turn TO Stony Corners the next day.
After their noon dinner at the no.
tel, Polly and Timothy fastened to the
hardware store
sure you got that money all right9'
said Timothy. Hadn't | better take
it?"
Folly ignored this query. AS one of
the Brewster girls tripped her way
along she nudged Tim and Knocked.
Glass, real class, Tim"
They walked on in silence for five
minutes. Say, Tim," Polly broke the
silence. I've been thinking that you
would like me better if looked like
one of these Brewster girls"
"Aw, shucks.' was Tins rejoinder.
I like you just the way you are or
| wouldn't been so crazy to marry
you. Say, Polly, did you get that?"
And Timothy whistled lightly to reg
lister his approval of the short-skirted.
pink-clad blonde who was passing on
the opposite side of the street.
At eight the next morning, Timothy
and his uncle left the breakfast table
and strolled to the veranda
Il might as we'll wait here with YOU"
said the uncle. You won't want to
start out till the women folks get the
things done up inside
But Polly had a hasty whispered
conversation with Timothy's aunt 1t
met with the elder woman's approval
and by the time Timothy and his
uncle were comfortably settled in
their veranda chairs she was hurrying
down the back alley.
Eyes, uncle" Timothy was saying,
she's a real old-fashioned girl, she
is. There isn't many girls who would
have done what she did-saved all
her egg money to spend on the sep
arator and incubator and things. She's
a kind of plain dresser, but a fellow
can't get everything in one package.
And l sure am awful fond of her."
BY this time Polly had reached
Brewster's leading department store.
In quarter of an hour, with light
er purse, she went to the shoe store.
Next she visited the corsetiere, and
finally the hairdresser.
AT noon, Timothy was still sitting
on the front porch. Once or twice
during the morning his aunt had come
to tell him that Polly would be ready
soon, but he was becoming uneasy.
Then his uncle returned from his work
and they sat waiting for dinner to be
announced
mo. she sure is as economical a
wife. as anyone would want to find"
he was repeating, and then as fig
ure the embodiment of all that made
the Brewster bellies worth looking at
came tripping around the house by
the driveway, Timothy whistled.
Say, uncle, did you get that class?
Some swell dame. II it weren't for
Polly Id sure want to make her ac-
ouaintance" Then as he looked at
the figure as it approached the YER
anda he whistled again.
polly, Polly" he gasped, and Polly
slid gracefully into the chair next to
him. Then she rose and stood showing
off her finery, her arms outstretched

ton could be missed.
rs it class?" she asked, assuming
a tone of mock anxiety, and then Tim

strative. seized her dainty figure III
his arms and drew the ruffies and gew-
pauS close to him.
