no real reason for Don to come down
to walk home with her when she

Elizabeth sat nibbling her pen ham
die pensively as the verse was passed
around among the girls. 1t was at
this psychological moment that one of
the errand boys came around the table
and placed in front of Pamela a small,
square box neatly wrapped in white
paper and tied with gilt cord Eliz-
abeth's eyes widened with excite
ment:
"a valentine! Oh, kiddo." she said
enthusiastically, some one has sent
you valentine"
ooh, no." said Pamela, quite posi-
lively.
ooh. yes said Elizabeth. Open it.
Let's see!"
Sure enough when the box was
opened it disclosed very pretty val
entine, all pink roses, flying doves and
gilt arrows. The heart in the center
bore in fancy script the following SEN
timent:
without thee, dear, tits summer without
sun,
Or springtime with no fair and fra
grant flowers,
But with thy love. dear heart, my life
doth run
In golden streams and through bright
fairy bowers.
The expression of surprise on Pam
elias face deepened into amazement
as she read the neatly typewriter
note which accompanied the valen-
tine:
