 May 12-I was too unhappy to write yesterday. I sent Billy his ring and then cried all day. just had to do 1t. If he doesn't think know how to buy anything and intends to laugh at whatever I select, can imagine myself going out with him to buy fur niture for our bungalow.
 May 14-I haven't heard from Billy. I cannot understand him at all He has always shown deference to my judgment before. Just week ago to- day he complimented me on two gowns that came from Mime. Starr's-
 May 15-Very busy. We are pack ing to go to the country. Not G line from Billy. He hasn't even phoned. IL is very queer for him to keep the ring and never ask me if I really meant 1t.
 May 16-Mother and the trunks and servants are gone. am alone in the city house. Am waiting until the evening train to go with dad l May 20-The coutry is lonesome. Not half so pretty as last year. And the house looks bare and empty.
 May 23-Went to the postoff1ce this morning, and coming home l got sick. The sun was hot and l guess I walked too fast.
 Just as reached the little white farm house-the first one beyond ours on the road to the village-I got dizzy and guess tainted. When I come too, I was in the parlor of the little house with the incest. dearest, c0ziest little country. woman fussing over me: s@ s.t.@ She gave me elderberry wine and made me lie still on the most comfort able red plush sofa.
 Then she told me all about herself and "Pappy." How he had been gar. dener and she had been cook at the same place for years and years. until the old mistress died and the homo was broken ap. They had loved each other for a long time, but let the years slide along as some people do without taking things into their own hands, When the old lady died they decided to get married and buy little faym with their savings. So "Pappy" is not really pappy at all. There are just the two of them. But she says the son of their old mistress is very good to them and comes often to visit. l was very much interested.
 When I felt better, Pappy drove me home in the wagon.
 May 25-I stop in the little farm house every day. Molly and Pappy are darlings. And their house is so cozy with it's bright-colored wallpapers and curtains and carpets.
 Don't you have lamp for your p. H Tor table, Molly?" asked.
 "No, honey" she said; mot yet. It takes time to get everything, you see. !"
 How would you like one with grapes on?" asked impulsively.
 "Oh, wouldn't it be grand. though. honey! I'd be so proud and stuck up wouldn't be speakin' to any one. Me with grape shade lamp and a morn ing glory phonygraph!"
 May 26-Oh! don't know what to write first or how to say 1t all. There Is so much to-but there will try to get it all down in order.
 got up early and went into town with dad and went straight to Morley's china store. where Billy and went two weeks ago-it seems like two years! The lamp with the grapes was still there, but was marked Sold" But the salesman said he would see if they had a duplicate in stock. Sure enough they had. so paid for 1t and had 1t sent out by express.
 I did some shopping in town and came home on the 4 o'clock train. On my way from the station met Pappy and asked him to bring the box Then I stopped in to congratulate Molly. q forgot to say it was their anniversary.) She wouldn't let me go till she made me cup of tea.
 Then Pappy drove up to the gate with Billy. And they lifted two boxes out of the wagon instead of one.
 Billy was so surprised to see me he waited until Molly had introduced us before he spoke to me at all. She called him 'her boy" and he kissed her on both cheeks, told her she was prettier than ever, and said he'd brought her an anniversary present.
 So Pappy unpacked the boxes and out came two lamps exactly alike | all cOvorad with Oropoc ord hroCo
