"Allan Beckley took pains to make It all right," Phina explained. "Any body can drift In on a party like that They're charming young people, as I thought on the train." Irla supposed they knew best She sat etlll and stared at tba colored adrertlaements that - flapped orer and over in a holder. There were nine before you got back to the first on, two kissing people who adver tised chewing-gum. They looked very magnificent to be addicted to gum. ... It was all very different but Phina must know. She aaw heraelt ss shs passed the long tratneless mirror In tbe down stslrs foyer. She would not have knows Uncle Will's Iris In all this blsck velvet with rose chlffoo toss ing around ber satin slippered feet, except for tbe live excited gray eye shining below the polished waves of duaky hair.

Where was the big engraving of Dclaroche's "Chris tian Martyr" which had always faced ber big brass bed sgalnst its back ground of stained faded blue-and brown wallpaper?

Her arms lay on a deei fuM of monogrammed linen, over.i soft rose blanket She had scarcely oriented herself l- IF w She would net have known Uncli Will's Iris. when Honors came in carrying a gay painted tray with legs, which she set above nor, saying: "Good morning, Miss Iris. I hope you slop! well. Miss Ross Is coming In to chal while you breakfast lt'a the early bird she Is. Will you have sugar on your grapefruit!" "Heaps, please." "My child," said Phina. taut and erect in tailored black, from the Ivory doorway, "do you menu that you have never bad to diet ?" Oh. good morning. Aunt Thlna!" Life tightened and speeded Itself when Miss Ross appeared. Iris, who had been latin comfortably, eat higher on her pillows, snd Honors put a rose silk jacket about her. "No never. I suppose running up snd down stairs kept me thin." "I've come In to discuss plana with you before I go over to the aslon." Phina eat down In the rose and Ivory chair, unsoftened by Its easi ness, but she spoke easily. "I want my little girl to have the happiest possible time. So I want you to tell me frankly what lessons you need what accomplishments you have. Sometimes a lack of equip ment makes all the difference to one's hspplness. To begin with, I'm sending you to a riding school di rectly; and you'd better learn to drive a car unless you know how." Aunt Phina, you re doing such lot! I'd love to learn to ride.

The little town Is divided by the Arkansas-Louisiana state line. The part of it in Arkansas Is In Union county of that state. The part of It In Louis iana la divided by the pariah line between Union pariah and Clarlborne pariah and Is subject in part to the laws of those parishes, or course Junction City has lta own city gov ernment, but hers again It Is divided because of the state line. The part that Is In Arkansas baa a different government than- the part In Louis iana. There are two mayors, two city councils, two complete seta of peace officers In the city government. Two aeta of state laws, two sets of pariah lawa and a set of county officers also govern porta of Junction City. The only set of laws that really gov erns the whole place uniformly are the federal laws.
