"Yes, it's plain enough!" George
grunted.
yet It's lovely; the gray-green roof
and shutters give just enough color,
with the trees, for the long white
walls. 1t seems to be the finest house
I've seen in this part OF the country"
George was outraged by IN enthu-
siasm so ignorant-not ten minutes
ago they had passed the Anderson
mansion. 'Is that sample Of your
taste in architecture" he asked.
"Yes. Why?"

turned brusquely. "Girls usually
think they know 1t all as soon as
they've learned to dance and dress and

thing about things like architecture,
for instance. That house was about
as bum house as any house ever

He spoke Of 1t in the past tense, be-
cause they had now left 1t far behind
them-a human habit Of curious sig
Jnificance. 'Tt was like house meant

At this he was remorseful. "All

He said, Indeed, I'm sorry" in a

handsome when he said It, she
thought. No doubt 1t is true that
there is more rejoicing in heaven over
one sinner repented than over all the
saints who consistently remain holy,
and the rare, sudden gentlenesses Of
arrogant people have infinitely more

gentle people. Arrogance turned

dazzled by the quick glow Of her eyes,
