tawdry little house, this cheap suburb! What
insolence to think he could put thing like

She drew the expertly tailored coat close
about her, with one of those patrician gestures
that were as natural to her as impossible to

so much! She was through with him, after
this humiliation. The tears SWelled and grew
violent in her throat as she opened the door
and looked out on the silent little street.
Up and down its length she gaze at it. 1t
was incredibly strange to be here. Yet every
thing had suddenly become strange. Her
fathers house seemed intellectually distant, re-
mote and uncomforting. She didn't want to go
back there alone, have them ask her, be forced
to tell them.
Forgetting the open door, she turned back
into the hving-room, where Cornelius had

Through the glaze of angry tears the odd
setting of the room came to her; the old pieces
of furniture. The odor of roses arrested her,
and, as she turned, she saw them spreading
gloriouSly from the stem of the milk bottle.
Suddenly strange feeling of pride came
over her, but it was not the kind common to
Olive Mary. Not the consciousness of being a
Tillsbury, but that proud glow that comes only
to women who are cared for because they are
beloved. All her life, people had taken care
of Olive Mary in luxury and yet never like this
not with this sense of her glory, as the roses
showed; not with this eagerness to work for her
warmth her shelter.
Money had come easily to the Tillsburys for
several generations, but Olive Mary was no
fool, and she knew it had not come easily here.
Spreading over her discontinue and the humil-
iation of the little house came the erasing sense
that this was her own this and all it stood
for, home born Of personal love for her, raw,
unf1edged, needing care and needing her.

THE EVENING STORY
The japanese Cabinet.

~ ALLIE stood at the end of the
long winding drive uncertainty.
After ell, why should she go up
~ there to that house on the side
of the hill? She was not on
calling terms with Mrs. Frazier. Indeed,
the only time she had ever been within
the house was the day that there had
been a parent-teacner meeting there.
, and as for Mrs. Frazier's son, Rod
Frazier-well, Sallies cheeks burned
even now as she thought of him!
Horrible boor! True. he didn't look
like boor, nor yet did act like one 20
any one else. But with her-Sallie
shrugged and walked on two or three
steps.
After reaching the end Of the
grounds, though, she turned back res
olutely. After all, pettiness or being
little" about things was something by
Sallie despised, and what difference
did it make how polite or otherwise
Rod Frazier might bel
Bus as she climbed the steep path
to The hillside house she could not
help remembering the way he had
acted about the Christmas party. All
the teachers had been asked to attend
the party.
"Fod, you can take sallie Piper"
Maj :orie Gray had said when they
had been planning who should go with
whom. "Thatn fix us all up 1ne!"
And Sallie had waited for Rod to
speak to her about going with him,
had waited one day, two days, three
days. week! AS the time for the
part9 came near she wondered whether
or rot he had meant Marjorie Gray's
words to stand as an invitation. That
might be the strange custome out in
this little town where she had come
to teach the kindergarten! If it were
the custom, Sallie thought wryly, it
was not to her liking at all!
Eft when the evening of the party
arrived Sallie had heard nothing from
Rod. It was we'll along after 8 o'clock
that he rang the bell where she boarded
and brought with him beautiful five
pound box of candy, tied with gay
red ribbons and sealed with gold seals.
Nonchalantly he had sat down and
they had talked of everything it seemed
to Sallie, under the sun and moon
except the party. And to that he
made no reference.
And because she had not gone to
the party, none Of the other teachers
in the school talked Of 1t to her, al
though she saw much less of those
! other teachers than they saw Of one
another, and this was because her
little youngsters were dismissed at IL
O'Clock instead of IL and at the hour
of 3 instead of 4. Time has passed
since this party, but Sallie's face yet
famed when she thought about it!
II saw the notice, Mrs Frazier" she
said, when she sat with Rods mother
in the long living room. about the
selling of your household furniture.
You're not going to part with that
japanese cabinet. are you?"
Mrs. Frazier nodded without speak
ing for moment. Then she replied
Everything is to be sold. my dear.
The house has already been sold and
We are moving to the city!'
"Oh!" said Sallie. I'm sorry!"
And !, too" said Mrs Frazier, with
a smile that seemed infinitely sad to
!
