 Tod caught his breath in a sob of longing and despair. Then he turned and s1ouched down the path. Oppo- site his own cabin he paused hesitat- ingly. His mother was seated in the doorway with pipe in her mouth, ready for a talk. She had seen him

 "Thirty-f1ve dollars a month and board" quickly, with something. like incredulous hope in his voice, "or $35 and house if you're married"

 A bell tangled in the hall, and a maid came in to say that Miss Boris Dean was wanted at the telephone. When Doris had hastened to answer the summons, the girls, with one ac- cord, cast aside their vari-colored sweaters, helmets and muffers and faced Henrietta as she vigorously en- deavored to make the mixture in the pan quite creamy in texture.

 "I helped him with the kitchen" said Elsie Lyson. "Did you notice the white cabinet I wouln't mind cook ing in pretty place, with everything new and convenient"
 "Doris,' called Henrietta sharply, "now is the time to add your bit. What have you to say about Martin Jame- sons house?"
 'I can't talk now. am purling the edges of this sweater" came the calm reply of Doris.
 A terrible silence fell on the group. They knitted industriously until Hen rietta, who talked more than any other member of the circle, dropped her work and started a flame under the chafing dish on the table.
 "I'll make some fudge" She began stirring the ingredients together. "We are all anxiously awaiting your report
