roses left, glorious. half-blown pink
ones.

said Betty. And, 'Tll have those roses,
If you please" said another voice at
the same time. The otheA voice be-
lOnged to a man. He was a young
man, and when Betty looked up and
he looked down, both smiled. Despite
the dampness of his clothes the boy
smiled too.
"Well," he said, (which of you is
goin' to have 'em?"
"You." said Betty. "You spoke
first"
mo, you. think you did," said The
young man.
The boy, being diplomat as well as
a flower seller, suggested that they

So they 'divvied up" They left the
station together, and since their ways
lay in the same direction, they walked
together for three blocks. Presently
both turned into the same side street
and both stopped at the same house in
the middle Of the block and both rang
the bell of the same fiat.
Don't tell me it is Sallie Miller that
you are bringing that rose to-" said
Betty incredulously.
"Sure it is" said Betty.
So they climbed the stairs together.

coming together?" said Betty. Sallie
was surprised.
II didn't know that you two knew
each other" she said.
"We don't-we didn't" said Betty.
Then they told the story of the roses.
Sallie liked the roses, but, being a
sympathetic soul, she liked the story
better Il am so glad,' she said. You
must both come again on Wednesday

They went away together. Their
talk was mostly of Sallie. Each said
