I "ExpIain spooning with Law i rencei" -,
 Larry, please go, now" Carol said. ''Let me handle this"
 She watched the chauffeur dis appear in the darkness.
 "Come inside" she whispered 10 her brother.
 Inside the great hall. they faced each other. Tomorrow III thrash him within an inch of his life and send him packing. Don said. Don't be absurd" Carol said. ''He played football at college. on, Don. are you blind? Didn't you know he wasn't a real chauffeur :? You'd be surprised if told you who he is. But I'll tell you this much. He was mentioned for All American. Another year he prob- ably would have made 1t.
 50 that's his story" sneered Don. His voice rose angrily, "Thc dirty crook" :.
 Il recognized him." Carol went on. q went to school with his sis ter. He had heard of me, too. which gave him the idea of getting a job. After while it was ques- ton of taking any job he could get or stop eating. And he wouldn't go home because his father had been hard with him."
 Lord, you're gullible."
 "Don = Carol!' Mrs Kendalls fretful voice came from the head of the stairs. What in the world are you talking about?"
 About that damned chauffeur" Don said angrily.
 Carols frightened eyes met his. ''Lawrence!"
 "He was impudent to me-" Don said slowly. isis said I brought it on myself"
 "Whether you did or not" Mrs Kendall said, angrily, how dare he be impudent? Imagine you and Carol Quarreling over a chauf- feur."
 Carol and Don went up the stairs.
 Please don't ask me what 1t was all about, Mother, I have a wretched headache. left Virgin ia's because of it."
 "Who brought you home?"
 II telephoned Lawrence to come for me-"
 "Oh!" said Mrs Kendall.
 
 When Carol to breakfast next morning Mrs Kendall greeted her pleasantly. Well, dear, how's the headache? Better?"
 Much better, thank you, Mother"
 I'm glad. By the way, dear, you may be inconvenienced a little to-day. I let Lawrence go for his impudence to Don."
 Carol put her cup down and raised her eyes calmly to her mothers. He'll probably find a job soon. He was an excellent chauffeur" 's
 But imagine being impudent to Don! Carol. you look little pale"
 "Too much night life. I've been having these headaches for days"
 II think Dr Redwood should see you, dear"
 Nonsense. All he'd say would be, Carol, you must retire at nine for a month. No dancing, a quart of milk taken in between meals, more fresh vegetables and fruit. And maybe a little trip somewhere somewhere in the south.' Mother, there's an idea! Let me join Bess Lattimer for a few weeks in Miami. It would do me world of good. And I'd like to awfully."
 Mrs Kendall stared in amaze ment. "Of course you may go if you care to. But am surprised, Carol. You'll miss the Rutherford party and Jeans house party that you were so enthusiastic about"
 Mother, darling, how you do draw on your imagination. Imagine me being enthusiastic about Jeans house party" Carol laughed.
 I'm sure you shouldn't leave now"
 But want to. I'm bored and not well. May I wire Bess to-day?"
 T suppose so."
 What a queer child Carol was, Mrs Kendall thought. She hadn't seemed in the least concerned about Lawrence's dismissal. And 1t was really because last night she had thought Carol was interested in him that shed let the young man go.
 "I'd like to get away to-mor-, row." Carol said.
 But you couldn't possibly"
 "Why not? have plenty of clothes. And Miami has shops" "Of course we can do lots if we hurry. Do you feel equal to shop ping?"
 T feel fine" Color had come back to Carols cheeks. Her eyes sparkled.
 Mrs Kendall sighed. You fairly take my breath away. wish you weren't quite so impulsive."
 Only a week before when Bess had written, begging Carol to join her. Carol had laughed at the idea. Imagine! I know Miami back wards, forwards. vertically and horizontally. I'd be bored to death.'
 And here she was thrilled over going, entering with zest into plan ming for the trip. Really, Mrs Ken dall thought, Carol was difficult to understand.
