pleasantly and his voice broke the
silent evening.

at him she understood why Laura had
spoken of his eyes and his voice and
his smile.
"Oh yes, Polly said and could lind
nothing else to add. Her mind was
suddenly a blank, and around her
heart was fhat cold stone wall that
shut her aw,y from men.
The door Was open and Polly, lit
tie breathlessly ran up the steps and
plunged into The yellow stream OF
light. Laughing voices and greetings,
flowers, music and butterfly frocks sur
rounded her, and for a moment she
felt part of it. Then she saw Doris
lift her eyelaShes TO the new man,
jamie was dimpling, hnd the next mo.

Only when the time came for sand

passed napkins and salad plates and
sank at last into dark corner of
the porch did she breathe sigh OF
relief She could slip across the lawn
and tell her mother she had had "a

Polly was about to say, "Oh no,

herself telling him things that sur
