matter with him, though. Have you
seen Lucy lately? How Is she?"
"She looks-pretty said Isabel.
II suppose she wrote you they've
moved?"
Yes; I've got her address. She
said they were building"
"They did. It's all finished, and
they've been in 1t a month. It's small.
but oh, such a pretty little house,"
"Well, that's Fortunate" George
said. "One thing I've always felt they

But his Aunt Fanny was not 30

came q spark Of liveliness into her
eyes when George patronizingly asked

that goes on around the hooks and

Fanny dropped her eyes, but a
movement Of her lower lip betokened
a tendency to laugh as she replied,
There hasn't been much gossip lately
except the report that Lucy Morgan
and Fred Kinney are engnged-and
that's quite old by this time"
There was a clatter upon Georges
plate. "What-what do you think
you're talking abohr he gasped.
Miss Fanny looked up innotently.

engagement to Fred Kinney"
George turned dumbly to his mother
and Isabel shook her head reassur-
ingly. "People are always starting
rumors," she said. II haven't paid
any attention to this One."
