 married and whose husbands would drive them out in their own cars.
 But it's quite problem for us un- attached members of the club," she said, laughing, land none of us could bear to miss seeing our beloved Catherine married"
 Even some of us who have husbands and cars are in a quandary," remarked Louise Fuller. "Canby will be out of town that evening, and so will your Jimmy, won't he?" She turned to Adelaide Hayslette, who nodded her head affirmatively.
 "Girrs,' I cried, Tets hire one of those big busses and all go out together. It will be a lark What do you say|
 Ut sounds delightful" said Polly Gray, but do you know anything about the service, Lucile?"
 i've heard how pleasant and con venient those busses are, and I'll ap- point myself a committee of one to find out all the details and submit the plan to you, if it is your pleasure"
 Ut certainly is," they nearly all ex- claimed at once, and felt glow of happiness in being able to do the dear old Dix Amies this favor.
 I found that arrangements could be made nicely. So 1reported to the club, and I was instructed to order the bus. I decided not to do so at once, as l thought it wiser not to have the order in too long in advance.
 The week of the wedding Dexter Eaines was calling at our house one evening, and he asked me to drive out to Glencoe with him. 1 was greatly 1 surprised, for I did not know that he was invited to the wedding.
 "Yes, indeed, Burling Preston and I are old shipmates," he said. "We were in the navy together during the war. Of course you must go to the wedding with me, Lucille. I should have asked you before, but wasn't sure that l should be in town"
 It flashed in my mind that there was really no reason for me to go in the bus with the Dix Amies, so I gratefully accepted the Dexter's invitation.
 We had q most delightful drive to Glencoe, and were among the first in the church. I was glad of that as I do like to have good seat at wedding The Dix Amies party did not come in until the very last minute before the ceremony. Indeed, am sure that their entrance delayed it for a moment, as the organist had already begun the "Loh- engrin" when they came bustling in.
 Why were you so late" l asked Louise at the reception at the brides home. "You girls should have timed your coming better. It was frightfully awkward"
 You, Lucille, should be the last one to comment on that" Louise always exercises what she considers the priv ilege of an old friend when she desires to criticize me, and says anything she wishes. You just about balled up the whole arrangement"
 What do you mean-'balled up? l detest slang"
 Well, I detest having any one fall down on anything the way you did about the bus. When you so suddenly turned the matter over to Polly Gray why didn't you telephone her instead of writing? Then you would have discov- cred that she was out of the city. She came home this afternoon and found your letter and it was only by fluke that she could secure the bus at this late date. And you didn't send any schedule of the places to call, and she spent a frantic two hours phoning the girls. As it was, we almost lost Ur- sula Moore, for she went down to your house, as you had asked her to do, to start from there, and you were gone and she didn't know what to do. For tunately she reached me by telephone before the bus called at our house. The girls are all furious at you"
 That was all the appreciation I re- ceived for thinking of the bus for the Dix Amies, I suppose the fact is they were all jealous because Dexter took me out in his beautiful car.
