A stately villa of gray stone set
far back from the street toward
the river bank and shielded from
prying eyes by a tall English
wall. Even the gates were
screened by casual clumps Of pine
and cedar.

Emily thought of her mother

There was the blue dress Agnes

Emily had felt when she put it
on and how fearful when she
left school in the rain. covering

she neared home a car came tear

If lightning had struck Sally

With a dazed little smile she
left him standing alone in the
room, where the fragrance Of the

for years-but because he stood
for her ideal Of the Perfect

AS she started out from her
modest home the thought Of him

The fine, joyous sweetness of
him-the jaunty charm. They
had been friends nearly four
years however since the day
of the party when he called her

her cheek in his laughing way.
Nothing could take from her
the friendliness he had given.
Something of protectiveness-
there was the night he had hap.
pened along when Marty Nolan
had backed her against a hedge
and was tormenting her.
Emily whispered, Kent" and
stood sobbing while they fought.
1t was an uneven match; Marty
was wide and solid and used to
rough and tumble encounters. He
hit out once or twice, turned and
fled while Kent rocked giddily
and pressed a handkerchief to q

grinned. Don't cry. He wont
come back-oh. you're scared.
Going home? I'll just walk with
you"
He picked up her books
caught her hand all coy and
aughing-walked up the hill to
her door.
And the next day when Ole
Etickney, the principal, had him
in, bent upon dealing out ade-
Quate punishment to any who had
offered violence to a Rossiter,
Kent refused to speak.
And when they read "1dylls OF
the King" in class Emily kept
seeing the son of the Rossiters in
Galahad, the knight sans peur
ct sans reproche.''
But on the night Of the class
play when. he came toward her
across the dimmed stage, eyes all
softly lighted. a smile lifting the
beautiful, full-cut lips, it was the
dashing, romance of Launcelot
that rushed piercingly into her
thoughts.
She was like pale rose
touched by moonlight. all in white
with her fluff of hair shimmering.
Agnes Day had cut up her we'd
ding dress to make the little
frock; many weary hours had
gone into fashioning its slender
grace.
Now Kent looked at her, bend.

her home. she refused him in a
kindly way and he turned without
q word.
Standing before the high, old
fashioned mirror, she would run
the comb through her hair
brush it down till each pale curl
seemed to catch and hold a liv-
ing glow. And she would whisper.
Sweet-he said was sweet.
Little white flower"
She wondered if this was love.
Had girl as poor as she the
right to love anyone like Kent?
AS she swung along, the past
few years marched in review.
There was her mother struggling
to make ends meet, trying to give
her an education and trying to
keep a rein on her flaming sis.
