Irection of the hospital sunroon
from whose open doors echoed
gusts Of merriment. Young Mr.

with the Boston ferns and the
old lady in BIG, who was con.

Grafton and who enjoyed a good
story when she heard one.
Veronica was on duty days
now, taking care Of Mr.. Van
Solver. His day nurse. Elise
Golf, had been called home by
the illness Of her father-provi,

Veronica simply did not under,
stand. She herself got down
every night on her knees anC
prayed to st. Joseph to find hel
a good husband. She had a small
metal image of the saint strung
around her neck this very mo,
ment, on a thin silver chain
And all she'd ever got for it Cur
to date was the attention OF
Will Schultz. who ran 4 garage
lin New Martin and wasn't halt

Van Solver talked about movies

pictures she did. Wasn't that
funny?
He'd be going home soon and
she'd miss him. His chauffeu
had driven up that very after

mother had sent up before Shl
left for Florida. Miss kcrricar
sighed, considering an existence
in which town houses, foreign
motors and hampers from Hicks

be to be rich! Not that she liked
Mr.. Van Solver because Of his
money-far from it. IF he hadn't
penny he'd still be the dearest
boy in the world.
