CHAPTER XVII
TOR this elopement Tommy and
Irene kept their plans secret,
taking no chance OF interference.
Beryl saw her sister sewing on a
pretty new dress ot eyelet en-
broidered organdy tlrene sewed the
ribbon bows on; her mother had
made the dressl and noted the mys-
terious smile that accompanied the
work.
Why that smile, she wondered.
Irene had worn 1t on her soft red
lips constantly in Beryls presence
for the past three days.
Beryl might have guessed the
truth but her work kept her too
busy TO give much thought to
lrene's affairs. Tommy's elation
would have given Il away but Beryl
had not seen him with her sister
since Irene had agreed to the elope
ment Irene would not take that
chance. She wanted TO make Beryl
suspect there was something in the
air and worry over il but she did
not want to give her too many
clues.
