So through the evenings OF long
supposed courtship Of her sister Kitty,
Molly watched Margeson, all unknown
to the young man himself
II was not until Kitty announced her
engagement to Dick Halsey that Mar

Molly

Margeson, when. after the ceremony,

Molly glanced swiftly at him, and a

Margeson. He, believing her to be en-

Ii was not until two hours later DUR

that Margeson was really enlightened
TO the state Of affairs.
"Jimmy-I never could see how you
took a fancy to Kitty when that ador-
able sister Of hers was anywhere IN

Margeson was man Of rather quick
action when once his mind was made
up. He drove home, however, with his
sister before returning to the Elsler

lie found Molly still in the soft
pink maid-of honor frock. She glanced
up in surprise when Margeson was
shown into the drawing room.
Molly. said Margeson, i have
been under the impression that you
we're engaged all this time. Are you?
Not that | am aware Of. laughed
Molly with a swift blush.
Margeson drew nearer and put his
