CHAPTER LXXIV
For the hundredth time Judith
draped the gauzy curtains. The
room was ready for its enchanting

morning.
Half OF the dresser drawers were
cleared for her and half Of the
hooks In the closet.
Wen have a pip Of time"
Judith thought, gazing delightedly at
the windows, done after q sketch
she had admired in one of those
magazines about "homes beautiful"
Brilliant cretOnne shades and over
these Turing wells Of silver wolfe that
toned in with the soft gray walls,
the whole offering a mellow back
ground for the fine old rosewood
bed and dresser.
This set had come around the
Horn when the McNeils were in the
heyday OF their glory. It was great
ly priced by Judith's mother, but
when the craze for painted furni-
ture was at It's height the two older
girls refurnished on the installment
plan, The fine old antiques were
pushed contemptuously to the base
ment whence they were quietly res
cued by Judith.
They looked quainter and more

they didn't like the nile green and
bricky yellow tinting let them close
their eyes or move!
So Judith bought several packages
of alabastine, experimenting until
she had Il faint warmth of lavender
in the color.
And Douglas came over to help
They took one Of the leaves from
the dining room table, set it on two
ladders. With the can OF tinting
between them they set to work.

Judith pulled on o great pair of
gloves and laughed with a bound Of
joy.

thrilling: SPY the same token. Doug,
you mast care a heck Of lot for
me, else why give up three nights
all in a row.
They talked Of so many things
love and when to get married, and
how much a fellow needs and if the
girl should keep on working. Judith
was sorry when the room was fin
ished.
Now she went over to the closet
There was a little window here. And
1t looked into the kitchen Of the fiat
next door. Very often Judith stood
at this window, hiding behind her
coat when one Of her sisters came
into the room.
II was O'Clock. In this next
door kitchen a small, thin woman
with a sweet, earnest face, washed
the dishes. And boy with a young,
rollicky look picked up three plates
at once, wiping them absently.
He talked. Something great and
exciting must have happened, be-
case he hunched his head between
MS shoulders and laughed joyously.
Once Judith heard: Gee whiz-
think Of it, En-
Then he showed those white teeth
in fine, boyish grin. Judith drew
q long, signing breath and closed
her eyes against sudden tears How
clean and young-oh, how glorious
he was!
Any one else looking would have
seen but a nice, bonny lad OF "a

fine, hazel eyes, a nose turned up
just a little at the very tip and a
square, manly chin. He had plenty
