lightly, IAN old woman like
me isn't as fortunate as YOU or Mrs
Graham. You can dash a little water
on your faces, dry them. and those
peaches and-cream compilations OF
yours are ready for ANYTHING. But
It's the little old makeup box for
me, and long session at that so
don't let me keep either of you. The
boys will be lonesome e"

her eyes that told me she wished me
to stay with her. turned to Miss
Draper smiling.
Il shall have to change these tennis
shoes Tor others before ! come down"

me most uncomfortable, but do go
down ahead OF us and keep those men

her mission.
Lovely Lovclyw Lillian whis-
pered, ecstatically. as the door closed,

afternoon. I'll admit hadn't planned
It that way at all | had meant YOU

the Draper girl over to Harry.
i figured that she might get in
tcreSted enough in Harry. who is at
his best in tennis, to make her forget
Dicky for while"
What Lillian Said.
With her usual acuteness she read
the wondering look which flashed into
my eyes. ! could not understand how
She could be so utterly indifferent to
a possible filtration between her hus-

by each allowing the other the fulleS,
latitude. OF course. YOU must realize
that were not particularly mad abou,
each other, and don't think it would
cause either of us much uneasiness il

oi her tone with caress, but with
chamcleon.like switfness she was back
again into the glceiul humor which
had signaliied the closing Of the door
