little drama was being enacted that
was, in a sort of fashion, a duplicate
OF that happening in II other Ameri-
can homes.
A daughter had returned from the

mother were reading in the library.

was the conventional small talk that
usually occurs before daughter s
escort decides to say goodnight.

sharply and from out Of the night
stepped a telegraph boy. A wire for
daughter. A chill of expectancy ran
through the four people.

read in substance; report to the Long

The daughter read it aloud. Sur

And Marian Ivy Harris, the daugh-
ter who recently had made her debut
IN Atlanta society, burst into tears
and threw her arms around her par
epts and kissed them again and again.
And although the young man who had
