BEGIN HERE TO-DAY

To keep life from growing too dult in hed Thrush, Iowa, GIN GER ELLA TOLLlVE1t organized Junior Country Club. It was to be exclusive - no parents, no babies, just the younger set" Accordingly Ginger, whose father was minister and whose stcp- mother, the former PHIL VAN DOOKN, was both wealthy and inc dulgent, purchased the Mill Rush 1arMl, a 1O-acre tract with an old house, and rcmOdclcd 1t.
 Into Red Thrush came BARD HOLLOWAY, q young artist who was hObOins around the country. Attracted by Ginger, he agreed 10 stay and paint portraits and dcc- crate the new club house. The TOilivers made him their guest.
 Bard thought "Joie de Vivrc" would be good name for the club. It was adopted. And he thought it would be splendid if they could import from Chicago one NICOLO CALLENO. For NicOlO was handsome and he could cook and sing and strum & gu- tar. He would make a pictur- csquc addition to the club. He would be knockout on the Open- ing night, for which an elaborate dinner dance was planned.
 But on the morning of the opening there arrived at the TOllivers' not one Italian youth but what seemed an army. Litt'" ANGELO was a musician, and PIETRO could cook. And BENITO could sing. How he could sing NicOlo, it seemed, could not come, so they had come in his place, to make themselves useful, glad to work for their board. Ginger took them on.
 That night at the opening Bard realized he was falling in love with Ginger. The event was great success. Pietro, Angelo and BenitO added just the right touch of color, but EDDY JACKSON be- gan to think that Ginger would have her hands full with them, and JENKY BROOKS, who with her husband, BENNY, were chap erOns of the club, began to have misgivings.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER XVIII
 Eddy laughed a little; Ginger got a swell digestion all right" h' said as they returned to the table ''but if she can assimilate th' mouthful she bit off this time she even better than think she is.''
 Ginger heard the last remark 'No woman's better than anybod! thinks she is and most of us aren'
 ,lxo cyonC rfIv dumb to be as good as that
 Ginger and Bard had driven ou to Mill Rush early that morning arriving some 30 minutes after IT. Ford delivered the foreign invasion and Ginger found herself face l. face with her first domestic lnsur rection. Jenky said it was too much She was sorry, she admitted Una she still loved Ginger, and llKe Mill Rush first rtae. But if anybod thought for one minute that sh was going to spend the summer ou there waiting on lot of foreigner they "had another think coming. She wouldn't live with them hersel and she was not willing to sublec the mild-mannered Benny to thel influence.
 Ginger. a wise girl for her year: took Jenky firmly by the hand an led her quietly away to cool spo in the woods. where they sat dow on a fallen log to talk things ovel
 "Jenky. my dearest If not m only friend" Ginger began. an there were tears in the blue eye! q know just how you feel and don't blame you a bit I don't ex nect YOU to live with those mer and I wouldn't let you if you wante
 eve didn't ask them out here and we don't intend to keep then But as long as they have come an have to pay their way back, " want to use them o-night-just t nut things over with sort or bang. To-morrow they shall go rigf straight back where they belong You wouldn't leave me in such jam on such an important occasion would you. darling"
 Jenky was always willing to com promise. She said she would stan anything for Ginger's sake for on night only. and when Ginger dashe off with Bard to do the last of he belated errands she felt pretty eas in her own mind.
 When they returned to Mill Rus at four o'clock for last inspectio squares of blue and white polko dc cotton. Sf e fringed the edges q the napkins and folded them ov" with one corner opened like the fla of or opeoed envelope On the na r
