bounced into the car. BEG pardon
stelE for steppin' on you" she con
tinued, stumbling over Miss Larson
feet and lunging into 4 seat next I'd
that young person.
Miss Larson opened one sleepy eye
"Oh, did you step on me?" she droned
yawning widely and undisguisedly Il
didn't know it,"
Sure ] did" responded Miss Con
nelly. Il thoughtiTd better wake you
up and tell you about it. You can 20
TO sleep again now"
Miss Larson opened the other eye
81 wasn't asleep, Nell Connolly" she
said Indignantly. 81 guess a person S
got a right to shut their eyes If they
want to. My eyes amt very strong
and the light hurts EN-"
Don't let's waste our perfectly
good time fightin' with each other
this morning" said Miss Connolly
IF we do we won't have time to
knock the weddin"
SAY" began Miss Frizkie eagerly,
didn't you pretty near die over the
way Names hair was fixed? Honest
to goodness, when l get married I'll
have hair dresser fix my hair up
swell if / don't have so much as a
pork chop to eat for year"
Il thought her hair looked pretty
good for Name" said Miss Larson,
sleepily. 1T always looks like she'd
slept in it."
Her dress was peach. though,
wasn't it?" said Miss Frizkie AT
least it would have been IL It had
had any fit to it. All that hand en-
broidery and that bead trimming
must have cost a pile
Hand embroidery calculated
Miss Connolly. That's all you know
about il, Jen. ! was over TO look at
Names clothes Tuesday evening and
l felt OF it good. and it wasn't no
more hand embroidery than nothing. 20
well. she must a got a corner on
this years crop OF beads" said Miss
Frizkie. What 40 you think / said
to the lady that was standin' next TO
me when Name came into the parlor?
give her dig with my elbow and
says, Say l says, Name must have
got mixed in her dates and thought
she was a Christmas tree
My! The lady got as red as any
thing. I designed that gown, she
says, smiling up her nose at me, mad
as she could be.
Land / just faded away like I'd
been blown off the landscape"
Its 4 pity you couldn't learn rot
to have such rude manners, Jcn,
said Miss Connolly.
Il guess if | could just learn 10
shut up and keep shut up it would
help some" agreed Miss Frizkie, good
naturedly
Name didn't have such an awful
lot of presents as / thought she
would" Miss Larson opened her eyes
long enough to remark. Il kind OF
thought she'd have a lot more'n what
she did"
Some OF 'em was expensive,
though. / guess" said Miss Frizkic
Now, bet that cut glass pitcher and
them glasses cost 500
nix on that" said Miss Connolly,
decidedly. 4 picked up every one Of
EN- and run my finger over EN- and
they wasn't sharp like cut glass ought
to be They was real smooth"
Well, that shows how you can fool
me-" Miss F'rizkie admitted "But
then I'd a whole lot rather have
snowy set like that than some little
dinky piece that wouldn't make no
show at all"
Same here said Miss Larson.
ANYBODY would. OF course. | guess
Names mas folks are pretty well
fixed anyway. Her mas brother gave
her that dandy set of knives and
forks that was layin' upon the dress
or with the plates with the hand
painted fruit design up EN-"
'Nothin' much 10 tbem,' said Miss
Connolly. 4 guess they didn't cost
more'n about s.. They was plated
and it wasn't a first-cIass plate.

"Plated?" cried Frizkie. How do
you know they we're plated?'
Why. I took EN- out and looked at
them replied Miss Connolly, placid
ly. You can't fool me- All the sill
yer things there was plated except
that little pickle fork that the two
Ryan girls give her, and / seen them
on sale last week over 10 Green
burg's for one and a quarter"
