There was a wistful note in
her mothers voice.
A surge Of pink came to the
young girls cheeks. What could
she say? On this glorious sunny
morning, with all nature fresh
and lovely and unspoiled, she
couldn't bring herself to even
mention the necking and pet.
ting and drinking.
Least Of all to ones mother,
in the light Of day!
And yet often, in the past,
she had yearned for a guiding
word, for condolences.
Quite the Style
She said now, airily: "Darl-

known as an affair-are you

"Of course they do, and not
half such pretty ones as you,
old dear. Tell me-because it
surely isn't dad!-who has in
spired the grand pash in you,
darling?"
Her mother twisted the rings
on her slim white fingers,
avoiding Laurel's gaze. Don't
be silly. No one"
Then why this chatter of
romance?"
Constance smiled wistfully.
1T was hearing your cynical
talk, which I don't think you

"But the roadster was in
good shape at seven last eve
ming. Did you take it out later,
Laurel?"
"Yep. Ran over some glass
in the road" she fibbed-
against her will, for Laurel was
naturally truthful.
Before Constance had time to
ask more inconvenient ques-
tions, Laurel broke in about the
tango lesson.

"He dances divinely, Laurel.

"You said it, darling. I'll

Indeed, I won't practice at
