Misunderstanding outfits. Most of

suspected that they didn't play golf

q sort of punishment, and only the
stupid drew the sentence.
They were sitting at n Of the
many tables spread over the wide
veranda Of the "Casino." which
housed a restaurant. reading rooms
and the golf lockers. Larry was
looking over the menu. When the
waiter appeared, he ordered glasses,
ice and white rock, and drawing a
flask from his pocket, he said:
"Well, let's drink to the next mile
stone in the old honeymoon" and
filled two glasses.
Byrd wished that Larry wouldn't

times in an effort to be a 'good

never forgot her personal appear

f1attening out her marcel.
If only her hair were naturally
curly! And if that was asking too
much, why hadn't God been good
enough to give her hair that would
keep a marcel for weeks, as some
girls would?

But Bob was different! I'm going

Shoot the workS!" Bob laughed,
but Faith, who knew him SO well,
saw that he was irritated.
His blue eyes, half-amused, half
contemptuous, exchanged a glance
with Cherry, who was wholly bored
and scornful.
WELL" Crystal rearranged her
printed chiffon skirt, so that little
more knee showed, then laced her
pretty white fingers under her chin
and looked up archly at Bob.
Bob spent part of his vacation
with us-Dad was living then, and
we had the most gorgeous old
homestead, big farm, and every
thing. Mother simply adored Bob,
although she was only his aunt
by marriage, and I think she
wished there was no reason why
first cousins shouldn't marry,
when Bob declared I was his little
sweetheart and beaued me around
to all the country dances and pic
MICS and things.

She paused and Rod asked her why
she didn't belbieve he had stolen
the jewels.

And I got you into this"
But if you don't notify the po-

pointed out to her.

Lila shrugged. II know Cy bet

Rod WINGED. "But he's got to
