Betsy slid her supple young body

a comb through her dark curls and
went down the stairs to where Tom
waited for her.

admitted frankly. But | think I'm

Major Edmonds beamed happily
behind her, yet there was some
where in the back of his tired, kind
eyes the faintest hint of a plea for
understanding Of his 1uttering,
girlish wife whom he quite obvi-

Portable in the cottage we've pre-

the major a friendly handshake.
"Oh, you mustn't worry about

like me gets mighty few chances at
anything as beautiful and as lux

somely.
Mrs. Edmonds, her hand pos
sessively through Toms arm, was
leading the way toward the path
across the sand dunes, trailing be-
hind her a rather heady scent of
spicy sweetness. Betsy would have
sworn that Mrs. Edmonds also
trailed the lacy fuffiness of an We

frock of poWder-blue crepe was
quite plain and well cut.

behind her, soft and sweet, but

Betsy turned to the other couple
who still stood on the pier. A small,
cuddly sort Of a blonde girl in a
short, rather rumpled dark frock,
her head bare, her sunny curls tan

confusion. Beside her, a tall, broad
shouldered, husky young fellow
who looked as though he might
have been far more at home in
football toys than in the gray
Stacks and blue pullover sweater he
wore His head was bare, too, and
Betsy saw straW-colored, crisp
locks that would not quite lie
straight.
Before Betsy could speak. the
girl steedied herself against the
mans arm, lifted first one foot and
then the other, gra!ely and thor
ou2hly examining the scuffed,
rather thin sole.

aloud, I'd have Worn they were

Betsy looked puzzled. The young
man muttered something under his

Betsy and asked with bland sweet
