clasped, aha aaw th second half of
th rsrus. But when they cam out
Allan and Dick wer watting In the
lobby; and It was to Phina that Allan
spoke easily and graciously, not to
Irta.
TMy name's Allan Beckley. I think
yoa know my mother, Mrs. Wlllson
Beckley. This Is Madame Phina
Weatherley. I know."
Aunt Phtna's even teeth gleamed.
Otherwise Phina, Tea, Indeed, your
mothers figure Is my prldel And

"Better com," aald Dicky cheerily,
"When Allan get his aya on you

I don't know how ha handles you

Phina more or less Ignored DIoky.
"My girls say they're coming," she
tsld sweetly to Allan.
"Thanks a lot." be sal! also ig

- Aa softly and easily aa be bad

a moment,
"Don't fall for him. Not safe! rail
for me!" he etags-whlspered, and
shouldered his way after Allan.
- "But, Phina, honestly, she didn't
ask Blgrld and me!" Iris gasped aa
they aettled themselves In the taxi.
Even Owen laughed.
"Qooale, this Isn't tba Assembly
Set in the seventies," be said. .
"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.
As she stared Owen'a kind gray

and comtou. i..r very own brotherl
She knew, at that moment, that she
was on his side In the warfare over
Slgrld. She'd help him as much as
she possibly could.
HEN she woke next morning she
was lost at first. 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?
Instead she was staring at a group
of gay rat-faced French gentlefolk
In woolly colors having an eight
eenth century fete galante Inside I
gilt frame. Her arms lay on a deei

soft rose blanket

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. I can
drive, now."
Oh, yea. all you young things
pick it up. Whst shout dancing?"
Well, what you'd learn from tbe
others."

Strange a a It seems, a personal
check made payable simply to "Col
ored Man with One Leg" waa written
by President Lincoln and presented
to the crippled man described on the
check.
The president encountered the man
aa he walked through a park on bla
way to tbe White House on a late
summer day In 1863. He listened to
the man's story then drew the strange
check for 85 In hie favor. i
Junction City, in Arkansas and
Louisiana, la a small town but It op
erates under more lawn and officials
than many of tbe larger cities. 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. The poetoffice Is
located on the Arkansas side of tbe
town, hence according to the federal
goi'ernment, the city la officially
Junction City. Ark., but the govern
ment la broad-minded about it and
will deliver mall addressed to Junc
tion City, La., or Junction City, Ark.-La.
