 So next night he came in to report again. The lady had given him an evening all to himself (except for three phone calls in the other room) but he had gone away earlier than he meant to. He and Rosabel tried to figure out why, over the lemonade pitcher.
 Perhaps" Rosabel suggested presently, "She subtly made you. I read a novel yes terday where the heroine subtly made peo- pie do things. The lady you pay attention to must be lil0 a book-person. wish I wasp
 "Why, you're not grown up yet, child?" said Gerald. "When you're as old as she is"
 But he couldn't imagine R bel being like the lady, even if she was 5., and mar ried-married- d-married- d-nonsense!
 "She's 26," said Rosabel dreamily. "Mother remembers" Twenty-six! She had been born four years, then, when-never mind. Whatswere four years!
 "You think she really likes me, Rosy?" he asked eagerly.
 "Why, of course" said Rl sabel. "How could anyone help it?" And Gerald felt better.
 The next night he spent at the lady's had something new about it; or rather, some thing new not about 1t. James good old

 Mr.. and Mrs. Williams were so frankly dismayed that Tom put his garage plans in his pocket and set himself the sk of ar guing them into better attitude toward their daughter.
 'Im ashamed" said Mrs. Williams, gag ing at the door out of which the two gay scaliwags had just gone in such high glee.
 "Well you have no right to be-" Tom grew firm, Virginia is a fine, tight sor' of girl, I oughtn't to have to tell this to you.''
 "But she has pack of young cubs prowling around after her, Father began.
 Tom laughed. "Why shouldn't they prowl? She's worth prowling for, I'll sayv'
 "But it's the way she treats them," said mother.
 'Let me tell you two people something" Tom stood up and went at his argument. They looked at him in open pride. He was the sort they liked; he was their kind of young man, sensible, business-like, mature he didn't wear wasplike clothes and sing and dance around instead of talking like hu- man being.
 And all the while he was drawing a pie ture of the "bad girl' of the day. Why" he said, "you two wouldn't know one of these real nasty ones by sight. They've changed their colors completely since you were youngsters. But there isn't line of bad in Virginia. Virginia? She's as near a saint as they make lem; and you two had better find out the difference and believe it. Kissing the boys good-by? Of course, she did? Whats the harm in that?"
 He did not leave them until they were comforted. He filled them with faith in their own, not a difficult task unusually, until they had began to be ashamed that they had ever questioned Virginia.
 Nevertheless they stayed up for her.

Mrs. Williams took nap on the sofa in the far alcove, but MT. Williams sat before the grate in the library and thought. And then he, too, dozed.
 Voices on the porch awakened him. He recognized Virginia's bubbling low laugh. The stiffness of the night made him know 1t was quite late, probably after 1 o'clock. Virginia and her young man, he thought apprehensively. 'I don't like that fellow,'' he whispered. More quiet, intimate laugh ter. Anger seized him. What did these young fools mean, prowling around his fine young girl at all hours of the morning; kissing, probably, and heavens knows what! His father would have stepped right out there and sent that young man about his business. He knew he didn't dare do that himself, and fumed over the fact.
 Virginia tripped suddenly into the library. "Fathery' she whispered "are you awake?"
 She raised her left hand and displayed a shining ring. Hike it?" she asked mys- teriously.
 My Godv' he calculated. The remark brought mother into the scene.
 Virginia ran to the porch and called, Father says it's all right. He's awake. Come in and help me break the news.'
 Father stared at the figures in the door way. "Tomv' he cried. ''You don't mean it's Tom!'
 "Sure it's Tom," said Virginia. "Who else?" A light came to her face. "You don't mean to say," she gasped incredu- lously "You haven't known it for years and years?'
 They hadn't even had the glimmer of guess!
 "Oh, but we're so glad it's Tom,' the mother cried.
 "Just listen at the dear old pokies" said Virginia to Tom. Then she kissed him-a careful and deliberate kiss.
 Refined, double X," remarked Tom judicially.

