Emmy, the only daughter, is disappointed with her surround- ings, envious of her wealthy r tives, eager to leave. There is qui hard-warking Robb, who loves her, but who represents to her only a moneyless, boring future. She de- cides to get away from dingy Flower street and live her own life, in a little apartment of her own, where she can entertain as she likes. Mrs. Milburn, after a talk with her hus- band, deeides to ask Uncie Bill Parks, who owns the house, if he will give it to them, since they have vaid rent for wenty-five years. Uncle Bill says to wait until he fee good enough to get down town to his office. He will then decide. Mrs. Milburn discovers her husband has taken Dan, the son, about fourteen vears old, to a pool room. Emmy decides to give a luncheon for some girl friends at the little yellow house. Her father promised to p for an extra woman to serve, but he | did not come home all night.

Emmy sigaed for it, and 100k~ ed at it with wide, frightened eyes. She could not remember th time when a telegram had ever come to the house before. What could be in it? Tt was addressed to her mother and she carried it back into the kitchen, The instant Mrs. Milburn caught sight of it she began to tremble all over. She stretched out her hand for it and then quickly drew it back. “I—1 can’t open It I said, with her stricken eyes on the vellow envelope. “You do it.

He sat beside the fire and never took his eyes from her while she kissed his mother and thanked her for the necklace of turquoise that Mra. Milburn gave to her. She had brought it down from the treasure trunk in the attic, and she had brought a flat wooden box with her at the same time. “There's some of the Pentland silver in that box,” she said spoons and forks.

They're a big enough job for 'most everybody, it seems to me.” Mrs. Milburn’s soft blue eyes went auickly to Perry’s face. She had heard the remarks he had made about the Veivet-Smooth iace Cream girls that he drew for the Upstill-Unger people. But Perry did not answer questioning eyes. He did not cven see them. He was still looking at Lovey as a man looks at only onc woman in all of his life. “He's completely wrapped up in her,” she said when they were gone, and I'm sure she loves him, too. her doing soap adveriisements, . . ‘Oh, well, T supposc he'll find time to do the things he wants to do, after business hours.” She was determined to 100k upon the bright side of the marriage, it wag clear. She scemed to have fought down her doubt and fear for Perry, as she had fought down a great many other things in her life, “Lovey's a wonderful little girl!™ declared Mr. Milburn, biting the end from a rich, black cigar. “She shows the right spirit—taking Perry right into her father's busincss! She's a real woman! He never had forgiven his own wife for failing to “get him in right” with Uncle Bill Parks when that old pirate was alive.
