CHAPTER VII
SARAH, her leathery block' face
wearing a doubtful eipresstcn.
brought the message.
"Your grandmother wants to see
you. Miss Dana. In ber room
Sunno what 01' Miss wants, but 1
spec It's somethln' opsettln'. I kin
mos' gen'ally tell by de look In ber
eye."
Nancy glanced up. "It wouldn't
surprise ni It Sarah's bunch Isn't
good one," she commented. "Es
pecially since she wants yon to
come to her room."
Both girls were on the porch.
Nancy Bwlnglng lailly In the worn
hammock, Dane sitting nearby.
"What difference does the room
make?" Dana asked curiously.
' "It's an awe-Inspiring place
that room," Nancy Informed ber.
. "Wait until you see It. Furnished
with antiques that took a prlte at
an exposition once Id the old days
when the family treasury over
flowed. Grandmother has bung
onto them. I've an idea she feels
like a queen restored to ber throne
when she closes the door of that
room behind her. All the drab
realities of life are shut out. It's
'' an audience you're being granted.
. Wait and see!"
"Ridiculous," Dana thought,
1 making her way np the stairs. She
' knocked hesitantly, the picture
' Nancy had evoked In her mind.
When her grandmother's "Come
In," admitted ber, Dana stood tor
a moment startled by the accuracy
. of Nancy's description.
Seated In a high-backed straight
chair, her head raised Imperiously,
Grandmother Cameron did give the
Impression of royalty conferring fa
. Tors. "Sit down, please, Dana,"
she said.
'
TANA took a seat, glancing about
the large bedroom, filled with
evidences of past magnificence. The
massive bed was elaborately Inlaid,
. and canopied In faded bine damask.
- The dresser and wardrobe were of
- the same design.
Yes. truly the aged woman could
achieve here the lady-of-tbe-honse
feeling, forgetting the shabblness
s so apparent In other parts ot her
- home, the petty problems and econ-
omies that must be so distasteful.
"The dresses have come." Mrs.
Cameron said slowly. "Ellen and
I drove to town for-them."
"Ob," Dana began Impulsively
"that's whyl Nancy and I were
wondering why they didn't come."
' She stopped In embarrassment.
"I never have believed in accept
ing things from tradespeople un
less I am sure my Instructions bave
been carried out. But the dresses
are as they should be so we brought
them home."
Dana did not reply, wondering
at lier own constraint. She wished
. the could be natural with her
grandmother.
"I was gratified, Dana," Mrs.
Cameron went on, "when yon
asked Ronald Moore to receive
with you. Nancy seems to dislike
him because his father happened
- to hare the ability to make and
keep a fortune. The older I grow,
the more I believe money Is essen
tial as an armor ot protection
tgalnst the irritations of life."
Dana was thinking, "She wants
Nancy and me to marry rich men.
Well, why doesn't she come right
out In the open and say so!"
"It's absurd to think a person
can't be fine and worth-while be
cause they have money," Mrs. Cam
eron said, her eyes fixed appraising.
ly on her granddaughter. "Don't
: you agree with me?"
"Of course," Dana answered.
"Lots ot times people who have
money are nicer, because they're
been given tbe chance to cultivate
their minds and Improve their per
tonalities." She expressed this con
viction simply. :
jlTRS. CAMERON nodded approv
aL "I have always said It was
Just as easy to love a rich man
u a poor one. And how different
your life will be If you choose a
rich one."
. "1 shouldn't think money would
make as much difference as somo
31 her things, though," Dana de
murred. "Poppycock! Blood, fine stock
and heritage are very well, Dana.
But they count less these days, nnd
count for nothing If you haven't
the money to back them up. I hope
" you will make a wise choice when
you decide to marry, child. It
' would break my heart If you
didn't."
Dana laughed. "I'm afraid I'd
make a poor poor-man's wife," she
said. "I'm pretty helpless. Any
way, maybe no one will ever ask
me to marry them. If nobody does.
I'll go to work. There must be
lome talent I can use."
"Your talent Is your beauty." Her
trandmother'8 voice was calm and
, sssured. "It's the greatest talent
., t woman can have If she uses It
' , risoly."
Dana's face flushed unhappily. It
Bounded dreadful, the way ber
grandmother snld that Cold
blooded and material. Like selling
yourself for money.
Mrs. Cameron went to the ward
robe and took out a large box.
"Hore Is your dress." she said. "I
hope It will be. becoming.",
"Thank jtou, Grandmoiher." Dana
Jhj ove
Cwitl NCA ran
took' the big box, wondering why
the did not feel happier. .
She carried the dress to her
room and placed It on the bed.
Then she went back to the porch.
"Our drcBses bave como," she
told Nancy.
Nancy uouudiU from Ihs swing
'Why. how could they I I've beeu
lore all morning oh, I see. Grand
mother bad them. Are they all
light?"
"I suppose so." Dana said (lowly,
"1 haven't tried mine on yet."
Nancy smiled. "Wasn't I right)