In the calm, restful library MT. and Mrs. Williams were obviously agitated. "I will speak to Virginia myself, directly she comes down. MT. Williams persisted firmly :: "These carryings-on have gone too far.'
 Mrs. Williams tried to calm him." But l am not sure, James. I could not see very well in the dark; and I was not trying to eavesdrop. Please don't say anything just now, not when she is going out to the fra ternity dance"
 Kissing boys good-byp' he fumed "What is this generation coming top
 Eventually Mrs. Williams succeeded in exacting a promise that he would wait. Customs were different, she argued. "But decency has not changed, I hopew he broke in.
 "Of course, if they were engaged" the mother tried.
 "How could she be engaged to half dozen college boys," he came back indig- nantly; there's at least that many dog ging about after her, taking her here and there and heaven knows where! And this lad who is inviting her to the dance tonight, what do we know about him? Girls nowa- days don't seem-''
 ring at the door stopped his speech. Tom Seybert's voice was heard in the hall. They frightened up at the sound. Tom was town boy, out of school several years, a steady business sort
 "Why couldn't she settle down with some good solid man like Tom Seybert," the father asked in lowered tones.
 Tom had dropped in to talk over the plans of an in-town garage which a group of the suburban men were thinking of man. aging comparatively. Oh, no; he was not going to the fraternity dance.
 My dancing days are over," he said. They joined in his laugh; he was only 24; but they beamed on him in open admira- ton.
 "Tom," Mir. Williams asked abruptly. "What do you think of girls kissing boys good-by?"

harmless James-was sitting around the same old way. But Derrison wasn't there at aF. Somewhere, way down in his mind that worried him. Derrison was such a devil-he might even be bothering poor lit- tie innocent Rosabel, instead of letting her alone in her hammock with her innocent, pretty dreams about the wonderful thing Tn June the dreams she was always so willing to break off to talk to Gerald about his lady. T-1 have to leave early tonight he explained to the lady. "An-an engage ment I've just remembered
 He strode home, wondering if he could be right about Derrison. Gerald always believed in presentiments after that, be- cause, there on the porch with Rosabel and the lemonade sat Derrison, destroyer of happiness And evidently being talked .o by Rosabel with pleasure. Not content with the lady, here the brute was, bothering poor little Rosabel. Gerald sat down on his cushion and reached up after Rosabeps hand. He would show Derrison that he had the rights of brother.
 But he couldn't. Both little hands were in Rosabel's lap And binding thought struck Gerald It was June-the second of June. And-was it possible that Rosabel, being young and foolish, might take Der rison for wonderful thing? You never can tell about woman, even one you've lived next door to for 10 years"
 He and Derrison-it seemed anony- mously customary-went down the porch

'Fatherv' admonished Mrs. Williams.
 "That's all right, mother" he waved a hand a. her. "Im not mentioning cases"
 Tom smiled; enough had been said to tell him exactly what the case was. "What do I think of it?" he asked. "It depends on who's doing it."
 'Now, see here, Tom," said MT. Williams, "all fooling aside, you know you yourself wouldn't"
 "Oh, wouldn't II" Tom laughed.
 A three-cornered debate, warm and full of interruptions, finally disclosed to the as tonished elders that Tom, the dependable Tom, had no adverse criticism to make on the custom that was so shocking to the older generation.
 In the midst of it Virginia danced down the steps. She listened in 6a;;-a.ght while she daintily powdered her nose.
 "The nice old pokesw she laughed, hug ging her mother to her. "It's nothing more than shaking hands," she crooned, rocking her mother back and forth. "And it de- pends a lot on what brand you use. There are all sorts of grades, like sugar; aren't they, Tommy"
 "All the way from coarse lump to re- fined double X'" he nodded
 "But if you were engaged or married"- the mother began helplessly.
 "Oh," Virginia drawled it out feliciously, "then you'd keep all the sugar for home consumptionv'
 The roll of car and ring announced the arrival of Virginia's partner to the dance In moment he was in the library, a strikingly handsome youth.
 "Isn't he beautiful, people?" Virginia stroked his slick hair admiringly. "All us girls are just crazy about him."
 Unabashed the handsome youth held out his arms to Virginia and sang:
 "All the girls have lost their e.

 She stepped into his arm and danced de- lightfully within the space of square yard, while she took up the verse.

 "Why, of course notv' said Rosabel, reaching down her hand as quickly and po- litely as if it had been a drink of water. She'd be awfully sweet when she grew up. 'eTell me about it,. she said.
 Rosabel was the best little eonfidante in the world. You could always be sure she never told any other fellow what you told her. So Gerald, on his cushion by her ham, mock, told her all about old James, and Der rison with his confounded interfering con- stel.,tions.
