MISS CHILPORTH'S
BALL DRESS

.iio"lhs s4"l AeaNenNard. And
youn have to take it down on the =
o'clock boat, Daisy Hope. for She wants
1t for the hop this evening That's the
loss Of half days work for me but
| cannot afford to lose her custom. And
she has such a temper. and you never
can trust that eXIressman Of ours to
be on time"
Daisy tried to look sympathetic, bat
1t was not very easy thing to do The
| fact which Madame Sdtcher lamented
as the loss Of half day meant 70 the
| girl who was sent home with the parcel
| half a days holiday, a "trip on a pleas

| through one Of the prettest watering
places anywhere. and a good time gen
| orally
There were girls. OF course, who
! would have made misery ont of IL
contrasting the lot Of Woodworking
young dreSsmaker with thar Of people

Of being known TO be one who worked
for her bread and butter and the box

day than little Daisy Hope
She intcndd to make every bit Of the
Journey holiday and she wondered"
at the lady opposite. who kept screWing

| was her mother in-law who was ut
! terly unenaurable.
] Now, Daisy felt that 1t was natural
| that a summer day should be warm,
| and that people should 20 out#in mum

nose She drove ii away with her hand

dering whether the poor mother-n-law