counting the empty places In her
money box and dealing out favors
for a price!"
Dana smiled, a little ruefully.
Nancy did know her grandmother
rather well. All the sweetness and
fineness seemed to have been
burned out ot Grandmother Cam
eron with only bitterness and pride
left. Yet. somehow, there was
something tragic and pathetic
about ber.
IVANCY had put on the new dress.
' Downstairs she could hear
sounds of preparation for the party
which added to ber excitement. Her
dark eyes glowed and her hands
trembled as she, lifted the delicate
cloud ot white over her head.
There, It was on clipping down
over her slender young body like
a sheath, flaring out In stiff and
smart lines falling to the floor.
Warm color splashed Nancy's
cheeks as she stared at herself In
the mirror.
She thought happily, "Well, I'm
Improved! Nobody could possibly
deny that. It I could only wear
clothes like this all the time, 1
might have a chance" she broke
off, unwilling to complete the
thought
Tonight Ronnie would see her
In something beside a make-shift
tennis outfit or that old rag ot an
organdy she'd been wearing tor
ever and anon.
"I'm Just a goose," Nancy told
ber image In the glass. "It's a
case ot arrested mental develop
ment, I suppose. I might be only
18, the way I feel."
"Here's your flowers, honey."
Sarah's voice came from the halt
Nancy opened the door. .
"My goodness, you looks nice!"
Sarah's admiration was uncon
cealed. "My. my. ain't that a beau
tiful dress! And when you puts
dem flowers on "
"Hush the chatter. Sarah, and
help me with this string," Nancy
said. Her voice showed that she
was pleased.
' It would hare been dreadful It
Ted Stansbnry had forgotten flow,
era, but he had not. Here they
were!
Tbe top ot the box came oft and
the tissue paper parted. "Roses."
Nancy said slowly. Of course roses
were nice. But this dress seemed
to require some particular gor
geousness. Nancy lifted the pink
buds and secured them to her
shoulder. Ridiculous to be dlsap
pointed.
"Miss Dana got some flowers,
too," Sarah announced. '
"Dhmn," said Nancy, studying
the effect of the shoulder bouquet
In the mirror. She gathered np
the lovely lengths ot her new frock
and went down tbe hall to Dana's
room.
Scarcely waiting for her knock
to be answered, Nancy Bung the
door wide. Dana was standing be
fore a long mirror. Her slender
young arms were lifted as she
pinned a bouquet ot vivid orcblds
to her shoulder. Clouds ot white
swirled about her slender figure.
Her eyes were bright with happi
ness. A smile parted her lips.
The smile that had curved
Nancy's own month a moment be
fore was gone. She stood in tbe
doorway, surveying ber sister. She
thought bitterly, "What's the use
ot having a new dress? Dana's
beautiful. I've never seen anyone
as beantlful before." '

People are changeable. King
George II cruised back to his
people on the Helle, which, we un
derstand, he was told to get out
ot Greece in 1923.

idea of civilized warfare Is lines
of men meeting in open combat,
but forgot to offer his choices for
