attention If things hadn't been all
right"
What are you trying to do?"
asked Ellen, in tone which she
hoped hid her annoyance. Make
me Steven Barclays third wife on
the strength of few flowers?"
You can talk like that, young
lady, but you can't fool your
mother" Molly declared in her airy
assumption Of sophisticated ma
turity. Flowers might mean moth
ing from a young boy. But an
older man doesn't do things like
that and you know it. You're only
trying to throw dust in our eyes"
ELLEN was furious. She was con-
~ scious all the time that she
was being ill-natured and ungra-
cious, conscious that she was blam-
ing Steven Barclay because his
flowers were not from another man,
blaming him, as well, for her moth
er's foolishness.
But she could barely restrain her
self from rushing from the table
when Molly began to plan for fu-
ture engagements with Barclay.
You'll need two or three light
little dresses for evening"" she was
saying. Luckily it's summer and
you can wear anything. I do wish
your Aunt Myra would send an
other box. It's about time for one"
What are you thinking of,
mother?" Ellen protested in a vain
attempt to check the tide. you're
making tremendous plans on moth
ing at all. I won't have It'll"
Well" responded Molly, hurt, "if
you don't want us to share your
pleasures with you-why I guess"
Ellen was suddenly remorseful.
Mother was mother, delightful,
feather headed, irresponsible. There
was no need to destroy her gayety.
AS she comforted her, Ellen's
amused, tolerant look went to meet
Myra's self conscious eyes. And she
saw with an unpleasant shock that
steady, sensible Myra, for once, had
sided against her. Myra believed
she had been deliberately coquet-
fish.
Molly readily forgave the grave
injury that Ellen had done her. The
easy tears dried and she was laugh
ing, sparkling again.
You'd better be good to me-" she
gayly rebuked Ellen. 1--we a sur
prise I've been keeping for you. Yes
terday after you telephoned about
not having the right dress I went
out and bought you lovely print
ed chiffon with the cunningest
little jacket that you take off when
you dance"
There was an appalling silence.
Molly added nervously, defensive
ly, "It was a great bargain, and
since we didn't have enough money
to pay the rent anyway, why, I
thought"
"Oh, mother" walled Myra,
"can't you see there's no point at
all in Ellen's working herself to
death at Dreamland if all the ex-
ira money is to go for clothes?"
But now she can return the
other dress to Mr.. Barclay and start
out right with him." argued Mol
ly. "It's come in handy anyhow.
You'll see. Things are starting to
happen to Ellen. No one knows how
long she'll have to work anyway"
Ellen saw her way clear at last.
Il love working at Dreamland,"
she said. Its not work. It's fun
there. want to keep on. met
some one-well, anyway, I wouldn't
give up going there for anything"
