things that were piling up in her
room was gone.
Donald sensed it when he came
to see her, the first night after his
return from Pasadena.
What's wrong, darling?"
"Nothing-nothing at all, now
that you're back. Oh, Donald,
I've missed you so. What did
your mother say? Was she very
mad? Oh, do hope she likes me
a little. Tell me! What did she
say?"
He reached in his pocket,
brought out a ring, in which a
single large blue-white diamond
blazed brilliantly.
Like it?"
Eyes, it's lovely-but-Donald,
we did decide we wouldn't have
anything like that! It's awfully
sweet of you, but just the same

"Oh, I didn't buy it. Eve
that's mother, you know, gave
it to me. Took, it off her own
finger. Insisted on it. So I had
to bring it to you. Let's see if
it fits"
She held her hands tight beside
her.
"Oh! I'd much rather not!
Unless she. Did she think she'd
like me? Was she really pleaSed?"
He laughed.
Pleased! My darling child,
she was mad as the deuce! She
hates you already. Doesn't that
make everything cozy? But she
had to be noble, so she gave me
the ring, and she's going to give
us a lot-part of a hillside she
owns out in the sticks in Berkeley.
It has such a big mortgage on
it we're as good as bankrupt
already. Now tell me your good
news. I can see you're keeping
something from mel"
II haven't any. No, really, I
haven't. If I had you've just
made me laugh at it. 1t doesn't
matter. But just wish every
body wouldn't give us things"
"Just wait till the wedding
presents begin to roll in, darling.
Well get big red lamps with
cabbageS tattooed on them, and
silver-plated platters, and pic
lures of Niagara Falls in winter"
She laughed, but her eyes were
wet and shining.
II know, and I'll write notes
and tell them they're just the
thing wanted. oh, Donald, let's
not! Let's not let them give us
things, and ruin everything! Oh,
Donald, Donald-let's run away!"
OF course they didn't run away.
They wanted to. But how could
they?
Aunt Nettie would be too dis
appointed" Christie admitted,
wiping her eyes and laughing a
little, as she thought of the
cloth of silver bridesmaids dress
that looked like something out
of fairy tale, and the 10 dozen
st. Joseph lilies that were to be
massed in the church, and the
wedding cake and the brides
maids cake and the champagne
that had been ordered.
And so the vision of Just her
self and Donald saying II do"
and going quietly away together
without any fuss, melted away,
and they resigned themselves to
the inevitable.
The last minute Eve Latham,
Donald's mother, wired that she
had been delayed and might ar
rive only in time for the wedding.
