They were a part Of the Queller-

Pam glanced around the loved
and familiar scene. She realized
suddenly she had not expected
things to be so unchanged. She
wouldn't have been surprised to
ind them quite different Meeting
jerry had done that.
And meeting Jerry had done
other things. II had given her
suddenly intense house love. The
charming old home in which she
lived with Guam and his wife Me-
lIta, had always been a thing she
held close to her heart. But now
It was closer than ever.
Pamela Quellerton's was an in
terestiag place.
Her great-grandmother, who
had been the first Quellerton
bride to live in the house, was Of
pure New England stock. and her
grandfather dashing, daring
mixture of Bahaman, Spanish and
English.
There had been much pleasant
and interesting living IN the
house. The women its roof COW
cred seemed to carry a tradition
of happiness, Pam thought as she
stood looking at her work table
with its unfinished orders. Even

with her father IN an airplane ac-
eident on the way TO Miami. That,
Pam reflected, was the way her
mother would have wished il. She
would have found life without
the husband who had been SO de-
voted to her, unbearable.
There had been little left be-
sides the charming old house, its
furnishings, fine old silver and
linens brought from far and in
teresting places by the seamen
who had been master there. Quel-
lertons had lived too well, too
improvidently," some people said
but Pam liked to think Htoo
happily save much Pam had
taken naturally to the native arts
and crafts.
You'll probably marry, dar-
ling" her mother often said.
"Quellerton women always do.
But it's a comfort to see you
able to do these things 50 well.
If you ever had to, you could
make your living that way"
Pam had never known an un-
happy moment between her ia
lher and mother. And she pre-
ferred the legacy Of that memory

spent their money In comfort and
happiness. for she had at her fn-
gertips q way to make her living.
She made hats Of eocoanut palm.
