wrote, 81 want TO be loved by u
black-haired, misty-eyed girl"
The next day when MarjOry
went in to attach her cross to the
wish, there were several other peo-
pie there, and one young man had
apparently taken up a position for
life right i'm front of her wish. She
fingered about casting shy glances
at this human screen and wondering
when he would move away. Mar
jory wouldn't for the world let this
big man with the twinkle in his
very blue eyes know that she had
put down so sentimental a wish.
Her hair. closely cropped was of
red-gOld, with a strong accent on
the red.
She felt vague tug at memOry's
cord and was flung back suddenly
to her seventh year when she and
a lanky red-haired boy had been in
separable com. Unions.
But coming again as swiftly to
the present she realized that the
way was now clear to putting a
cross beside her wish She did il
quickly and turned away.
Tony McVane, out of the corner
of his blue eyes watched and
smiled. When MarjOry had left
the wishing tower, he went back to
the two hearts and wrote something
beside his own wish. After that he
went away and was pleasantly
thoughtful.
When Marjory returned next day
for her second cross she was highly
amused to see that an addition had
been made to the heart overlap
ping her own. Reading it. the clear
color famed her cheeks.
"Have changed my color scheme
and wish for tawny hair and clear
hazel eyes," she read.
She slipped out quickly and went
along to the nearest soda fountain
as the day was thirst begetting.
Tony McVane, who had been
watching her from a nearby bench.
arose and leisurely went into the
same shop.
Marjory was about to sip the
first spoonful of her luscious
drink when the color mounted high
in her cheeks.
The man sat down quite near to
her and removed his tweed cap.

fully conceived combinations which
artfully blend related tones and
tintS.
The program for spring records
such unusual color alliances as
navy, white and gray, or brown,
pistachiO, green and yellow, also
black, white and red, while brown,
turquOis and pale beige is quoted
as one of the most successful tri-
color effects of the season.
Trimming the smart wooIens with
plaid or stripes is also made a
feature of the new modes. Usually
ii is a novel scarf which says cit"
loudly with color, with the jacket
lining and other details uniting in
a chorus of plaids or stripes or
whatever the motif may be. Per-
haps the message of color contrast
is most frequently relayed in the
costume with a jacket of entirely
different color.
This vogue is smartly expressed
in terms of plaid for the shirt
topped with a jacket in solid tone,
either black, navy, red, dark green
or brown. Quite unusual, brown
for spring, but Paris designers are
exploiting it.

1T WAS Marjory's first trip up TO
L the Maine coast and naturally
she had never before seen the Wish
ing Tower.
Tradition had it that, since the
old lighthouse had been abandoned
for something more modern, the
good fairies which had always
guarded those at sea, still fingered
there. And so an enterprising
townsman conceived the splendid
idea of turning the lighthouse into
a Wishing Tower and for five cents
one could enter. write his or her
most cherished wish on the wall
and, because of the influence of the
good spirits. expect it to come
true.
Marjory firmly believed in the
influence of good spirits and went
straight into the tower to write
down a wish. Once inside she
found that she must return on
three succeeding days and put a
tiny cross beside her wish. This
repetition. ii seemed. showed a
keen interest in ones wish and in
cidentally put twenty rather than
five cents into the pockets of the
enterprising tOwnsman.
Having the usual amount of rO-
nance still waiting within her un-
spoiled heart, Marjory drew a pic
ture that somewhat resembled that
important organ of ones anatomy
and wrote carefully, 81 want to be
loved by a nice, black-haired man,
with brown eyes"
She hurried away lest any of the
several people strolling about read
ing the wishes should laugh at her
In her haste she almost collided
head on with a fine big man whose
curiosity had carried him also to
the Wishing Tower. He rather
liked the all too swift glance he
got of Marjory and fell to wonder
ing whether or not she had made
a wish or whether she was just
idling about like himself seeking
amusement.
Tony McVane arrived at Mar
jory's wish, but, of course, he had
no idea that the hasty young lady
with whom he had bumped elbows
was the writer. The badly drawn
heart amused him. Suddenly in a
spirit of fun he drew another heart.
