Resale, my darling!" Isabelle sang and,
to see the fish.
well. gracious!' she exclaimed when she
opened the icebox door and met the cold glare
of the lake trout draped through two COM
partments.
Baby, what is we going to do with it,"
Mamie stopped scraping carrots to shake her
head over the fish.
Bake it, Mamie" Isabelle was seething
with ideas now. And, my. but the world was
strange! Such mere unattractive thing as a
fish to make life exciting again.
Bake it, Mamie, . she repeated, remember
ing a colored photograph she had seen in the
household page of the Sunday newspaper.
And stuff it and serve it whole. head and
all, with parsley and things around it on a
big platter"
Il amt never" Mamie's features took on
sultry gloom that warned of stubbornness.
II amt never in my life stuffed fish,

And is good cook. Mamie was becom-
ing more sultry by the second. But amt
no chef-cook like hotel"
"Mamie!" Isabelle closed the icebox door.
'Its very simple thing to stuff
Il can fry fish," Mamie went on over this
interruption. Il can boil fish. broil it. can
make fish pilau. But can't bake fish and
stuff it" She added with strange mixture
of acid reproach and pride in Isabelle. and
who is talking about what is simple? Who
what can't fry egg?"
That is beside the point. Isabelle opened
a cupboard and took out the cook book. She
found recipe for baked stuffed fish and
rapidly read it off to Mamie. "And," she
finished. you bake it at 375 degrees Fahren-
heit.'

- NE eyelash, the last imperfect detail,
was crooked. Isabelle Strengthened it
~ then turned away from the mirror,
! foregoing that moment when she stood back
! and approved her reflected self from head to
toe.
Today she was not in the mood. A person
could get tired of anything - even of herself.
And she was family satiated (or something)
with life - the sameness of it ALL the same
kind of parties, the same old places to 60.
This date this afternoon with Clifford Reed -
they'd ride around, then stop at Pals Drive
Inn or Kittredge's for milkshake and meet
some of the crowd and talk - and that would
be the date.
She'd be her same old self all the time; and
Clifford would be Clifford. Not that Clifford
wasn't marvellous; it was just that person
got tired of seeing herself always the same to
boy. 1t was like - well, like the boys were
mirrors and she always saw the same refec-
ton all the time; terribly aattering. But sort
of monotonous.
Baby" Isabelle heard the cook calling
from downstairs. Comply here"
Good gracious hea- runs! Isabelle forgot the
moDotony of her days in the increasingly
maddening problem of the cook. Wasn't
Mamie ever going to stop calling her baby"
in front of people? And would nothing ever
stop her announcing Isabelles callers like
this? There was Clifford Reed standing down
in the hall, finished with his first year in
college, and Mamie couldn't bring herself
to put Mr. in front of his name
Thank you Mamie" 1t was difficult to
sound dignifed and 'dismissing the menial'
when she had practically to scream to be
heard at ALL And she had to tolerate this
treatment because Mamie's feelings must not
be hurt, because Mamie had known her since
before she was born, and known all her
friends. OF course, Isabelle loved Mamie. But,
after all, to be sixteen and see your picture in
the paper as the leader of the younger set and
be treated by your cook like you were in
diapers and your friends had no names but
"compny"!
Isabelle snatched up her purse and hurried
downstairs. Il were just saying" Mamie in
formed Isabelle, that it sho is change from
time this here boy used to run past our hedge

rocks. My! My!' Mamie's eyes rolled in her

plump brown face; came rolicking laughter.
''Yes, indeed, Mamie" Isabelle said in
tone of dismissal She mmmwed to Clifford,
Let's 60, and swept out through the door.
You certainly makes a mighty pretty
pair!" Behind them Mamie's laughter was
doting and amused. The pretty pair did not
reply. They exchanged glances of humorous
Clifford understood; for at his house he had
the same problem in the dark person of one
Betsy who had known him since he was fifteen
minutes old.
Isabelle and Clifford maintained their
humorous expression until his roadster had
carried them out of sight of the Cummings
house. Then they relaxed. He looked at her
down over his shoulder and said, Hill" And
she said, well, hi" in that way of hers
surprised yet demurely daring him to look at
her again. He sighed. She sighed. Their date
had officially begun.
It proved to be what Isabelle had antic-
ipated: drive out into the country, then
back to Pals Drive-Inn where there were
milkshakes and conversation with Kay Oliver
and Chester Armstrong, who drove IN and
parked beside them. Isabelle failed to think of
how like other afternoons the afternoon was
until it was over and she was back at home.
She wandered into the living room. Neither
her mother nor father was there, and its
emptiness made her remember how dull life
was. Sinking down in chair, she rested her
head on its upholstered arm just as her mother
came in from the washroom in the hall and
said:
"Wally Bowen brought you one of the fish
his father caught on his vacation. Why
Wally Bowen, Senior must take the trouble to
pack it in ice and haul it all the way home
to give me and Mamie the trouble of trying
to make space for the thing in the icebox.
is" Words failed her as she caught the
odor of her hands still fshy despite violent
scrubbing.
Certainly is, Mamma, Isabelle mumned
in languid effort at sympathy.
The worst of it is, you can't give part
of the thing away. Wally'd hear of it and
he feels he's brought you food for the gods,
not a fish you could buy in market"

enthusiasm. An old fish
was hardly present to
make PERSONS heart pal
pitate with the preciousness of it all. The only
nice part was Wally's giving it to her.
why not give small dinner party day
after tomorrow - when your father and
won't be here" Rosalie wanted no more of
the fish raw or cooked. Were driving out to
the Garrison farm. Your father has some busi-
ness with old Mr.. Garrison; and we won't be
back until near midnight"
A faint throb of excitement comsed through
Isabelle. She'd never given party all by
herself. But she went limp again as she
remembered - Mamie. Without her parents
to keep Mamie quelled, Mamie would prac-
tically feed the guests with spoons.
You can get in Mamie's niece to wait on
the table," Rosalie said, for once failing to
read her child's mood Alright and attributing
Isabelle's lassitude to an unwillingness to un-
dertake the work of giving dinner unassisted.
Well! Isabelle sat up straight - this was
something else! She was filled with animation
at sudden thought - delightful and gra-
cious, how different! She would give stag
dinner. Well, practically a stag dinner. She'd
be there, but everybody. else would be boys.
She'd just sort of preside, lend lovely
feminine note while the boys had an evening
of good food and good talk. Mans talk.
Already she could see herself at the head
of the dining table, graciously listening while
she deftly, but unobtrusively, saw to every
ones comfort directing Mamies niece, April
May, to fill water glass. bring more butter.
April-May wouldn't behave as if the whole
thing was kiddie party. April-Ma was a
mere child of fifteen and would do as she
was told.
Can l just ask the boys, Mammal"
Isabelle was so excited that she forgot to lead
up to the question gradually.
Resale raised startled eyebrows, but going
over the possibilities of Isabelle's request, she
could see no harm in them. She said: "Yes.
Have the boys. Have anybody Just 50 you get
rid of the fish,
