Philip picked up newspaper

glance at the headings. Leila
bored him when she got started.
They went up together to Vaca-
Vile few days later. Leila was
anxious to meet his people. She
had heard much about them from
Lucy as well as from her hus-~
band. and she had exchanged
several letters with Mrs. Baldwin.
Harry met them at the station
and was frankly dazzled by Leila's
magnificence. They all were. Even

strange lady with the beautiful
elothes, and the earrings she wore
in the daytime. Philip. too, i'm

him troubled their uncle. He
wanted them to be friendly, to
climb on his knee, to tell him OF
their affairs. but he did not know
how to unbend. to overcome their
awkwardness or his own. He was
as much embarrassed and as self.
conscious as they were. He placed
shining quarters in their hesitat- !

them TO buy themselves hcorice
