IMORNING STAR .sr Marian Sims B.YNOPSM: Bmllu Felton ha jutt returned to colleoe from epena inn a moet exciting Eaeter vacating trlth her roommate, Judith Carroll at the Carroll plantatton arlhet south In Alabama. It viae a tileae ant change trom Emily'e own Inju rious but primly managed home and beeides. Judith's handnnme brother David has fallen in love vith Emily. He hna eve- written her a letter, practically unheard o; tor him. Saw he-le arriving to eee. her at college.

Nothing but full retreat save her trom being klaaed beforf an Interested audience of at least twenty people. David's affections. Ilka David him alt, ware absolutely uninhibited. . "David!" sha protested. "Would you blast my reputation?" Ha looked surprised and hurt. "Then let's go somewhere else, where I can kiss you." "There Is nowhere else. I'm freshman." "Do you mean that we've got to sit ) fn this this mausoleum, with the entire student body doing picket duty at tbe dooi ?" "This mausoleum" was the fresh man parlor: a thing of red plush and golden oak, redolent of past gran- deur. Emily laughed. "I'm afraid o." "Then let's drive In to town. It's Dearly dinner-time anyhow, and 1 want you to have dinner with me and go to a theatre afterwards. A alee, dark theatre," he added per uaslvely. "My darling, 1 can't," she told him ruefully. "Only seniors can have din ner with men In town." David ran an agonized hand through his hair. He looked more natural that way and Emily felt better. "Oh, my God!" ha groaned. Emily seated herself on tbe red plush sofa, beneath the portrait of the school's first president. "David, I'm sorry. If you bad only given me nough notice I could have arranged to go home for the week-end. 1 want you to meet Mother and Dad, any how." She felt a pang of uneasiness at the Idea of tbat meetlug. Mr. Felton would be all right, but ber mother would be Instinctively distrustful or anything so attractive and unre strained aa David. "Child, how could I? I didn't know it myself. I sat down to write you a tetter, and suddenly I couldn't re member what your mouth looked like! So 1 got In the car and came. And now 1 want to kiss you so badly 1 hurt. I'm going to see the Dean and ask her If I can't take you in town." She started. "David, you're notl" "I am." He patted her hand. "Walt for me." Miraculously, Dr. Markham was In her office and alone. David smoothed his hair and entered. Not ven Deans made him conscious of his feet , "1 coma aa a suppliant," be an nounced without preamble. Dr. Markham looked Hurtled, but not entirely displeased. Like most Victorian spinsters she was not In sensible to men, particularly to handsome young men who weren't In the least afraid of her. It was a decided point In her favor; perhaps one of the secrets of her success. It enabled her to keep the common toucb. - "A suppliant for what?" she asked. "A great favor. Suppose you were a young man," Intentionally he flat tered her powers of Imagination, "that was terribly In love. And sup pose you drove a hundred miles to see the object of your affections and found tbat Just because sha was a freshman a falling she'll outgrow soon enough, heaven knows you couldn't even see ber except In a par lor that the entire freshmen class was using as a race-track. Wouldn't It," he appealed, "make you tear your hair?" T"R. MARKHAM was charmed. She felt entirely divested of her awe Inspiring robes of stale. She felt hu man and confidential. "It would. Indeed," she confessed. "Then won't you let me take her to town to a movie?" "I wish I might." she said In her gentle, precise voice, "but If I made an exception 1 should never have a moment's peace. Can't you see how many youn mm there are who come hee li li your preslcanieat and wW a ain'tn arerraVsit I "KM et leum," t.vU tZth " ) la ' ptlmaa sincerely, because Emny was ouv .. ber favorite students. She looked thoughtful. "Since you have come such a long distance 1 will make a concession. Emily may entertain you in one of tbe senior parlors. They are," she concluded with a mis chievous twinkle, "quite private." David beamed upon ber. "If this weren't a business tTlce," he told her warmly, "I would kiss your hand In gratitude." In the Intimacy of the tiny slttleW room he caught Emily to h:l and held her close, while time stood quite still. "Sweet," he whispered, his lips moving hungrily over her face. She couldn't speak ; she could only cling to him, and feel the rough, un steady beating of his heart. They sat close together on a couch, while Emily asked eager questions that David answered: about tbe plantation, bis father and mother, tbe puppies, the horses. Then twi light fell, and Judith came In from laboratory, bringing with her light and gaiety and a smell of sulphuric acid. "How on earth," Emily asked when the greetings were over, "did you know where to find us? I was lust going out to phone you." Judith grinned Impishly. "I couldn't have helped knowing; they've Just Issued a grapevine extra about It Rumor has it that David hypnotized Dr. Markham to get her consent to this. Everything." sha told him with affectionate sarcasm, "seems to be grist that comes to your mill. There ought to be a law against you." They went In to dinner soon after tbat, and David was the focus of a hundred palra of eyes. He seemed quite unaware of the attention, but Emily and Judith glowed with a re flected glory. He left next morning, promising to be back very soon, and the daya after tbat were merely days, with twenty -four Interminable boura apiece. COMMENCEMENT. The campus wna crowded with parents, rsdl aut with pride for their daughters' achievements; with seniors, radiant with pride tor their parents. There were Innumerable festivities. In which freshmen bad no part. Judith, who bad a hearty contempt for pageantry and traditional observ ances, decided to go home. "Exams are over tomorrow," she announced, "and there are plenty of doting parenta to alt around and dote, so I'll never be missed." "Then I might as well go too," Emily decided. School without Ju dith had no charms whatever. "I wish you would come up home for a while first. After you get to Carroll1 ton you'll never tear yourself away." "I wish I could." That was Inac curate; whatever Judith wished, sha could. She confessed at last: "To tell you the truth, I'm homesick Why can't you come home with me?" The prospect was alluring. "I'm afraid I can't. .Mother's aucb a stick ler for rules that she'll never let me come again until you've been up home." "In that case I'll be there as soon as I've run home and kissed the fam ily. Then you enn come back with me." They spent the aftcruoou packing. Emily packed carefully, mindful of her mother's scrutiny when tbe truuk was opened at home; Judith flung tennis rackets, panama hats and shoe polish democratically in to gether. "What about books and pictures?" Emily asked. "We'll get a big wooden box and store 'em. Then all we'll have to do will be to move 'em to Ecphsmore Hall In September. The rugs and blankets can go to the clenners, and they can worry over getting thoso home for us." They slept that night In a single bed, because all but two sheets hsd been packed, snd because the pros pect of a separation left them both a little shakeu. William arrived with the Felton car at ten, and Emily drove Judith to the station before she left. She went with her to the gate, where the conductor stopped her. They looked at each other deeply, without speaking; then one corner of Judith's mouth lifted. "No Bow. era." "No," Emily agreed. "And besides, you've promised to come hack right a wey." "1 have. And we Carrolls keep our promises or die!" She stooped and klsseS Emily sickly. at the crowd engulfed her. Tm itntli't was suddenly drab and 'v a at ri () it ten. by 9tHait stmel 7" TALENT, 8-pt. 7.
