 mery Decembers which come now and A then to make us forget to be envious of our friends in Florida or overanxious about the price of fuel. At Magnolia Beach, the haay gold of the sunlight lay over the mead ows and thoroughfares with a sort of en- chanted hush and the surf broke on the long, level strand in sleepy whispers Ruth Harvey took a deep breath of the sea air, as she walked down the sandy road from the little flag station, two days before Christmas, her piquant face sparkling with pleasure and anticipation. After being shut up for weeks in the city, the prospect of vacation in the open was keen delight, and the business college, with its atmosphere of filing cabinets, percentages and short hand, seemed suddenly unconvincing and far away. Not that Ruth would have owned up to homesickness; that was inconsistent with her earnest young conviction that to succeed one must go forth into the "world,' typified by the biggest city within reach, and meet the realities of life. Perhaps she couldn't have defined the realities off hand; so far she had met only host of tedious and uninspiring details. Doubtless the exhilaration of a business career would come later, when she had reached that en- viable height known as a position. Today she was content to let the subtle charm of Magnolia envelop her, body and mind.
 The marshes had donned their winter grays and tans, and the cedars had grown a bit rusty; but as she entered the strip of dune-sheltered woodland, there was stir of life that almost suggested early spring. Frogs in the pool uttered sleepy croaks and chuckles, much more amusing than the clack of typewriters, and there was a sec ond crop of plumb little buds on the sassa- fras and blueberry bushes. Ruth sniffed eagerly. at the damp, woodsy smell, nicely blended with cedar smoke from some ones chimney, and found it very good. At turn in the path, which wound through the holly grove, her face frightened and she waved her hand in greeting to a young coast guard, who was approaching from the op- posite direction. People usually did look glad to see Owen Winslow, with his pleas ant, strong featured, boyish face, and alert, we'll set up figure Owen was swinging along briskly, but at sight of the girl he quickened his steps still more, and eagerly L Il.
