She glanced out at the rambling old
house In the next garden; it had been
vacant so long that the windows were
almost hidden behind the unkept
vines. A desultory litigation had hung
over it's stately premises so long that
Delfcia had decided to make use of
the privacy 1t afforded.
Consequently, Delicia carried her
writing paraphernalia to a small dem
like room on the third floor. Fortu-
nately for the girls temperament. the
walls bore traces of pink flowers and
with the touches which artistic hands
can give, Delicia soon had an attrac-
tive workshop.
Arrived in her bower, the girl peep
ed out through the port hole Of her
window--she had sacrificed the vines
to that extent--and sighed as she
gazed wistfully at the old garden so
rich in possibilities but so much in
need OF loving hands to guide its
straying vines and tangles of old
world flowers.
Delicia had no time herself. Her
stories demanded every moment.

garden. someone might see me and

work on the story in her mind.
