There was the hint Of longing on
Esther Ia:stead's face as Alica fin
ished showing her through the dainty
little Goldcrest apartment. Not the
longing for freedom which seemed the
principal reason for Alicas delight.
not the pride for ownership the
younger girl ned displayed, but the
thought OF how perfectly it would
serve as setting for the life she had
imagined with the man she loved, the
picturing Of Felix Lynn occupying
special little hooks and corners OF the
apartmcnt-that was what brought
the tears all unconsciously to her
eyes.
