D oNNlE CAREw knew when he re,
~ ceived that invitation to have din
ner with his sister and her husband
that something was In the wind.
"And when sis promises my favorite
fried chicken and mushrooms well.
little brother knows his leg is going
to be pulled In some way"
Little brother was quite right. II
was just following his second helping,
a large, fat drumstlck, that Elsie said
sweetly:
"You know, Ronnle. Tom and are
going off again to France and"
"Oh. that's II, and am to have chat
Internal bother Of renting the fiat for
you. The scramble last time was like
an Irish meeting. and | spent three
whole days dashlng from the Office to
the fiat with an assortment Of apart
ment seekers"
You're the first edition Of the fat
hunters guide" laughed Tom. II
guess we'd better ask $3.50 month
and there won't be such a riot"
Ronnie was In for II, SO he became
resigned, put the advertisement In the
papers and his own office address and
telephone, made the inventory, saw
Tom and Elsie off and awaited the
rush.
There were two inquiries before he
reached his office, and along they
came until Ronnie was quite fed up
telling people all about the fiat. II
was the voice of John Herbert over
the phone. however, that prompted
Ronnie to sense the right tenant.
"If that fats the right thing" said
Herbert "I'll send my check today.
Mrs. Herbert is coming In all the
way from Oyster Bay, hoping we can
secure It, and said she'd be there
about twelve"
So 1t happened that Ronnie waited
the arrival of Mrs Herbert.
OF course he had not expected her
to be the most lovely woman on earth,
but so she seemed when she stood
poised In the doorway with an Inqulr-
ing look in her big soft eyes.
This was the moment for which
Ronnie blessed his sister for asking
his assistance in renting the fat.
"Oh, what an adorable apartment,
she exclaimed, "and a tiny view Of
the Hudson. Oh, dear, do hope Mr..
Herbert told you how very much we
want itf'
She turned implorIng eyes fnll on
Ronofa ard ha utraLaA hanaofA fhafe
glory.
Ronnie sighed and remembered tell
ing her that Mr.. Herbert had all but
settled It for her.
"Since you and your husband seem
destined to have drawn the prize from
the multitude, why not take the keys
for good?"
A curious smile crinkled the fair
ones eyes.
"But will your wife not want to-
well-look us over, too2"
my sister," corrected Ronnie, els
on the high cas-"
"Oh," commented the lady, having
got her information. She seemed
even more animated after that SIS
there any way we could get in touch
