"Well, dear," sighed Aunt Mary, "all right, you may go, but be sure to be back by 6 o'clock." With a laughing remark, and a wave of her hand, Joyce Lynd was off, walk ing briskly down the country road. She vvas a xery Jolly girl and exceedingly popular In the small town. Since her parents died, ten years before, she had lived with her aunt. Miss Mary Lynd, on the old homestead. After walking for about two miles along the dusty road, Joyce turned Into a small pastuie.

She sang to herself, while ohe was picking and consequently the time passed faster than she realized But she would not leave until she had all the flowers she could carrs tn both hands. "I'll come again tomorrow," she said to herself, "and then maybe I'll have enough to send a nice bouquet to all ms' friends Won't that be nice?
