We could have a dou- ble wedding next fall. Jerry and I are planning for—for October, you know.” “T'll be teaching school then, Eu- genle. Won't it be wonderful to draw real money and help mother along a bit?” Ann pulled herself up on her knees before a window. Spring was coming again. Tulips and crocuses were pushing slender green hands through the warming soil. A little bed of hardy daffodils were already flirt- ing yellow petticoats in the soft wind. A maple tree flaunted wooly red buds nearby and a blue bird was carpenter- ing his nest in one of fis tossing boughs. Ann whirled around, sitting down on her crossed legs, Turk fash- fen. “Eugenle, I am golng to wear these. canvas pumps because mother sent them to me. You understand, don't yor “Ot course I do, honey child, and love you for it. But I was thinking you'd be awfully conspicuous when you march up to get the prize, that Mr. Brooke is giving for the best marks this term. 1 think Miss Har- rington is a pig to take up part of the time tonight with an old speech, but of course I will’be proud to see you get that hundred dollar prize.” “Don’t be too sure of my success,” laughed Ann, secretly much excited over the possibility of winning the much coveted prize. “I feel like a barn yard fowl among lovely birds of paradise,” Ann told Eugenie’s’ good looking brother Joe that night when he had promptly taken charge of her as soon as the in- troduction was ower. “Well, they all look like half picked birds to me,” said Joe glancing around the room at the cse of white necks “You're the prottiest girl school and far and away the ly dressed ome,” he added. said that I mever would wWho dressed immodest- fallen In love at fi sight and was re: precipitately.

F've been with this house eighteen years, an’ I've seen th’ best o’ them take the count.

She kept an eye on Cal for a long time, then a little crestfallen, saw him leave the stage with a party of ladies. The older woman turned, angrily, to the girl. “Come on, Dorothy,” she snapped. “It looks like that man was right.” “Oh, mamma,” protested Dorothy Burnham, a litile aveakly. “Cal's all right. Trust him.” Then she followed her mother out to their machine. Cal Bryn had vanished. “Bryn’s been hitting it up,” volun- teered O'Brien, as he again accosted Mrs. Burnham and Dorothy in the wings the following Friday. “See that big pair of bruncttes right in front ot him.
