CHAPTER VII

It was at the opera that they first
saw Serena Morrison.
Not that Vicky. or anyone In her
neighborhood knew who the woman
was, at first. With four men, she
was sitting in the forward seat of
a box; an ashen blonde in a black
velvet gown, with petal-smooth bare
shoulders, and deep-set, umber-
Shadowed eyes. Everyone in the
house was looking at her when the
curtain went down and the lights
went up, but if she was conscious of
the admiration and curiosity she ex-
cited she gave no sign of it.
That's Joe Younger-that stout
fellow with her." Quentin said, lay
ing down his glasses after a frank
inspection. by gosh, she is beauti-
tifull"
"Oh, Quent, you know himI"
Vicky said eagerly, leaning forward
in her old chocolate lace to have
another look. Couldn't you slip
over and meet herr"
mo time now-I will in the next
entr' acte!" Quentin whispered as

the footlights went up. But before
the next act there was the familiar
whisper in the back of the box
Vicky had resignedly expected it; it
always came somehow when they
were daring enough to go to the
| theater.
'Dr. Hardisty?" the whisper said
in the dark. The hospital on the
telephone, Doctor. DR.. Bruce. He
said it was urgent"
And then Quentin was cropping in
the gloom for his hat and coat, and
off in full evening regalia for some
hot, odorous surgery, with the val
kyries' wild scream interrupted half
way. 1t was too bad, but it wasn't
the first time and wouldn't be the
last, Vicky reminded her mother
philosophically. when they were in
the car going home.
And lucky for you. tool" Magda
responded.

well, he was perfectly mad
about that blonde woman, whoever
she was. He was going over to that
box just to meet her. But thought
you handled that very cutely, VIC"
Magda said.
Handled what?" Vicky was gen
timely amazed.
''Oh. saying she was lovely and
you'd like to know who she was.
That was smart, Vic"
There was nothing smart to
that!" Vicky laughed, in generous
amusement But she felt just a
little chilled, nevertheless. A bleak
breath Of wind from an almost-for-
gotten country seemed to touch her
cheek. Quentin admires beauty"
she presently said. But that's as
far as it goes"
Just the same I'll bet you some
thing, Vic, that he finds out tomor-
row who she is"
Mother, you're incorrigiblei"
They were at home now. yawningly
dragging themselves up the long
stairs. I'm bet you a chocolate

Virginia's Capital

Richmond, capital of Virginia,
was once also capital of the Confed-
eracy, and many things associated
with the war between the states are
to be found there. The White House
of the Confederacy is now a fasci-
mating museum. The Capitol, the
main unit of which was designed by
Thomas Jefferson, is the meeting
place of the oldest representative
legislative assembly in the new
world. Old st. Johns church is IA
nous as the place where Patrick
Henry fired the flames of the Amer
lean Revolution with his stirring
grafton ending, "Give me liberty or
give me DEATH" Near the city are
many battlefelds of the war, which
have been preserved as park areas.

room, at home and in the highways
and byways that little girls tread
during the coming tangy autumn
days! Not that children have a
monopoly on these intriguing mu-
sical prints for designers are max
ing them up into the smartest-ever
housecoats, pajamas and daytime
dresses for grown-ups.
Does your little girl love mu-
sic? If so she'll adore the beruf-

Forever Blowing Bubbles" a song
children know and love. Clever
little girl and boy figures holding
balloons and other bubble motifs
following the position of the notes
on the scale with tiny clef signs
make the design of this print which
is fascinating for young and older
folks. The crisp white organdy ruff
fes and buttons add winsome ac
cents.
The dress to the left is also made
of theme-song bubble" print. 1t
is a pleasing type for the growing
girl. Three narrow ribbon bows po-
sitioned on ribbon crossbars set
row and row march soldier-like
down the front of the bodice. Pleat-
ed skirt and demure Peter Pan
collar complete this smart style.
The dress to the right reflects a
quaint spirit in the lacings up the
front, the close-fitting bodice, and
the now-so-fashionable Swing
skirt" Any girl would love to wear
this dress first day of school" The
scattered daisies is a patterning in
spired by that familiar song,
Daisy, Daisy, Tell. Me Your An
swer True"-enough to inspire any
little girl wearing this dress to be-
come a prima donna.
