"I don't think I shall be nervous,"
Elizabeth said. Netta drank her tea In
silence.
"And If you spoil my frock .I'll never
forgive you," she said suddenly after
a moment. ' '
Elizabeth flushed.
"I did net want te wear your frock,"
she said defensively. "It was Mr.
Roysten's suggestion."
It had been Roysten's suggestion.
He had asked what Elizabeth pro
posed te wear, and when she hesitated,
pointedly asked. Nettd about (the new
frock. , ,,
"Miss Cenycrn and you are much
about the same build,", he said, "and it
will be some time before you can get
about again, I am afraid, Netta, se
why net let Miss Conyers wear it?"
Netta, flew Inte n rage at first. No
body cared that she was in pain and
mlsernblc, se she stormed. Why' should
Elizabeth have her.new frock?
"I don't want it, I will wear my
own," Elizabeth had declared, and
walked out of the room.
She took her own net very, smart
frock from the wardrobe, shook It out
and tried te make the best of It.'
People would net leek at her, frock,
but at her dancing, was the hope with
which she tried te console herself;
but she knew It was net all the truth :
she had many times heard Netta say
that frocks were half the' battle at a
"show," and her heart sank a little.
It .was net until after lunch; when
Roysten had gene,, that Netta' Bald
sulkily: '
"Yeu can wear my frock; I prom prem
ised Pat you should."
Elizabeth's cheeks flamed.
"Thank you, but I would rather
net," she said quietly.
"There yea are! Always se proud!
I Buppese you think it's net geed
enough. Pa! will be furious." She
began te cry In earnest.
Se Elizabeth gave way, and, ting
ling with excitement, she had tried the
new frock en and presented herself for
Netta's approval.
v"It might have been made for you,"
was the" elder girl's grudging comment.
"It's lpvely!" Elizabeth said with a
long drawn -in breath,.
She mounted en a chnlr te catch a
glimpse of herself in Mrs. Sllcum's
gilt -framed mirror which hung above
the sideboard, and her heart beat fast
at the sight of her dainty reflection.
Although she knew that she was no
longer the dowdy, countrified girl she
had been when she came te Londen from
Dllbury, yet she had never believed it
possible for her te be quite se transformed.
The frock was made of the palest
sky blue, with a skirt much frilled
en the hips with foamy tulle, nnd the
skimpy bodice held by shoulder straps
of tiniest rosebuds.
"Oh, I never thought I should have
such n frock!" she snld with a little
gasp. "Ne wonder people can be happy
If they can wear such things."
Netta looked contemptuous.
."A' If frocks matter," she said,
wearily. "I wouldn't care what I
were If I " She broke off; 'Teu
talk like a baby," she said sharply.
Elizabeth clambered down from the
chair and carefully discarded the frock.
"It's dear of you te let me have it;"
she said gratefully.
"It's only because I premised Pnt,"
was the answer. "He's been bucIi a
sport te me, I'd walk barefoot from one
end of the world te the ether, if he
asked me te." Then she laughed,
ashamed of her vehcmcncci
That had all been befere tea, se
Elizabeth was rather, hurt and sur
prised when late in the afternoon
Netta suddenly turned disagreeable
again. ,
"I told you I didn't want the frock."
Elizabeth protested, flushing. "I'll
wear my own.".
"And Pat would be furious!" Netta
snapped. "Ne, of course, you must
wear it. I premised. And you'll have
te get dressed seen ; he'll be here nt 7
o'clock." y"
Elizabeth glanced at the clock. It
was a quarter te 0.

Only another hour, and then
her excitement faded as she looked at
Netta's drawn face.
"I wish you could co instead of mi."
she said impulsively.
She went ever te where the elder
girl lay eti the couch anil bent te kiss
her, but. te her surprise. Netta lerkeil
her head away. ,

Elizabeth drew back.
'Why. what de you mean?" kIip
stammered.
iNetta urew remorseful at once. Shn

A little chill had fallen upon her when
she went te her room. She steed for

dress, n troubled leek In licr eyes.
What had Netta meant?
But she dismissed the thought. Th
wonderful night lay before her, and

had never been mere sure of herself.
Her eyes shone like stars when nres.

greater importance titan the fact that

As she opened her ocareom deer she
heard his voice In the sitting room op

of unconquerable shyness.
What would he think of her? Would
he think she looked as sweet and
dainty as the mirror had declared? It
cost her an nctual effort te walk into
the room where Keysten and Netta
waited,
"Well, here 1 am," she said nerv
