Lucetta withdrew.

at the floor.

Bud passed two weary days and

eyes shone softly. Bud gazed at her
with breathless admiration and added
huskily, And you look SO peachy,
just perfectly elegant
Delicious little thrills were making

through the Vavering rows Of trees
and houses.
It's 4 truly proposal" she thought
happily, "a truly proposal" She only
heard his earnest little voice. she
didn't see the freckled boy and his
strap Of books.
They both stopped with a sudden
sense Of shame and smiled foolishly
at each other. They were two houses
past her door!
Couldn't | come over tonight and

Buds face grew stern. He snorted
audibly and strode away without

He passed her haughtlly the next
morning and decided that he'd try TO
get on the football team. She had
said once that she'd just about die if
any one she cared about played that
awful game.
She fdgeted through the morning
and stopped him at noon. She was
all alone.
"Wu-ooh," she sang out sweetly as
he was stalking by, and he turned SO
quickly that he sprawled upon the

Helena alone was unaffected She
nodded superciliously and muttered,
That is nice, Lu. She was glad she

She was halfway to school when he

Helena he breathed significantly,
and looked down at his vest. She
smiled demurely.

demanded eagerly. go.
We'll, maybe she dimpled.
