realize the bllssful state Of the par

their gratitude, and when Aunt Grace
stopped at their door they leaped up
to overwhelm her with caresses Just
because Of their gladness.
She waved them away with laugh.

voice SO soft that It took all the sting

Prudence was shocked, a little hurt
at the outburst that followed hei

"Well. such q famllyi" Aunt Grace
exclaimed. And then Carol pulled her
