"Young lady, you don't seem to know
that these days are very precious TO
you They will not come again"
Then, in the old fashion of womei
who have suddenly come out of mo
ment of affectlonate anger, they fell t
weeping in each others arms TIL,
storm was over when they heard tn,

| Phyllis fed into the bathroom.

the door. i've found out what's the
matter with Phyllis. It's nerves.

II think it will be great" said Phyl-
lis, who suddenly emerged from her
h!ding-r,ace and embraced her father.
I'D love it! I'm sick of this old town.
I'm sure it's just-what | need

Bins. 81 simply must go to Mrs. De
lanes luncheon
"Then I'll ask Harriet to go up with
her" said J. Patterson.
Harriet, who lived in a fiat on the
upper west side, was Mrs, Bing's Sis
ter.
Phyllis went to bed dinnerless with
headache. Mr.. and Mrs. Bling sat
for long time over their coffee and
cigarettes.
ITS something too dreadful that
Phyllis should be getting sick just at
the. wrong time" said the madame.
"She has always been well. l can't
understand it."
"She's had a rather strenuous time
here" said J. Patterson.
"But she seemed to enjoy it until
until the right man came along. The
very man l hoped would like her!
Then, suddenly, she throws up her
hands and keels over. It's too devil
ish for words.
Mr.. Bing laughed at his wife's ex-
ASPIRATION.
ITO me it's no laughing matter"
said she with a serious face.
perhaps she doesn't like the boy"
j. Patterson remarked.
Mrs. Bing leaned toward him and
whispered, "She adores him" She
held her attitude and looked search
in@ly into her husbands face.
'AVell, you can't say did it," he an
swered. "The modern girl is rather
delicate piece of machinery. l think
she'll be all right in a week or two.
Come, it's time we went to the theater
if we're going"
Nothing more was said OF the mat
ter. Next morning Immediately after
breakfast, "Aunt Harriet" set out with
Phyllis in the big limousine for Doc
tor Gibbs sanitarium.
Phyllis found the remedy she need
frolic. Her spirit washed in the glow
ing air found refreshment in the sleep
that follows WEAKNESS and good di-
gestion. Her health improved so Wis
IDLY that her stay was far. prolonged.
1t was the first week of May when
Mrs. Bing drove up to get her. The
girl was in perfect condition, it would
seem. No rustic maid, in all the noun
tain valleys, had lighter feet or clearer |
eyes or a more honest, ruddy tan in
her face, due to the touch of the clean |
wind. She had grown as 1.-the and |
strong as q young panther.
They were going back to Bingville |
next Cay. Martha and Susan had been
getting the house ready. Mrs. Bling |
had been preparing what she fondly |

Phyllis. Roger Deiane was coming
up ~ spenu quiet week with the
Bings-a week of opportunity for the
young people, with saddle horses and |
a new steam launch and a Peterbor-
ough canoe and all pleasant accesso-
ries. Then, on the twentieth, which
was the birthday of Phyllis there was
to be a dinner and house party and
possibly an announcement and pref
ty wagging of tongues. Indeed, j.
Patterson had already bought the we'd
ding gift, a necklace of pearls, and
paid a hundred thousand dollars for it
and put it away in his safe. The neck
lace had pleased him. He had seen
many jewels, but nothing so satisfying
nothing that so well expressed his
for his daughter. He might
never see its like again. So he bought
t against the happy day which he
hoped was near. He had shown it to
lis wife and charged her to make no
mention of it until "the time was
