which netted abeut §N0 a month. e knew he could not under- take Lily on that, and put it as deli- cately as he could about his uncle Lily was very kind “You are a dear boy Dick, but really 1'd like you as well without the money Let me see vou wait until Sunday." Thus encouraged Dick promised to wait. Then came Harry., who also agreed to wait until the end of the week Lily had four days in which make up her mind It was time she decided on which one of the three it was to be. She liked them all The next day Lily erushed her hand. 1t was all very terrible and she had to have anesthetics and doctors and a trained nurse. It was Friday before she realized much of what had hap- pened, and that her room was full of flowers.

B s e a sl “I will not be paired off with any girl who wears a pimento coat,” said Chad firmly, even aggrievedly. I'm willing to go the limit on this thing. I'll put up cash for the ‘eats,’ and I pull an oar, and do all the camp tricks I know, but if yeu think I'm going to have that pimento coat handed to me to carry around on my arm all the afternoon, you've got an- |} other guess coming, Shorty. There be limits even to our fraternal bonds, boy." “She's a peach of a girl, honest, Long Life of Linen that is just what we are givinz is what you Are looking for and alony with good laundry work.

All I MARSHA LL & SANDERS could see was a splotch of rare pi- mento yellow, the glorious deep red vellow of Castilian banners. And you want me to attach myself to that comet. Nay, child, nay. Ask of old Uncle Peter what you will, but no pimento coats, lad.” “Well, shake her, if you like. I'll take her, coat and all, and be glad to, I tell you that. Only it didn't seem a square deal to her. She's a fine girl, and deserves our best specimen of manly beauty,” clothes brush swiftly and peered around the hall door for a last fling. “I'll tell her you objected to the coat, Chaddie.” Chad growled an inarticulate an- swer. Yet somehow even after his roommate had gone, he could not ap- ply himself to books. Out of doors the first day of June fairly whooped at him to come and join the fun of living. Great fleecy clouds sailed lazily up from the southwest beyond the edge of woodland that rimmed the Beyond the woodland were campus. the tall sand dunes that sloped to the blue waters of old Michigan. Along the shore three miles up, was to be the picnic, and they were to row there in boats. All unconscious of the comment she had stirred up, Dolores hesitated be- tween wearing her coat or a white sweater. “You'll need the coat coming back when it gets cool toward evening” Vida advised, and when it came to general pointers on the etiquette of wearing apparel and behavior, the | girls kowtowed to Vida in her “soph” I year. i Dolores nodded her head. She | flashed one of her quick, amused [« QW smiles at Vida. It was all part of "her college education, she felt, and Vida was a delightful guide and men- tor.

All the afternoon she kept away from him. Then sudden!; Fate veered his way. Out of the southeast there came up a pelting thunderstorm. They had walked far along the bluffs, and Shorty had led the retreat towards a distant house, when Chad found himself next the pimento coat. Drenched it was now, but he wel- comed it and its wearer, and he turned toward what looked like a shelter in the trees. “Why, it is a pilot house,” cried Dolores, “That is queer.” “Not at all,” plunged Chad boldly. “They're cast up by wrecks all along the Michigan coast line. Then the people turn them into summer houses —and-—and chicken coops, you know —anything. 1 think it's cosy myself™’ “We should go on with the rest.” “They'll never miss us, and I've got to speak to you. Why did you make believe you did not know me?” “Do I know you, Mr. Grayson?” Do- lores’ dark eyes looked at him 80 seriously and anxiously that Chad lost his head. “Do you—oh, Lord!

Another, from Dick, ran: “Dear Lil lian—My. but I am sorry about the little hand! I certainly hope it isn't s0 bad as the doc Don't wor ry about your wer.
