Grace Poole. So it was romantic to
forgive and love him.
She took a vow about it all and
wrote in her dairy: why should
any one be so shallow and care for
what others think? Why did / hurt
the best friend we have TO win the
good grace of mere casual like Con-
mic? / will not be swayed by public
opinion again. Never"
One other thing made it easy for
Nora Lee to look with kind, tolerant
eyes on all who love. Romance deli
cate and light whirred with pcarly
wings about her. Her mind was
filled with dreams, with vague. sweet
iOngings.
These focused always on face-a
young, merry face with deep set,
twinkling eyes and such a manly
chin. Nora Lee thought Dane Her
rick the handsomest, noblest, finest
thing in the world.
She had met him twice at Con-
MES. He was a freshman at col.
lego. When she went walking with
Margaret she thought of him. She
would say to herself: "As though he
would look at me with all the stun
ming girls on the campus. j sup
pose he thinks I'm too young. Oh, if
1 weren't such homely person"
She searched the mirror for some
traces of beauty. Margaret caught
her. She said: Il have a sore eye. :"
Margaret burst out laughing. She
said, teasing: You're coming around,
my dear - you'll be lovely-never
fear"
The dance was on Saturday. An.
drew came and brought her a string
of the tiniest of seed pearls. They just
set off the dress.
Both of them looked at her. She
said humbly: IF L were only
pretty"
Andrew whistled: Hell think you
are! I'll lay a dollar on that"
Her heart flushed. She was step.
ping into the world of youth and
gaiety. She was leaving Margaret
and the old ways the old stand
ards
But this she did not know.
