Then l went io a department store. at. traeted by m advertisement Of ador. able suits for small boys.

60 ON MYTH THE STORY

T couldn't do that The words came in matter of fact tone. Alice was merely stating a condition. She couldn't impose upon the kindness of Sing Loy and she expected no credit for not doing so.
 T think must get little of that from my mother" Alice continued. T had wonderful mother"
 Tell me about her." Kate was sur prised at the mention of Alice's moth CT, for Alice somehow gave one the impression Of being quite detached from the remainder of the world. It was hard to think of her as part of any family.
 My mother" Alice began. and then stopped to smile reminiscently. Show l remember the last time l saw her!-was born on plantation in Virginia. Ii must have been a beau- tiful place because l remember her showing me pictures of it when I was little; pictures Of herself, too, and she was beautiful.
 Her home" Alice went on. must have been the kind of place where ElTi Hds tNtrytHlnS SH' lttuS anu wants. Mother was the only daugh- ter and Of course that made her even more of pet than she might have been otherwise.
 .'She was'scnt north to school. And when she came back she was en- gagged to someone--someone the whole family approved of and thought quite good enough for her.
 "Mother never told me about that part. I learned it from things my father said. And l don't know just how the rest happened. but anyhow mother broke her engagement and ran away with my father, and my father was just bandit-an outlaw"
 Alice was silent for quite a space Kate. too. refrained from speaking.

The suffix Junior" is not generally used on a woman's calling cards, but sometimes it Is necessary. For eX- ample. if a woman whose husband bears the same name as his father lives in the same town as the senior couple, it is required to avoid con- fusion. \ The mother-in-law does not use the suffix Senior unless widowed, in which case she does so if she continues to use her late hus- bands full name, while the daugh- ter-in-law drops the Junior" from her cards.
