shouldn't dream of asking them,
they would only take 1t out of me by
adding something on TO my books.
No; I'm going to Mrs. Darlington
Browns tradespeople, because, you
see, | took her to them, and the
least they can do is to give me some
things"
what sort of things?"
"Oh, boxes, and satin cases, and
cushions, and chocolates, and fancy
soaps, and-well, it depends, of course,
upon what they sell and where we
CO." she added as she looked at the
list in her hand.
1t was two o'clock when we eventu-
ally reached the Berkeley, where we
stopped and had some luncheon. Then
l left Isabel to her errands while I
went to be shampooed, and she was
in the highest spirits when l met her
again.
Well" / asked, "and have you got
your bazaar articles very cheap?"
my dear" she said gaily 81 can't
tell you how nice they've been at the
shops. They were just teeny bit
reserved at first-some of them; but
Mrs. B-Bs name is sort of open
sesame, you know. 1t must be lovely
to be an open sesame" she added
signing, even If it's only through
coal or groceries, and fully worth the
name of Brown; besides, money takes
you everywhere nowadays, not only
into Shops"
Have you enough things to fill your
stall?"
Not yet" she answered. But
then, you see, they didn't seem to
care TO give me things. / went to
Blacks first-that lovely mixed shop
where l got my new bedroom carpet
and chiffon frock for Babs-and
they said they were so sorry, but they
had rule they never broke about
bazaars, and that they never con-
tributed anything, but If would kind
ly accept three guineas they would
gladly give it me towards the charity
Il suppose they will add that on to
Mrs. Browns account?"
Il suppose they WILL" she answered
thoughtfully.
My brothers chauffeur had some diff
ficulty in finding the hall, as it was ur
at Camden Town-and Lady Isabel
had told me Camden Hill; but l even
tually arrived there, and found Babs
and Lady Isabel presiding, somewhat
to my surprise, over a loaded fruit
and flower stall.

Not Bit" she answered pleasant
ly; Pm never tired. can't beal
women who get tired, it ages them 81
dreadfully"
1T is thoughtless of them," I mur
INJURED gently.
Don't be silly, Majorie; tell me how
you like my STALL"
Il thought you were going to rep
resent the stores."
We'll, l was" she admitted, ''bu
Mr.. Melcolmstein insisted on supply
ing me with fruit and flower stall
Perhaps he has something to do will
that lovely fruit and flower shop
Abraham's, because all the things
have come from there, or at any rat,
he must have got them cheap, be
cause he said, with that funny lisp o
his, that they would not cost hin
anything; but perhaps he didn't meal
that quite literally. Look here, dear
est, do you want any of these roses
They are two shillings each, but yo,
can have them for sixpence-trad
prices for friend, you know"
THANK you," said, demurely
!, then | think I'll take them for moth
ing. BY the way, Isabel" l said, a

Mrs. Barrington-Brown's shops CAV
: you checks for your other STALL"
so they did," she answered, lool
ing frankly at my puzzled face.
| Then what did you do with them
/ Mr.. Malcolmstein filled your stall?
+ DO with what?"
( THE checks, of course"
MY dear girl" answered Lady Is;
r bel, as she bent to disentangle fer
from small but very thorny ros,
what silly questions you do asl
