finding her drove sleep away. What
had she gone to the party for, she
wondered
She was older than the rest of the
students and worked harder, fulfilling
an Old dream that had been iinpos-
sihle before. She was used 70 work
ing shyly in a corner, and eating her
lunch alone. For a silly whim, be-
cause she had been chlistened Dora.
and been always called Dolly, she had
decided to go to the dolls ball.
Next day she was back in her cor
ner at the academy trying hard with
an aching head. to make the inside
Of a church look like the inside OF
church instead of like toy ball. All
around her the others talked of their
fun of the night before. There was
much specializing on the masked doll
who had fled away at twelve-Cln-
derella stuff, the hilarious youth said.
At one o'clock as she was packing up
her paints she heard Charlotte shout:
There's Uncle John. Well make him
take us to lunch.''
Miss Dearborn blushed and then
turned pale, forgetting that Mr.. Thurs
ton could not recognize her. She left
her corner, hurried by the long way
round so that she would not have to
cut across the room in the direct line
of vision. She was out on the street
soon, breathing hard.
DIR. Thurston, however, was aware
of the slim figure, gliding along the
wall. 1t reminded him of his masked
partner Of the night before. When he
could interrupt Charlotte he said:
"WhO sits over in that corner by the
discobOlus?"
"Oh," said Charlotte uninterestedly,
that's Miss Dearborn. She was here
a minute ago. Why? You needn't
think she was your Cinderella. She's
not young or pretty. She's-she's just
Miss Dearborn. You'll have to look
further, Uncle Jack"
Uncle Jack thought he knew better,
but he kept his knowledge to himself.
He told Charlotte he would meet her
in the lobby, but by the time he
reached there no Miss Dearborn was
to be seen there or hurrying up the
street.
Better luck next time!" said Uncle
Jack to himself.
The next afternoon. Sunday, while
Miss Dearborn was working on the
sketch of the church she had brought
home, the maid in great excitement
announced: "A gentleman to see you,
MISS 1t was the first time such a
thing had happened.
Miss Dearborn patted her folds here
and there and went downstairs, Won
derIng Fortunately, Uncle Jack had
his back to the window, and she was
well in the room by the time he turned
and saw her. Otherwise she would
have fled.
She gasped and then said quietly:
How do you do, Mr.. Thurston"
Uncle Jack took her hand and held
1t firmly. 'You are coming to tea with
me-" he said, ITO do some talking
yearseif. You can't escape from me
SO easily as you seem to think. You
are to become human from this min

Brief and straight and slim are
the lines which this dress chose TO
adopt. The material used is one Of
those colorful checked taffetas for
which leaders of fashion promise great
popularity.
The stripes are coral on a white
ground, and the color Is intensified
in a darker shade Of faille ribbon
which binds the short sleeves, doubles
around the waist, and emphasizes the
seems of the skirt. White is the long,
long vestee, and charming the frill.
Georgette is used for this inset.
Speaking of bingham, this humble
material achieved a popularity and
distinction at the fashionable winter
resorts which 1t never enjoyed In the
past. Yes. Bingham has arrived. Tiny
pin checks to half-inch checks, In all

Next morning Lois appeared at,

of half past eight. Alice had not al
lowed her mother to get up, so she
had arranged a tray, with a few
flowers from her "grandmother's
garden" to dress it up and had car
ried 1t upstairs to the bedroom.
She was sitting alone staring out

before her, when Lois came in.

motion towards getting the second

over to the stove herself.

tones made generous Alice suddenly
ashamed of the hard thoughts she'd
been harboring against her.
