cousin, not herself, who was marrying
into the navy she did not pay much
attention to the argument.
A year later, however, when she
became engaged to Lieutenant Jim
Allen she recalled it thoughtfully
For Margery was a southerner. Her
appearance proclaimed that fact even
before her delightful accent establish

while she was visiting her cousin at Il
northern navy yard and became engag-
ed to him after three weeks of ardent
wooing, and then she went home to
Altamara with his ring on her finger
and his image firmly engraved on her
heart. Jim went to sea. 1t was easy
enough to be loyal while she stayed
quietly in Altamara, for she knew
every man in the town and had been
engaged to half the boys in her set,
but being engaged really was different.
A cousin of her fathers who lived in
New York wrote and asked the girl to
visit her for the winter. Her parents
insisted upon her accepting the invita-,

York she slipped Jim's ring from her
finger and put it on the chain she wore
about her neck. 1t would save her a
lot of troublesome explanations
New York was a revelation. 1t was
her first glimpse Of the metropolis, and
she wrote glowing accounts of the
theaters, restaurants and parties to
Jim. Her cousin had three daughters,
