Now 1t looked as though 1t belonged
there.
She gave pleased sigh Of self
satisfaction and went over TO the
bureau to look in at her pretty face
She could see reflected as well. her
soft gray walls with its gay back. Star

as though she did not belong-as
though-she continued to look in at
her surprised, pretty face with the

always been-she looked long and re-
sentfully about her; something was

Suddenly She saw it. She did not be-

She came back an hour later with a
white package crushed under her arm
and when she had arrayed herself in
the simple heavy silk blouse Of tailored
cut she knew she was q changed be-

charming clothes he wondered why he
had never noticed her before
"Pm sorry, but l don't own the
frame, and haven't any sister," he
apologized; and then, as he saw her
eyes widen with dismay. he added,

"Oh, yes; I've seen plenty Of girls

Nellie Dwight crushed the turquoise
frame against her heart as she re-
