CHAPTER w
Odds and Ends.


Geoff had never visited the gift shop
though he knew, of course, where it
was. When he happened to find him
self in its neighborhood during his
lunch hour one day, he yielded to an
impulse Of curiosity and hunted it up.
Cynthia, he knew, would not be in.
This was her day out at this time.
1t was tiny place, little more than
a wedge between two more pretentious
shops. Its one plateglass window
shone bravely and through it he caught
a glimpse of various articles carefully
arranged. In the middle Of them was
a gray pottery bowl filled with yellow
button" chrysanthemums, their gray
green foliage In lovely contrast with
the bowl. Geoff regarded that arrange
ment thoughtfully. He had seen its
duplicate on the table at home. Did
Miss Mona come down to the shop to
fix Cynthia's flowers. or was she also
endowed with the pretty gift of floral
arrangement? 1t seemed somehow a
contradictory note in her character.
But then everything about Cynthia
seemed more or less contradictory.
Inside there was the usual collection
of chains, pins, small lacquer trays,
candlesticks, powder boxes, gift boxes
of fine tea, travelling clocks-all the
ornamental litter with which he was
so familiar.

'For me? Who on earth-?'
"Why not?" her mother asked af-
fectionately. "Pm sure there are
plenty of men who Oh, Cynthia !"
She had lifted from the folds of
waxed paper mass of flowers: roses,
white heather, forced lilies and gar
denias. They were tied with yards of
silver ribbon and proclaimed, to the
last butterfly bow, their expensive
ness.
"Find the card, dear! Miss Mona
looked more pleased than did her
daughter. Indeed Cynthia's face wore
only an expression of bewilderment
There was a moments silence while
she flshed among the wrappings for
the tiny envelop and drew out the
card. Then to Geoff's amazement she
turned quite white, rose and walked
unsteadily from the room. Geoff, as
she passed him, thought he caught a
CLINT of tears in her eyes.
"Who is 1t, Miss Nona?" Tenny's
anxious voice was inquiring. "Who
sent 'em? What makes Cynthia feel
so bad?"
II sent them," Cary said, after mo-
ment's hesitation. "Cynthia's been

Miss Mona patted his arm. 1T was
a lovely thing to do she repeated
"Tll take them out and put them in
water. Don't worry about Cynthia,
darling. She's tired-worn out with
the heat"
The girl came down later, faint
traces Of tears about her eyes, her
mouth set In firm lines She made no
reference to Cary's gift; indeed she
scarcely spoke during the meal.
Geoff, writing to his mother that
evening, could not refrain from men
tioning the incident.

to do, of course, when the garden here
is so full of flowers; but after all, it
was Cary's money and he meant well.
Most girls would have been touched
by his thought Of them But not Gym
thia! I suppose it sent her into a
fit to think of all the money she might
have grabbed OFF Cary to put into
her precious shop!
"If there's one thing I've learned

it is that the Odds and Ends is the

SYNOPSIS

Business taking him, to Denver, Godfrey
Ensloe, young chemical engineer, takes up his
residence with his mothers girlhood friends.
They seem happy, carefree family, Captain
Cary; "Miss Mona" Aylesbury, the captains
daughter; Cary, thoughtless though llxable
youngster; little Tenny Montague, motherless,
who lives with the Carys-and Cynthia. Geoff
finds himself very much 'at home," though
Cynthia puzzles him. She is, apparently
against the wishes Of her family, running
s'ssift shop" and astonishes Geoff by the sug-
gestion that he pay board money, to her, un-
known TO her mother. He agrees, though much
mysti6ed.
