I glanced around the Twins room a. Mary's whispered request 10 come away with hor and saw that for the moment everybody Was so absorbed ja ono ot Harry Undrrwood's ridicu- ious warns We would not b. missed, But as 1 slipped out O. the room with Mary l realized that Phillip Ncritzon and Noel had been absent from the group around Mr. Under wood and Mary's fearful agitation Was explained 10 m,.

 "Go back and whisper 10 Mrs, Crdern ood that 1 want her 10 keep eycrybody in tho living room until I como back. Then you can come after me"
 She oteyod me, running back on tiptoes 10 the living room. and l went on to the y~randa, pausing as I reached IT, and Swaining my ears and eyes for the sound Of voices or tho sight Of my missing guests.
 did not hayo 10 wait a second I had opened the door noiseIessly, and from around the corner Of the Ver- anda came a hoarsc voice.

 "Oh. VhaI a glorious night" l rarolad as if 10 myself T wonder how the lights look from this side.'
 My high heels tapped quickly around the varanda toward the voices which had stopped suddenly. I knew that Of all things Phillip varitzen would dread a scene and that lis reSourootulncss and NoeIs shr dread ol having me hear any thing unpleasant would postpone their quarrel 10 the more convenient season which l was determine | should never come.

 'Yes. Noel is impouous,' l agreed and wondered how soon l could gracefully gct back into the house . But mv problem was solved without my voliriou by n" violent ii of shIv- erinr which seized me as 1 spoke the words.
