Undisturbed, Kitty surveyed her sis- ter, immaculate in unrufied, unrum- pled, tailored linen. “Of course, Vir- ginia, you're a distinguished settle ment angel and all that, but if you don’t think more about clothes you'll gradually drop off even the semi-femi- nine touches and emerge as Dr. Mary Walker,” she declared, severely. “And sis is really a good looker,” put in Tom. Virginia, patient disapproval person- ified, absent-mindedly salted her breakfast food instead of her egg. “A woman with a sense of her responsi- bilities,” she murmured, “realizes that life is too short to waste on such a trivial consideration.

The next afternoon Kitty was apply- ing powder over cold cream in an pation of a round of tennis when Vir ginia appeared at her door, a blouse in one hand, a long pink ribbon and a i scrap of lace in the other. Her eyes were perplexed and her face was flushed. “Kitty, you know so much about fashion, will you advise me? Do you think some lace at the throat would add a pleasing feminine touch to this blouse? And is this pink too bright for a belt?” In spite of the shock Kitty con- trived a coherent commonplace. “Very becoming, Jinny. Shall I tie the rib. bon for you?” Virginia handed it to her with a grateful look. “I wish to be a credit to the club this afternoon because I've been delegated to explain our settle- ment system to your friend Dorthy's cousin, Mr. Rogers.
