half heartedly to her cousins warm
glances and chummy talk. Lola had
always puzzled her a little.
Since her fathers death five years
before, Lola had made her home with
her uncle, Roger Brooks. Her po-
sition in the household was that of
one of the family. Although depen-
dent upon her uncle's bounty. she en-
joyed the same privileges that were
accorded his daughter.

would be the black georgette. Lola

her throat; that black was especially

Don sprang up with alacrity as
the cousins entered. His eyes were
for Lola only.

quite casually. Just tinge of satire
edged her voice. But he's not much

question he asked upon his arrival

coat. He seemed as confused as a
miscreant school boy.

He recounted in detail the results

Diana listened with a rapt atten-

of listening with far-off look in her
eyes.

the way while some dirty work was
being contaminated. Teddy and I

tingly."
A tender note crept into Don's
voice as he uttered the name of the
girl who had saved his life.

Her Son Married

Dear Martha Lee: I am a very un-

BY realizing that your son is not a
possession of yours. Surely if you
truly love him, you can see that his
happiness would be considered first.
You can view this matter in two
ways: That you now have two chill

last conclusion would be foolish and
would not give -yoY the happiness
that the loving desire to take them
both to your heart would give you.

but feels that his inclination is over

Well, II you want to keep him,
Curly Locks, you're headed in the
wrong direction when you allow ex-
