had never been enough money to re
cover it. There wns a worn place on
one of the cushions. The curtains were
spotless, like everything else in Mrs.
O' Da re's home, but they had quite
obviously been patched and darned.
There were scuffed marks the sort
small, sturdy shoes make on all the
chairs and on the upright piano.
How ababby, Monnie thought with
a pang, all this would louk to the ur
ban eyes of her distinguished visitor.
Ah, but she could change all this in
the twinkling of an eve if onlv sbe
wanted to! No longer need her mother
ruin her eyes over fine mending, pro
longing the life of dr.mask and wool.
No longer need the table be set with
cracked, chipped china. The O'Dares
could have silver and fine linen. Her
mother could have luxury beyond her
brightest dretna. Monnie considered
that she had known the wildness and
despair of first love and it had bnnurht
her nothing. Arthur Mackenzie would
bring her the calm, assured devotion
of middle age. Along with this be
could offer her security and assur
ance.
These thoughts raced through Mon
nie's mind as, before the mirror In the
ball, she touched her hair nervously,
amoothed her frock.
"What are you thinking of?" Kay
asked.
Monnie made a sweeping gesture.
"Wondering what he'll think of all
this."
"Won't like it?"
"Won't V" Monnie wrinkled her
nose, "1 don't much care whether he
does or not. I was thinking how dull
this place must he for Mother. She
knows every worn place in tne rug,

PING down into the neat, little

ul pattern lost. They had bought

"D'ye know," Kay interrupted with
an air of sagacity, "1 don't believe
she inindB so much not as we do.
Every bit of it the sbabbiness I
mean is home to Mother, We're al
ways going about, seeing other peo
ple's things and being envious. But
she never complains."
"Just the same I'd like to he able
to get her new things." said Monnie
sturdily. And someone to help her
to wash dishes and do the henvy part
of the canning. She must have washed
millions of dishes in the last ten
years.
"Not for me" yawned Kay lazily,
I never mean to wash any. When I'm
an old maid I shall live in one room
studio and have a maid in a gray
uniform to wait on me.'
That would be nice," Monnie
agreed dreamily, straightening a pic
ture. "Where is Mums, by the way?
She ran across to Mrs. ('ox with
some broth. Delia is sick with flu or
something."
I wish she'd rest once in a while '
Monnie complained. "The never
stops. It worries me.
She doesn't want to, Kay told Her
older sister. "She loves doing the
things Rhe does."
I guess you're right. But T want
her life to be easier,, just the same,"
.Monnie persisted.
Kav sprang to attention at the
sound of the bell. "Guess that's your
man."
"Dont run away, please!" Monnie
sought. "I'll feel such a fool. Ans
wer the door like a good girl."
Kay complied, looking, in her blue
frock, like a modern angel with a halo
of fair curls. Kay had charming man
ners, Monnie reflected, listening to
her sister's fluty voice in greeting.
Yes, Kay bad a great deal of prom
ise. Unless Monnie did something
about it. though, her sister would be
buried forever in tins small place.
There were all sorts of reasons for
Monnie to accept Arthur Mackenzie,
And no obstacles. Wouldn't it spem
idiocy now for her to refuse him? If
he still wanted her, of jrnr. And she
rather thought he did. His letters of
