"Oh, 1 couldn't couldn't hurt the
girl. you see that. don't you?" eagerly,
'I never see the use of beginning any
thing like that" Kathleen returned.
"a girl like that always takes ad-
vantage of the slightest familiarity ;
she'll probably follow you around like a
dog now. ] saw her smiling at you
across the dining room tonight. You're
foolish. sentimental child. aren't
you?' her smile taking away the sting
that the words might have carried.
"But l love you"
= "Do you. Kathleen? Do you really ?"
Virginia's tone was wistful.
'Of course, I do. Didn't virtually
admit that you were right about last
night?"
''Ycs, you did; and it was splendid
of you. ] love for for it," And she
did. Virginia had that clean. upright
nature that glories in the strength OF
another TO admit herself in the wrong
Kathleen had cemented their friendship
closer than ever by nice little bit OF
strategy. And yet she realized that she
would have to be careful, Virginia
was not to be driven.
Virginia discovered another thing
about Kathleen few days later. and
that was her extraordinary popularity
among men. It was in the hour before
dinner and the two girls were in Nir-
ginia's room. Kathleen had room
mate and it was difficult to have any
privacy, so that they always went into
Virginia's room when they wanted to
talk.
Kathleen was relating her experiences
of the preceding summer, and they made
Virginia feel young and frightfully in
experienced Her own men" friends
had been few and far between, but
Kathleen. with her sparkling conversa E
ton. her charm. the fash of her white
teeth, the queenly toss of her head
how could men help adoring her? Nir-
ginia had some, small misgivings about
the Christmas vacation when she was
to take Kathleen home with her. Per
haps it would be too quiet. After all
how strange it was that Kathleen Eos
ter. the girl who could have had any
one for friend. should have chosen
newcomer with no particular attrac
tion. OF course. Virginia underesti
mated herself. She had qualities that
Kathleen lacked; qualities that would
be of great value to her some day. This
fact was demonstrated when the cas-
was chosen for the school play, and il
was as much n surprise to Virginia as
it was to any one else when she was
chosen for one of the leading parts

NIRGINIA, who still did not know
Kathlcen's impetuous nature, lay
awake long time after Edna platt had
left. She was worried and unhappy.
Not for the world would she have done
anything to incur the displeasure of
Kathleen and yet it had seemed just as
impossible TO hurt poor defenseless
Edna.
The next morning at breakfast Vir-
ginia threw an imploring look across the
table at the older girl. but Kathleen
was busy with her grapefruit and did
not sec. 1t was that way all day.
Kathleen purposely avoided her. What
she expected was that Virginia would
come to her. admit that she had been
wrong and foolish. and there would be
an immediate forgiveness. But Virginia
did no such thing. She was proud and
she was hurt. Rather than lose Kath-
leen's friendship she would have been
willing to do anything. except to ad-
nit herself in the wrong when she felt
that she had done right.
IT was the first time that Kathleen
had ever met any girl who had had the
courage of her convictions, and by night
she was certain that Virginia had no
idea of giving in Kathleen was clever.
She liked Virginia. and she had 10
idea of spelling the friendship between
them. She had discovered that Virginia
was not weak; that she could not be
bullied and there was just one thing
to do about 1t. Kathleen proceeded to
do this. Just before dinner she went
10 Virginia's room. perched on her bed
In the old way and chatted as though
nothing had happened. Virginia was so
glad to see her that impulsive tears
came to her eyes and she rushed across
the room and threw her arms about
Kathleen. Kathleen put an arm about
the slim girlish shoulders and kissed
her softly on the cheeks. but II Vir-
ginia had looked up she would have
seen nothing of tenderness in Kath-
leens blue eyes. They were hard like
those of an older woman. Kathleen had
capitulated because she felt that it
was necessary becauTc she felt that it
would ultimately result in the best thing
for her.
you're not cross with me any longer
then" Virginia half sobbed.
"Of course not, foolish" Kathleen
said lightly. 81 did think you were
wrong last night. but ] thought it over
and l suppose you couldn't help it.
