In two days Cousin Daisy had ae'

rented and Aloyaia established In

ders for her, When she looked In the
glass she hardly knew the stylish
young woman she saw there.
At the dinner table the frst night
at her boarding place she looked up,
startled. to see Dick Churchill sitting
down opposite her, Presently the land
lady introduced them.

Dick looked across at Aloysia ana
for the frst time In his life he really
saw her. lie smiled and she smiled
back. They were friends az once.
A week later he had moved 10 a
place beside hers. where they could
talk in lower tones. That summer he
began 10 build house, with a yeranda
aud balcony and many windowA
And that fall by the time the FIRST
leaves we're falling all Aries knew that
the house was being built for Aloysia.
Dick had at last made his choice of a
girl.
