BEES i ‘The Ways : of Alice “U'm distressed half to death about her,” sighed Mrs. Clinton. She glanced out of the window at her’ daughter, who was seated on the front ; porch deeply engrossed in a book. “1 | mever was interested in books to the exclusion of everything eise, and [ can’t see why my daughter should be. And for a girl not to care anything | about her trousseau is positively ab- normal.” Mrs. Clinton’s pretty face quivered with mental agony. “Alice doesn't | care a bit whether she has any clothes | or not,” she declared, bitterly. “When I told her that she simply must decide on her wedding gown ‘she just looked | up at me with a dreamy, far-away ex- ! pression and sald: ‘Why must | have | a wedding gown? Why can't Frederick and [ just go down to the chapel some day when we get ready and be mar ried without any fuss? “Did you ever hear of anything so preposterous?

I struggled with them all day and dreamed of them all night, and that's the normal, natural way for a girl to feel.” Mrs. Henderson, aunt of the repro-’ hensible Alice, laughed. “Why don't you let Alice do as she pleases?” she inquired. Mrs, Clinton frowned. “Now, 1 sup- pose you're going to take her part,” she sald. “But it isn't a particle of use. She's the only daughter I bave, 80 this is the only wedding | shall ever have in my own family, and | am determined to get some fun out of it. You won't believe me,” harking back to her grievance, “but the other day when [ asked her if she'd like to have you go with us to select her wed- ding gown she looked more interested than I'd seen her for weeks. ‘That would be lovely,’ she saild. ‘But do you think there's any necessity for my going? Why don't you and Aunt Florence go by yourselves? 1 could bave spanked her.” A few days later, as they left the stationer's shop, after ordering the in- vitations and announcements, with Alice presumably somewhere in their rear, Mrs. Clinton said in a tone of satisfaction to Mrs. Henderson: “Now we can devote the rest of the morning to the wedding gown. “Show us some of your bridal satin, she sald to the clerk a few later. “That's an exquisite plece,” she continued, as he held up the soft, shimmering fabric which fell in graceful folds over his arm. “It is beautiful, isn't it?" said Mrll,l Henderson. “And it certainly 1s rea- sonable. 1 doubt If you could do any better.” “It is pretty,” sald Mrs. Clinton rp‘ flectively, “but, of course, I not going to take the first thing | see.” | The clerk disptayed bolt after bolit | of material and was rewarded at the | end of his labors by hearing Mrlo.' Clinton say: “Thank you very much. ! Now we'll go and look at some of the lighter materials. “l haven't quite decided what the | bridesmaids ought to wear,” ehe re- | marked a short time after, as she and ber sister examined plles of. soft, deli- cate chiffons and falryllke silk mus- Uins. “If they wear chiffon, 1 don't want Alice to, of course, and 1 think champagne chiffon or velling over messaline would be lovely for the | maids, but I intend to decide positively ' before anything 1is sald to them.! “Now, we'll go to Blank's and look,” she sald complacently, when they had examined every possible material in ' the first shop. “I'm going everything before I decide.” Some time Iater, after they bad vis- le depository of wed- and had examined at they could hardly bhave distinguished brocade from cheesecloth, with tired faces and dis heveled locks, they returned to the | first shop and bought the plece of satin which they bad first looked at.

Two hours later they crept upstairs to call the children to luncheon and to note Dorothy's prog- Harold was directing operations with the air of a general. Dorothy sat near by, her angelic eyes blazing with .I-l : citement, shearing wildly her best doll's hair. About her lay several dolls of various sizes, mercilessly bar- bered, and on the floor were strewn the curls that had once graced the bisque heads. It was not this sight that made be mother start forward with a cry of terror and catch up her child in a fe- ! ver of amazement.
