chuckled. "But the only Superlative

head.

Kay heard this in a sober con-

Her mild emphasis had in it some
thing piteous and tragic. She was
never vehement woman.
Kay'S cheeks drained white, and
her heart slowed, and for a moment
there was a furious indignation in
her. Then she steadied, said bravely:
Don't you worry about that Mother!

and have things spick and span for
you all when you come home"

THAT only means one nights hotel

Emily. I'd like to have him there"
"Of course, darling" Kay insisted
warmly. Then suddenly she was
silent, eyes turned upward. From
the room above them came a stumble
of uncertain feet, and Mrs. Brannan
rose quickly,
Hes awake" she said. "I1l go

Kay nodded, but she stayed behind.
When her mother was gone she stood
very still for a moment. Then she

the room, and her hands clenched
at her sides. Presently, like small

fists at her eyes, and then she shook
her head and laughed, o little un-

ones to 60"
Kay and Emily and Mrs. Brannan
were very busy all that Summer
making Kay's college wardrobe. Mrs.
Brannan was an expert needlewoman.
She had learned the art long ago, in
the school of necessity, and Kay and
Emily did their share. If the day
were warm they might take chairs
and sewing baskets out on the lawn
toward the river, and sometimes Nancy
Towne and her mother came to join
them, and sometimes Lillian Rad
ford, or another. What Kay's gar
ments might lack in the quality Of
materials they made up in fine and
loving needlework.
Save for the brief intervals neces-
sary to attend to the houSeWork
and for such minor interruptions
as the friendly social life of Carvel
provided, they sewed all Summer
long. Kay liked best the afternoons
under the elmS beside the house
when bees were busy in the orchard
and the chipmunk which lived in a
home under the root of the biggest
elm moved busily back and forth
between the hazel thicket by the
river and his home, and birds went
about their lawful business in the
trees.
But also the girl reveled in thai
last hour of the day, when her mother
and father were abed, and she ano
Emily, in the big room they shared
could have long sweet talks together
Kay in these hours was the ques-
toner, and Emily answered with g
patient and tender amusement al
her sisters eager curiosity.
Mrs. Brannan had gone alone tc
the commencement exercises. Mr.
Brannan, with an instinct to punish
himself for the derelictions for which
he was always afterward so penitent
refused to go. He urged that Kay
take his place, but Kay was as in
SiStent as he.
Already steeled to give up this ad-
venture to which she had so long
looked forward hungrily, she refused
to be denied the joy of sacrifice
and in the end both she and hel
father stayed at home. So Mrs. Bran
nan went down to Boston and re-
manned two nights instead of one
and she and Emily returned together
one late afternoon, and that evening
they all sat listening while first Mrs
Brannan and then Emily told them
over and over all that there was Il
tell.
Kay found herself in Emily's pres
ence astonishingly diffident. Wher
they went upstairs together at last
and were alone, Emily spoke Of this

She was taller than Kay, with steady
eyes and a firm mouth and chin,
and when the door was closed behind

Kay laughed. Hello" she said.

and then thrust her away and said
gently:

Kay shook her head. "I wanted

suggested. "Since Easter vacation.

confessed, mirthfully. You're So

Emily laughed gently. That's my

Mrs. Brannan did not answer, and

And then quickly: "Of course, I

then"
Mrs. Brannan said gently: Things
weren't particularly different, Kay.
Where you live doesn't matter so
much. It's how you live that's the
important thing"
