CHAPTER v.
Lessons In Etiquette.

Connie was lying fat on her back
near the register. The twins were sit
ting ON the floor near her. hearing each
other conjugate Latin verbs. And Pru-
dence, with her darning basket, was
earnestly trying to get three pairs Of
wearable stockings out of eleven hos
iery remnants. So Fairy found them
as she came In, radiant and glowing.
"Glorious day." she said, glancing
impartially at her sisters. "Just slo-
riousl Connie, you should be out of
doors this minute, by all means. Twins,
aren't you grown up enough to sit on
chairs, or won't your FOOTE'S reach the

Prudence"
The whole family came to attention
at this.
"Oh. goody" cried Connie. Lets
make tafry."
"Yes." agreed Carol with enthusi-
asm-Carol was always enthusiastic
on the subject of something to eat.
Yes, and what else shall we have?"
you will likely have pleasant
dreams, Carol" was the cool retort.
"You twins and Connie will not put
in appearance at all. Prue will serve
the refreshments. and will eat with US.
Babbie and 1 shall spend the evening
In the front room."
1.-THE front room?" echoed Prudence.
"This room is much cheerier, and
more homelike."
"Well, Babbie isn't a member Of the
family. you know" said Fairy.
"You are doing your best" shifted
Carol.
"Now you girls must understand
right of that things are different here
from what they were at Exminster.
The proper thing Is to receive callers
privately, without the family en- masse
sitting by and experimenting. That's
etiquette, you know. And one must
always serve refreshments. More eti-
quette. Men are such greedy animals.
they do not care to go places where
the eats aren't forthcoming"
"Men! Are you referring to this
Babbling creature nowT interposed
Carol.
'Ouch !" said Lark.
"But won't 1t be erather-poky-just
sitting in the front room by yourselves
all eveningw asked Prudence doubt
fully, ignoring the offended twins.
'+Oh, I dare say it will. But it's
the proper thing to do," said Fairy
complacently.
"Wouldnt' it be more fun to have
the girls In for little whiler per-
sisted Prudence.
"Oh, 1t might-but 1t wouldn't be
the proper thing at all. College men do
not care to be entertained by babies"
NO." snapped Lark, "the wisdom Of
babies is too deep for these these
these men In embryo"
This was SO exquisitely said that
Lark was quite restored to amiability
by 1t. 'In embryo" had been added to
her vocabulary that very day in the
biology class. And Carol said "Ouch !"
with such whole-souled admiration
that Lark's spirit SCARED among the
clouds. She had scored!

That was the end Of supper. No
one attempted to eat another bite.
After the older girls had gone into the
sitting room. Carol and Lark went
about their work with stricken faces.
They asked II they mght speak to
Constance. but Prudence went In with
them to say good night to her. The
twins broke down and cried as they
saw the pitiful little figure with the
wan and tear-stained face. They threw
their arms around her passionately
and kissed her many times. But they
went to bed without saying anything.
1t was a sorry night for the twins.
The next morning they set of to
school, with no chance for anything
but brief good morning with Connie
given in the presence Of Prudence.
Halfway down the parsonage walk,
Carol said:
"Oh, wait q minute, Lark. left my
notebook on the table," And Lark
walked slowly while Carol went rush.

kitchen. and whispered:
"Here-here's Q note, Prudence.
Don't read 1t until after I've gone to
school-at ten o'clock you may read it.

Prudence laughed a little, but she
promised. and laid the note carefully
away to wait the appointed hour for
IT. perusal. AS the clock struck ten
ne went to the mantle and took 1t
down. This is what Carol had writ

A. Prudence read this her face grew
very stern. Carols fault At that
moment Prudence heard someone rum
ning through the hall, and thrust the
note hastily into her dress. 1t was
Lark, and she flung herself wildly up
on Prudence, sobbing bitterly.
"What Is the matter. Larkr she
cried, really frightened. Are you

"Heartsick, that's ALL" walled Lark.

could come home. but I'm not. oh,
Prudence, l know you'll despise and
abominate me all the rest of your life,
and everybody will, and deserve it.

Prudence was surprised and puzzled.
She drew the note from her pocket
and gave It to Lark. "Carol gave me
that before she went to school," she
explained. Read 1t, and tell me what
you are driving at. think you are
both crazy. Or maybe you are just
trying to shield poor Connie"
Lark read Carols note. and gasped,
and-burst out laughing! The shame.
the bitter weeping, and nervousness,
had rendered her hysterical. and now
she laughed and cried until Prudence
was alarmed again.
In time, however, Lark was able to
explain. I'VE both did it." she gasped,

both told the truth about It."
Prudence laughed. But when she
