Millie?" 1t was unbelievable.
Why, John Nye was in love with
Millie! She knew that.
Mabel nodded. HE certainly
did. And Miss Kress says that
she wasn't the least bit surprised.
He had been furious with Millie
for weeks because she never was
down at the office on time, and
she would go out to lunch and
stay for two hours, and she
stayed home at least one day
every week"
Sally frowned perplexedly. All
this was quite beyond her. She
couldn't figure it out to save
her life. Millie had said only
the week before that John Eye
was wildly in love with her, and
that the reason he stayed away
from The House by the Side of
the Road was because he was
jealous Of Davy Davidson.
Perhaps he's jealous of David

Emily's frocks were beautiful.
But that was because Mrs.
Haiden gave her odds and ends
OF silks left over in the shop.
1t took very little material to fit
her out, and Emily had learned
how to make things for herself.
She gladly would have shared
these with Kitten. But Mrs.
Haiden designed each one and
took such an interest in the max.
ing of it that she never felt free
to pass it along.
Kitten continually cmoplained
about the difference in their
wardrobes. And now she was
asking her mother to spend

so admired.
