Hold her head, Mary Rose!
She's got to drink this"
Mary Rose took the fluffy
blond head between her hands,
and held it firmly while Tom
made her drink every drop OF
the mustard water.
Some one knocked on the door,
and Alice James flew to open 1t.
The proprietor, a stout greasy
little man with black mustache,
stood frowning at them.

He stopped abruptly as a wild
shrek of laughter rose in the
room nearest them. Then came
the sound OF girls high voice
saying shrilly: And what time
does the big red car leave for
Oshkogh?" Then more laughter.
Mary Rose turned TO Tom and
shook him by both shoulders.
Did you hear that?" she asked
with a sort OF sob. 1T is Flos-

With a single movement. she
reached the door, pushed it open
and stood on the threshold. Three
people sitting at the table looked
up at her with startled eyes

man whom Mary Rose had never
seen before.

just then her eyes fell upon FIos-

Hilary Dexter and the unknown
man had risen to their feet. They
didn't seem to know what to do
whether to go or to stay.
Mary Rose met the eyes. Of
the president OF the Variety

glance swept the table. It was
Uttered with bits OF food, empty
glasses and ginger ale bottles.
A gold vanity case marked the
place where F1ossie had been sit

Just then Flossie opened her
eyes and saw Mary Rose.
''Rosey," she said in a high,
unnatural voice, take me home.

Mary Rose went to her then,
put her arms around her, and
smoothed the little gold curls
back from her forehead. Under
her hand it was cold and damp
with perspiration.
All the anger she had felt
toward Flossie went out of her,
as the little sister looked up at
her with half-shut eyes.
