 CHATTER NNNI1T
 Lily never had had q really good look at Elizabeth Ertz before.
 And now. as she stood in the door way only few feet from her sh" was surprised to sco that she was much prettier than she had thought her.
 Her prettiness was the gentle kind that you have to look for twice 70 sec at ala prettiness that came from Eliza beth's wide, soft eyes and the shape of her gentle mouth. She looked as if she were as good as gold.
 You can just sec that she never did q mean thing in her liro," Lily said to herself, playing q low card when she should have played q high ona. And that's the meanest thing about her. Shes a oodygoody."

She knows my children have had the measles and I haven't been abl" to get out. So she offers to come over to the hous" for q day or two, Who else would think of doing such a nice fhing?"
 "Wcll. she gets her board and room free, doesn't she. when she's at your house ?' asked Lily. who re- fused 70 see anything good in the little nurse. "I think shes pretty clever, that's what I think,"
 She did not sit down at the card table again, but ran upstairs for hor coat. .. It was late. and she was bored to tears with the party, anyway. All these women making q fuss over q silly little nurse, as if she actually were somebody,
