she Orders Her Life.


That was the beginning of Pru-
dence's golden summer. She was not
given to self-analysis. She hadn't the
time. She took things as they came.
She could not bear the thought of shar-
ing with the parsonage family vel the
least ardent and most prosaic Of Jer-
rold's letters. But she never asked
herself the renson. The days when
Jerry came were TREMENDOUSLY happy
ones for her--she was all aquiver when
she heard him swinging briskly up the
ramshackie parsonage walk, and heI
breath was s%uffocatlngly hot. But she
took IL as a matter of course. She
knew that Jerry's voice was the sweet
est voice in the world. She knew that
his eyes were the softest and brightest
and the most tender. She knew that
his hands had a thrilling touch quite
different from the touch of ordinary,
less dear hands. She knew that his
smile lifted her into a delirium Of de
light. Prudence never thought of that,
She just lived In the sweet ecstatic
dream OF the summer, and was well
and richly content. I
So the vacation passed and Indian
summer came.

supper at the parsonage was over, the
twins had washed the dishes, and still
