herself, that she loved Tommy Will son, He wasn't at all the man for her, she told herself at times when the thought would intrude in spite of the barrier of world -mindedness that she had built up to protect her. self against her family.
 He was weak, Tommy was, shed argue scornfully when she couldn't get him out of her thoughts. He was weak, or he couldn't have fallen for Irene-baby-faced Irene. An inner voice would agree with her. Yes, Tommy was weak-hut he was Tommy just the same, you know. the voice invariably added. Tommy, whom she'd licked to g. finish more than once (only half suspecting that he wasn't exerting his strength to the fullest). Tommy, who had smashed his lunch pail over boys head for hitting her with a rock, and bought Irene a penny stick Of candy because the fight made her cry. Tommy, who had-but It was endless-she could think of thou sand events and adventures that had drawn them together in their child hood.
 Tears smarted in her eyes before she reached the living room, but she took care to pause and wipe them away. The Everetts had never seen tears in her eyes. She was like her father, they said, simply unmoved by anything. ..,.-
 How many times Beryl wished she had known that father-the father who had died in her infancy-the father who was a . scamp, always gay and ready for laughter Cher mother did not put it that way-itt was just the way Beryl thought Of him).
 She had habit of talking to him in times of stress. This, she deemed.

watch her gang had presented 10 her the Christmas before. It was big and clumsy, but 1t was dear to her heart, and it kept fairly accurate time-if she "set it two days ahead" as she had once told Tommy. "WelI. kids" she said, II guess we'd better take him back and let him keep his rendezvous"
 Gee, no, Miss Beryl." the boy called Pigmy protested. Let's take it away from him. I want one of those things for my dos Snooks."
 "You guessed it," Beryl informed him. Its a chain all right, only in this case there's a ball attached to it. And it's sure going to give you a pain in the leg, Tommy boy" she added to their captive.
 "Well, it's my ."
 "Yes, I know; it's your leg and it's your funeral. And we're going to take you to it. I'm thoroughly dis gusted with you. ="
 "Regusted, you mean, Miss Beryl."
 "Thanks Mike, that's right-re- gusted. Hang on everybody. Over she goes!" With a chatter and a bang Beryl turned the old car about much as she would the old boat she had | traded for it.
 "The night air is bad for our Watersprite," she remarked as the car wheezed ands stuttered when she gave it gas for first speed.
 "Whatdyu call it that for?" one of the youngsters wanted to know. :.
 Because it's not boat. honey" Beryl answered sweetly. Now do you understand

ple-headed little chap with green suit and wings. Again:
 "Downy Yellow Violet said, My woodland sister drops her
 head,
 But I go romping on my way My face upturned to greet the
 day"
 And it is true that the yellow and purple violets have this difference in attitude just as the two gaily dress ed children in the book hold their heads toward the ground and the sky.
 "In spring, May Apply, slim
 and tall,
 Carries a gay green parasol; In summer time she'll give you

 Unless you're very hard to suit" May-apple blossoms! Cut them from under their shelter and watch them drop leaf by leaf before the hour is out. What is the use of pick ing them? Tell the children so, and teach them that any flower of blos- som in its native haunt is just about the loveliest thing on earth.

 "Well, never mind. It's nothing to what they've spared you You owe them vote of thanks, Tommy"
 II don't get you" he answered sulkily, but he had an idea what she meant.
 "Irene told me-" she said simply
 "Oh, she did? And this is the way you treat her confidence. A nice sisterly act. You must be proud of it. But what's the big idea, any way?"
 "Nothing, except that you're moi going to elope with Irene tonight.

The news of the past month tumbled from Sues tongue. But she checked it to ask questions.
 We didn't want anyone to know we were coming. It was to De surprise" Grace said. But one night we were sitting in cafe in Naples. And Sue, there isn't anything love- Her than music drifting across the smoky blue bay and Vesuvius doing things to the sky off wonder. All of sudden we got homesick. In the good fashioned way. I had been for two weeks but I wouldn't have said anything if Jimmy hadn't spoken first. And so we packed and went back to Paris and bought you present and here we are. I'll come over this afternoon and bring the trophies of the trip"
 There was something sweeter in Grace's face. Something steadier in her eyes, The old armor that she had worn so nonchalantly in order to make the world think that she was wise and all-knowing wasn't there any more. She didn't need it.
 When she came across the lawn late that afternoon with package in her hands Sue let her in. No one else was home.
 But you have three packages Sue said. They aren't all for me 2"
 Grace nodded. "They aren't much. We have some trinkets for your mo- ther and Corrinne. but these are yours. Of course I'd have liked to have brought some of the sunsets on the Alps all bottled in frosty jar with the fire-b bright reds and funny yellows showing through or song floating down a canal in Venice, tied up in tissue paper, but those things aren't for giving. I guess. You see I'm getting artistic. too. It's strange isn't it?"
 The first package that Sue open ed held silver bracelet. made of row of Dutch buttons. The next was a feathery fan of soft drifted blues. And the last was small bottle of perfume with the name of Nice shop on it.
 "An old man makes perfume and sells them. He has white. roses in his garden and somehow they made me think of you. Of something sweet. and feminine" Grace stopped talking. "But you are a little differ ent, Sue. You have changed. There's new assurance in your manner. You are a little more convincing, believe. More poised. You always knew what you wanted but now think you know how to get It.. IT were buying perfume again

NANCY PAGE Lois Plans a Simple
 Dinner for Roger
 By Florence La Ganke.
By Florence La Ganke.

Joan was sitting in q large char embroidering square for quilt for her own bed. Aunt Nancy had demurred, but Joan wanted to do what the Lacey girls were doing. Nancy remembered one summer when she was about eight. She. too. had been all enthusiasm. She was going to embroider cover for the dining room table. That cover had been started but never finished. Nancy hoped that Joan's enthusiasm would peter out like her own had done. But it was something more important than waning enthusiasm that stopped loans needlework. It was the after effect of the measles. Joan had caught them late in April and had stayed i'll bed in the dark ened room for the prescribed length of time. Dr Gibson's parting ad- vice had been: "Now be careful of her eyes, Mrs Page. Measles makes them particularly susceptible to .x, ipi

 "Ah, a little group of sophisti-
 "Your father didn't mean that, Angie" Beryl said gently. "He loves to joke. Everyone knows it's fine to marry the right person. And your mother is awfully sweet"
 "Yep, I guess she is," Angie ad- mitted. "She likes you too. Miss Beryl. heard her say that if it wasn't for your family. ."
 "Perhaps you heard her say that in confidence" Beryl hastily inter- rupted. q don't think I'd repeat it, Angie"
 It would be just like Tommy, she though, to imagine she had coached Angie.
 "Oh, all right" Angie subsided.
 
 Beryl fell silent and so did Tommy. The children, too, were quieter than usual, depressed by a sense of fail- ure. Their leader had not told them what this Kidnapping was for, but her conversation with Tommy had enlightened them somewhat. It was plain that she had wanted to stop him from running away with her sis- ter, and now she was going to let him do it.
 Pigmy especially was downcast. He liked Tommy, but Irene was ana thema to him. Ever since she had intercepted and read, with much public glee, one of his love notes to Agnes, of their neighborhood, he had "hated the ground she walked on."
 Beryls voice cheered them a bit, however, when they neared her home, and she said briskly: Well,

If the manufacturer and merchant did not have
confidence in their wares they would hesitate to call
attention to them For advertising rigidy tests the
maker. the seller and the merchandise. BUSINESS
so TESTED, AND FOUND NOT WANTING, is
PROSPEROUS
In the long run, you can depend on the man who
