twenty, There was an earnest appeal
in the handsome face of the girl that
attracted her. She was Of Spanish
origin, she told Lois, and she longed
for a quiet position, knew all about
cooking, and proved it TO the satlsfac-
ton of both Lots and Harvey within
the ensuing few days.
''Why, the girl is a jewelw voted
Harvey enthusiastically. "What con-

"And she is quite lovely, Harvey"

"She looks like one of the fair sub

disguised admiration.

Lois came home from the matinee
one afternoon to find Inez absent and
the fiat locked up. 1t was not her day
off, and Lois wondered at her not be-

crossing the dining room, to sweep up
with her hands the fragments of some
rose leaves that had fallen from vase
containing the bouquet Harvey had
brought her two days previous. Going
