The Old Shelf The New Note In Decoration

The sfelf of today is no longer the place where things are put out of sight to be out of mind.

She wondered on the drive back
whether she would see anything
more of Jimmie Webster or amusing
Lisi Duncan, or any of the others.
Celia hoped so. She had almost be-
gun to feel that she was one Of
them. But of course Tod Jordan
would come to see her.
She missed most of the agreeable
scenery along the road thinking
about Tod Jordan. After all, in
spite of its terrors, the swimming
adventure had been romantic.

ties caught her eye as they crossed
the great East river bridge. The
color and motion of life on the river
aroused her interest. After they

Celia got out and ran up the
steps.

she said brightly.

woman, can't you even pay week

name into headlines? Ugh!

The girl, surprised, waited while

veloped that there had been nc
headlines" One newspaper had
carried small paragraph of the
accident, and there had been two
calls for photographs. That was all
1t was sufficient to convince the
autocratic Mrs. Mitchell that her
dignity had been outraged. For half
an hour she lectured Celia on the
sanctity of the Mitchell name.
Celia heard it all demurely. AT
last she was excused and went to
her own room. No, it was not going
to be much fun to be home again
Luncheon was dismal. Mrs
Mitchell continued to indicate dis
approval of her granddaughter
Celia retired to the library as soon

hour later.
