 At thn pirnia Harold could Dot help breeding ,etef GladYs' slight. as he ehosc to cail lt in uot coming He devoted his entire attention to freez= Ing the lee cream and making the lemonade and left the others 10 the merfymaking
 He was turning away with all his mlkhi on the crank of an ice cream freezer when he was startled by n teasing soiee close ID hia elbow. You don't seem to be enjoying tue picnic very much t said
 He looked up and saw Mabel stand ing with one pretty elbow leaning on the lemonade barrel He noted with An approving eye that her dress was ef the latest pattern and that t fitted her perfectly also that her hair. while nei quite so wnyy ns Gladys. framed faee almost as pretty t=t.m not saneh of hand 10 get over disnppointments easily he said. giv.

 "She doesn't dislike you, aud If she did II wouldn't be for what you've done. hut for what you haYen't done. 7
 "'fhere t goes agnine' he answered grossly "is IL T crime for fellow to spend his fathers money when his father is wiiingf' "l'm sure l don't know" said Mabel "i suppose that's Tor you to decide. Let's talk about something else. "All right let's sample this lee cream"

 That they raise apples te pay their | way" interrupted Harold | "Rut dc believe" he went on. that we don't half appreciate the things l that we get just for the asking. 1 wonder how il would scem if a fellow had to work for everything be got.
