At the touch of his arm she stirred

repeated the formula which is ns old as

"Exnctly," she said demureiv whim
blcnl. "I came down fiem Wnlhnlla
te eiler you the opportunity."
"And you knew?" he asked.
"Itamcscs, dear, would you have mc
as much of n mummy us you?"
There being no Impediment thnt
either could discover had they wished
te de se, Clierrv and David arranged
te mnrry In .September. In her newlv
found happiness she still found It in
her heart te be resentful of her mother's
marriage te Jehn Chichester, which wns
performed very quietly In Ualtlmore less
than two months after James Mehtiu's
deuth. The Inevitable criticism of her
baste wns based largely upon the sup- !
position that Alicia feared thnt she t
migiit lese her Demi-Jehn. When thev
returned te live nt Ileslyn Towers, until
the town house wns opened, Cherrv did
net accept the Invitation te visit them.
I'crhnps some dny, when time had worn
the edges from her sorrow nnd pity,
she could forglve Alicia but net
jet.
The example set bv Cherry was tee
much for 'Genie Annltnge, who drove
down te the university with Wl.lv
Itesslter in the flnrtley runabout nnd
proclaimed herself blissfully hnppy.
"Yeu see." she said confidentially te
Cherry, "Ills Adam's apple doesn't
wiggle nearly ns much ns it used te. It
was just nervousness about me I
think."
Aunt Mary Sangree. who had taken
n fancy te her nephew's fiancee, spoke
her mind te Cherry nbeut everything
under the sun with the grcntcst of
freedom. Hut when Cherry, rather
ruefully, brought the news of her
mother's wedding te the Madisen ne
nue house, she fairly outdid bcnclf in
indignation.
"I would net care tn offend veuv
sensibilities, my dear child," she 'said
In her crisp grenadier accents, "nnd I

Casey, known In feminine basketball
elides- ns a plnjcr 0f decided ability.
She is new turning her attention te
basketball and from her showing prom prem

last year are Kutlierlue Hrewn nnd
Louise Cox. but neither sturtcd the
