pleading letters, and Mrs. Billingsley
felt that she just must go. Tom. though,

day-and II she didn't receive 1t she
would cry those beautiful hazel eyes
clear out-so there.
Biningsley promised faithfully. though
he detested letter writing, and Mrs.
Bnlingsley departed. Bnlingsley started
home early the first evening. in order
to get a good running start on the let

encountered Cunningham.

wiley gone to the rural hedgeways for
a bit, hasn't she?'
"Ye-e-es," admitted Billingsley.
Good bawled Cunningham, slap
ping Billingsley upon the back. Ken

ing about you. Great luck-we'll have
red and purple week with silver trim

For a while, Billingsley held out; but
Cunningham would not take No" So
Bnlingsley compromised. On the way TO
the club he telegraphed:
Circumstances prevent writing to-
day. Await long letter tomorrow"
Exuberant over his diplomacy, Bill

arose next afternoon at o'clock He
felt letter writing to be an impossible
task. and besides the others were wait

this:

Cunningham and tie others were Just
getting started. and the week slipped into
a perfect fulhllment Of Cunningham's red
and purple prophecy. Each day Billings

citing the impossibility Of writing at
present. but promising a masterpiece Of
all the tender emotions on the morrow
Mrs. Billingleys responses were coming
