"You don't seem Q bit excited, Motherl Don't you reallxe that this is the first time Emily has ever written as much as that about 0 man?" She clenched her fists, "If he isn't just the grand- est ever, I1l-I'll slap his facel"
 And she cried: Maybe well zee him ct Commencement I'll pet hell come back to see Emily eradu- atel" And she laughed again, sym. patheticaily. George said he might 20 down to Commencement, hiIlis self. He said he suggested it 70 Emily, and Emily didn't answer; but of course told him she'd De glad to see him."
 "Who else did you see, uptown9" Mrs. Brannan asked in Q mild ins terest.
 "Oh, everybody" Kay assured her. T met Lillian on the way to the Postotfice. She told me Miss Farmer was resignlng after this wear. She thought Emily would jump at the chance to get that joD. I thanked her, but can you imagine Emily teaching school here iEa Oars vel? After doing 50 wonderfully at Wellesley7"
 Brannan agreed.
 Of course" Kay asgented. She added thoughtfully: I'm always Q little sorry for Lillian. ! think sne'd like to be somewhere else. or doing something else. I don't think she likes teaching school. She's only . little older than am, but she looks thirty, relatively, Mother"
 Mrs. Grammar chuckled. Thirty isn't--seniie, Kay" she remarked:
 "Oh, of course not" Kay admit~ ted. "Hut you know what mean.

told him l wouldn't, I positively wouldn't, and Mother stood up for me ."
 Kay, continuing homeward when Nancy's ebullience was at last abated, smiled once and then again, as though even in retrospect Nancy were amusing. Then she forgot Nancy as she came nearer home. She turned in from the road be-. tween twin hedges of lilac just yearning toward bloom and crossed the lawn to the side door, and so came into the side hall, into the kitchen. The kitchen was empty, and she called:
 "Motherl Motherl"
 When Mrs. Grammar did not i'm. mediately answer, Kay went into the front hall. Her mother must be upstairs. Kay, her hand on the rail; called again:
 Mrs. Grammar came to the head of the stairs, 0 compact little woman, calm, composed and sure.
 "fIush, Kay" she whispered. ''Your fathers asleep"
 "But, Mother, there's Q letter from Emilyl" Kay whispered in Q soft delight.
 And Mrs. Grammar, with Q quiet eagerness, came down the stairs.
 Emily was only two years older than Kay, and Kay was ready for college: but to have both daughters in wellesley ct the same time would have imposed upon the fal1- fly finances an insupportable strain. So Kay must walt till Emily's four years were done - Emily was Q senior now and in the meantime she eased her own impatience by her pride in Emily's success. The older daughter had e quiet strength which commanded the respect of her classmates, just as her aptitude ct her studies won the respect of the faculty. This year she was head of the Student Government, Q leader not only of her class, but of the undergraduate body as Q whole.
 Her letters home were always events. She wrote easily and at length, knowing how hungrily Kay and her father and mother devour- ed every word. Usually what she wrote was concerned with her work or with her extra-sc scholastic activi- ties; but this. letter which Kay had brought back from the Post Ofiice to-day contained news almost sen- sational in It's implications.
 Before opening the letter, Kay and her mother went into the living-room that was the heart of the house. Mrs. Brannan had mis- laid her glasses, and Kay found them for her, beside the sink in the kitchen. When she returned, Mrs. Grammar adjusted the glasses and carefully tore off the end of the envelope and began to read the let- ter aloud. Kay leaned over the chair back, her own eyes following

 T don't, Kay assured her. T feel as if I'd helped, some, by watt ing. We're awfully proud of Emily, you know. She's done 50 wonder. fully. And of course Father couldn't afford to have us both in Wellesley at once. Really, I haven't minded at all."

Her brother is rather nice.

 Kay caught Mrs. Brannan's shoulder. She didn't, Motherl" she cried. "She never mentioned him. Mother. do you think she's in love with himl I bet she Isl"
 Mrs. Grammar smiled. "Of course not, Kay. Listen now" And she read calmly on:
 But I started to tell you about Helen. She went away over c week. end and she had, signed to stay with Mrs. Morton, in town; but she and another girl and two men got caught in c liquor raid at c place down on the shore. She was with Bob Dakin. He's c young doctor and terribly wild, and always get- ting his name in the papers, and 50 there were reporters in court when the case came up, and one of them knew Helen. She gave Q false name; but this reporter knowing her the whole thing came out in the papers. Who she was, and everything.
 80 Student Government had to do something about 1t. When ] talked with her, she was pretty re- beilious and defiant. Then Dane saw the story in the New York papers, and came over to try to straighten things out. It seemed to me Helen ought to face the music and had to tell him 50. At first he was furious ct me. and he went to Dean Wills, but of course the Dean said Student Government would have to handle 1t; and she wouldn't interfere. So we decided Helen would have to leave college, but that she could come back as Q Freshman next year. So she'll be in your class, Kay. After 1t was all settled, she was 0 peach about 1t. think 1t will be Q good thing for her; and Dane does too, now. We came to know each other pretty well, he and I. One night we got 0 canoe and went out on the lake, and he told me about Paris, and oil the places he's seen. He's been oil over the world. He's coming tip to New Hampshire this summer and wants to visit Us for c while. I know the extra work will be hard on you, Mother; but know you'll like him, 50 told him he could come.
