 Why" said Billy again Billy was reading a story and l knew she didn't want to be bothered, but I kept on new ertheless. l know that I've stopped in the interesting parts of things lots Of times when she has wanted to talk
 "Oh, because it's like that with me-" I said gloomily.
 "How?" said Billy, reaching for a chocolate. and then I threw a pillow at her, and she actually threw down her book.
 I'm blue" said looking for sym- pathy, and what's the use of going on playing that kind of a game if it's always going to be that way? I'll nev- CT get on with the men I like, and the men l like will never get on with me-"
 Have chocolate said Billy stick ing box under my nose, and then wt both dipped in, and sat with the bo, between us.
 'It's just the same with you, too" reflected sorrowfully. Just look a, the way Ross Wilson adores you sends you candy and hangs around all time, and then you laugh at him be- hind his back. And I know very we'll you'd be thrilled to death if Howard King should even mention such a thing as calling
 q would not" said Billy with fam ing cheeks. And then I hugged her and she whispered, Well, I suppose l would, Peg"
 "Why, if MT. Allen should ever call me up and say he was coming over, can tell you I'd be thrilled" I admit ted with my chin in the air. And then the telephone rang and both jumped. But it wasn't for either of us; 1t was the plumber to see if the leak he had just fixed in the pipes was holding all right.
 Speaking of being thrilled. said Billy disdainfully Thank heaven, Peggy, you don't get into these moods very often. I guess I'll go back to that story. List to the part where you in terrupted-'Tears blinded her eyes and she lecped to her feet and seized him by the shoulder. all her anger ablaze. |"
 What on earth are you reading?"
 "Oh, just magazine story. but it's pretty good. I'll tell you. Peg, I don't think it will be that way about things when the right man comes along. Anyway, what's the use of worrying?" And then Billy went back to her story and I stopped bothering her.
 I guess it is good thing that don't get these moods often. Today I ju | hate myself I don't wonder that people think I'm frivolous. just make them think so by the way I act when I intend to be perfectly sensible all the while.
 Even Kate went back on me the oth- CT day when she ran in to ask me for book I had promised to lend her.
 Why, you lovely, frivolous thing" she said, looking at me in such a fun- 1 ny way Just because I had on my new pink negligee and the Dutch cap l Beatrice gave me for Christmas. Do you always look so dressy. or did you have an inkling that some one was coming?"
 Kate is irritating sometimes and I | remember that 1 was perfectly furious at the time. But I don't think it proves that I'm frivolous just because like to look pretty I remember that I told Dr. Hammond that same thing once long ago. Oh I must think of something more cheerful; it would never do to mediate on Dr. Hammond 1 just now.
 "Oh, Billy" said breathlessly, ''how would you like gray velvet chin strings with that gray maline hat?"
 "Where?" said Billy, looking up va- cantly.
 And than laughed and actually felt better.
