Connie went to answer it. Most of
the calls came in were for her.

yelled from the hall and put down
the receiver with an impatient
bang. Wouldn't it be just like Pa
mela Judson to call up when Mil
dred had a new boy friend!"
Pamela's unexpected calls and
sudden demands upon Mildred's
time were bitterly resented by Con-
ME, who considered that Pamela
took advantage of her sister.
Mildred had a foreboding of what
was to come.
But I've only just got home"
Stephen heard her say. st was de-
layed and 1 can't possibly go out
again tonight. Can't you get some
body else?"
Evidently the person at the other
end of the wire had plenty to say.
1t must have been convincing, too,
for after a while Mildred agreed,
YEARLY, to do whatever it was that
Pamela needed her for.
She came back to Stephen in a
little flush of temper. He thought
it most becoming to her.
1--we got to go down to the hotel
this evening"" she said apologetic-
ally.
Stephen rose. May I go with
you?" he asked.
ooh, not before dinner" she as
sured him. There's plenty of time"
Dinners ready now" her mother
called from the dining room.

the neck to go to blazing. :.
"Connie!"
Connie subsidized.

DAMELA wants me to be at the

mother. 1.-THE Junior dance. They
don't want anyone to crash it.
But what can you do?" her
mother questioned.
81 know by sight all those who
are invited" Mildred said.
TN, but not of, our best society"
Connie shifted. well. it's too bad
she couldn't have let you know be-
fore the last minute"
ooh, Pamela never thinks of any
thing before the last minute" Mil
dred said good-naturedly. She didn't
want Stephen thinking they were
catty. But if he just knew Pamela!
care you talking about Pamela
Judson?" he asked and MiIrded felt
as though he had read her mind.
"Say, I know her. Sold her a car
last fall. She saw model in the
show window that she liked Walked
right in and signed her check and
then asked how much"

fathers money" Connie remarked
sarcastically.
"I'll say she's rolling in lot of it
when she takes that eight out" Ste
phen said. ga four-speed baby, too
"Wha-at?" Mrs. Lawrence
gasped.
Eft mean the car, Mrs. Law
renee. 1t takes some driving to
handle four speeds"
Mildred got up to carry out their
plates and bring in the dessert
Pamela wanted her early-there was
always q, lot Palmela wanted other
people to do for her. Not that serv-
ing Pamela was any part of Mil
dred's duties, but she had begun
that way to be obliging.
Now she had a feeling that if
she refused, her place at the hotel

Pamela did not carry her demands

cede to them.
But tonight she was slightly re-
sentful. Stephen Armitage was
good company.
Her resentment prevented her
from hurrying, but after they'd fin
