CHAPTER 'CXI.
had forgotten all about the
motoring party Carol Blackjack
was to give, and that Tom had
promised to go. But as we work
ed, something Tom said recalled
lit.
where did you go?" I asked.
Down on Long Island, to Long
Beach" he replied as he lifted a
heavy picture off the hook and
set it down for me to dust,
How many went?"
'"ren in all"
'Tell me about it, did you have
good time?"
Fine! Blackjack always does
things up brown, you know"
Who made up the party? Do
/ know them all?" At my ques-
ton Tom flushed, and l was at
once suspicious. But he answered.:
"Oh, the usual bunch Blackjack
takes out"
What do you man by the usu-
al bunch? Was Vivian Morton
along?
yes"
We'll, who else?"
What a question mark you
are, Sue, when you get started
He had two men from the west,
Brown, myself and four women.
Please move that chair so that l
can put this picture down"
What were the women's
names?" / asked as l moved the
chair.
"Oh, one was Miss Morton,
then Miss Huntley, the artist"
"Who else?"
miss Coleman and Miss
Riggs" Tom snapped. Then, IF
you have finished quizzing me,
perhaps you will take this pic
ture," and he handed it to me.
Second Thoughts.
so Miss Coleman was invited"
| | said as calmly as l could
Strange they always invite her
when you are along. isn't it?"
II don't think so. Had you been
at home she would not have
been asked, but your not going
made an odd number, so Black
lock asked her."
l said nothing further. l was
far from satisfied, but ! also did
not wish another quarrel with
Tom. l wanted a lot of new
things for the apartment, and
the motor ride was all over. l
would not forget it. however, l
thought, even if / did appear to
be letting Tom off easily. | was
intensely jealous of Miss Coleman
by this time, and was determined
to stop her intimacy with Tom.
How l did not know-yet
We worked busily until ten
o'clock, then I made a rarebit.
Tom was quite jolly, and l was
glad | had not said anything
more anent Miss Coleman. Helen
| and Walter came down just as
the rarebit was finished and stay
ed until midnight.
eve certainly shall miss them"
Tom said as he closed the door
when they left.
Yes, but we shall be much
more comfortable" replied.
"And we shall be able to return
some of the social debts we owe"
of we hadn't moved / was
planning to go away for two
weeks. Somewhere in the coun-
TRY where we could all go. Now
guess we better stay in town.
You and l will skip off Friday
night occasionally and stay until
Sunday. That is if you can leave
the baby with Norah."
''That will be fine. Norah is
perfectly trusty, and the baby Is
as good with her as she is with
me-"
II think it a bully plan. Per-
haps we will enjoy it as we'll as
if we took regular vacation.
Next year we'll plan ahead to get
away Tor a month"
A Busy Interval.
Toms good nature did not de-
sert him, though he worked very
hard getting ready to move. He
sent barrels and boxes up and
spent all his evenings packings
BY the time the two rooms were
prepared, and the new apartment
cleaned we were all ready to
move in.
We were delighted with our
new home. 1t was all and more
than We had expected. The rooms
