when she got upstairs. She

A boy came up with long florists
box. Probably from Hickory Ferguson.
He was sweet to send flowers In addi-
tion to the gorgeous box of candy and
basket of fruit he had bought as a
parting gift before returning to Rolla.
Yellow roses. That deep yellow so
hard to get. Beauties. Dozens, 1t
seemed. She broke the seal Of the
white envelope and gasped in surprise.
Mr. Philip Sheridan" she read He
had wired them from Palm Beach. How
thrilling! Imagine, thinking Of her.
when he must be having wonderful
time with lots Of fascinating people! !!
That was real tribute, and she cher
ished it. Her favorite flowers-how did
he know? Not even Bruce had dis
covered that. He sent her orchids and
violets, sometimes gardenias. but never
yellow roses. There was something glad
and warm in her thoughts OF Phil,
always. Probably because they had
never known sorrow or disappointment
together She should enjoy this friend
ship without an ache inside.
Wednesday afternoon, June would
have been delighted if she could have
hid in some of the rooms and seen
the reception of Grady's notices about
the Gilmores dinner-hour club.
A disconsolate boy from Australia
sat on the side Of his bed, trying man
fully to down the homesickness that be-
set him. A printed slip Of blue paper

Gosh! I didn't even know I was

mediately decided that the world WASH I
so dark after all.
A school teacher from Mississippi
spattered the blue slip with tears be-
fore she started eagerly to dress. A
salesman from st. Louis reacted to 1t
as a clever stunt, and decided to go
down and investigate. The widower
across the hall from him, who had
moved in from Forest Hills. after his
bereavement, to escape loneliness. laid
out white shirt and put pomade on
his hair before he went to meet Miss
