Ruth tried to read his thoughts.
1t hurt her to remember that he be-
= lieved this was the ring he had
given to Doris.
The pain returned to her with
greater force when she reached
home that night. Her mother sat in
the library by the reading lamp and
called to Ruth as she passed tire
door.
"See here, my dear~ her face
wreathed in smiles. THAT looks
well-doesn't it?"
She pointed to a paragraph on the
society page of the evening paper.
Leaning over her mothers shoulder
Ruth read:
MRS. James Courtney announces
the engagement of her daughter,
Doris, to Ralph Norton"
Then followed a few lines telling
whose son Ralph Norton was, etc.
It was the type of thing that
Ruth had read hundreds of times
about other engagements. She
caught her breath with an audible
gasp.
"Oh, mother! Already! How did it
get out? But, of course, you must
have sent the notice yourself to the
paper"
All Planned Ahead.
"And, why notT' her mother de-
manded, her face flushing darkly.
Hasn't mother right to an
nounce her daughters engage
ment?"
'Does Doris know OF this an
nouncement?'
''She does. Last night when, I
may remark, you were staying at
the Rodneys until near midnight,
Ralph. Doris, and had a long talk
in which you might have Joined IL
you had cared enough for your fam
lily to remain at home with them.
We decided then on the announce
ment of the engagement. It ought
to be made public, for, my dear,
here Is another surprise for you!
Ralph wants to be married very
soon"

boy, begged so hard for this that at

wrings my heart 60 part with my
little girl But Ralph promises to
take house near MS, and I shall see
my child every day. Nothing could
keep Doris from me, you know. for
she is singularly dependent upon
me.
"And. by the way" she hurried
on, "I wish you to arrange to give
your sister and me n good deal OF
your time during the next three
months. There is much to be done,
getting the troussenu, and so forth"
"I will do what 7 can" Ruth said

with some asperity. that you will
exert yourself to be sympathetic
with your sister in her preparations.
1t Is her due, please remember. She
can have this happiness only once In
her life, you know"
