x PERMANENT VAMP (® by DJ.

She used to talk to me across the fence. It seemed that she and Reherta had gone to school together, and af- er Robert fiiarried Mr. Caperton been eee chang she was then a had with all of his wealth, had arrived, Sybil's parents had both died and left her penniless. Roberta snatched at the chance and took Sybil in, making the girl a her own pretty feet upon. Outsiders knew Miss Cramer for Mrs. ton's companion and secretary. Whenever there was company, Sybil was always about, quist and unas suming In some corner, waiting to perform the little duties that the hos tess shirked. 1 should have died at such a Job. She was always wear ing Roberta's cast-off clothes, too: and then there were the children Mrs. Caperton was one of those wom en who think that their duty is com pleted when thelr children are born The twins and Roberta were utter strangers, but Sybil played with them, nursed them, bound their fin- gers when they were hurt, and made custard for them when they were sick. The most unbearable part of her, how- aver, was the pretense of a love affair with Reggie Wade, Jeggle was for: ever dining with the Capertons., Ro- berta made the excuse that he was devoted to her secretary, but of course, anybody with a grain of sense could see through the game. Over and over agafh I used to say to auntie, “Why does Sybil Cramer stay and make such a fizzle of her life? She is bright and capable and could hold down a position with n good salary attached to it and have some freedom and Independence.” jut auntie would pever talk about Sybil, although 1 noticed that she was always extremely courteous and kind to the girl whenever she had the op portunity. All through my visit the affairs of the Capertons were a never ending source of delight to me. Per haps it was because they were so wealthy and entertained so lavishly, and all that sort of thing. At any rate, it was better than watching a picture show to sit at auntie’s living room window when they had dinner parties and look through the venetian baleony and great, high casements in to the Capertons’ dining room. No mat ter who the guests might be, there were slways four persons at those parties that 1 was sure to recognize.
