Again came the sciousness
that i waS-in the very nature OF

how little Jim needed me In com

out to greet my guests.
Probably there was a shade more
warmth in the hug I gave my be-

for Phoebe. ] hadn't forgotten the
lunch at Vars from which 1 was

as much miffed at Phoebe for go

Neal must have sensed the shades
and degrees in my manner for he
promptly flung a protective arm
about Phoebe as he cried with boy
ish pride:
Doesn't my Phoebekins look
great, Anne? We've got a new way
OF wearing our hair, we have. And
IL made a large-sized hit at the
party today. Take off your hat,
honey-girl, and show Anne"
Phoebe giggled and removed her
hat, displaying hair drawn back
from her forehead and scalloped out
over the cheeks in a mode ] detest,
but which certainly becomes Phoebe
and makes her pansy-face look
more like a baby's than ever.
