and wrote to Ruth, and thus her
beloved sister arrived In the course Of

well hid, for she WAS sure that he was
really hiding his feelings. She was
positive that he rather disllked Ruth.
The first morning after Ruth's ar.
rival Dimple announced that he had
made plans to get away from business
in the afternoon to take them out.

Entertainments for every night and
for some afternoons we're planned by
Dimple. Mrs. Dlmple, worn with the
late hours as well as with worry, soon
began TO look forward eagerly 20 her
