"Anne, have you noticed how much Betty looks like Val Cosby?" Jim asked as we sat cosily around a grate fire the last evening of our stay with Betty and Terry. "That reminds me, little Val Cosby is keen to meet you people." "Betty's hair isn't like lacquer— its's soft, and her eyes aren't hard, either," I replied tactlessly, finding things suddenly as gray as the cold summer rain that had kept us housed all day, but that hadn't seeped into the cheery place till now. •1 should say my hair isn't like lacquer," lamented Betty, creating a diversion that turned Jim's angry glance away from me. "There's a white streak coming right on my left temple." "A feather!" said Jim, with his ready gallantry. "It will make you more distinguished than ever, Betty. And it'll make every man who sees you to long to punch Terry's head in case the brute caused the un timely frost." "James—at his pet occupation of blarneying the particular woman I'c's not interested in." laughed Bet ty. "Anne, have you noticed thut about these philandering men folks? They've a light word of flattery for i'!l the lassies, yet they sometimes the one who's in their hearts f ir very shame at their own tender ness." "I hadn't noticed." I gasped, wondering if this were actually so. rr if Betty had said it merely to rheer me up since Jim's abrupt manner in talking to me was in sad contrast to Terry's tenderness with Betty. "Well, when you are my age and cray haired," continued Betty in the k'ndest pos-ible tone, "you'll know that love always comes home to roost, though he sometimes stops on the way and sings a patricularly fine song on a bough where a stranger is pruning her pretty feathers." When we got upstairs I couldn't resist referring to what Betty had said. "Jim. do you think love always l rnmrs home to roost- —at last?" 1 ventured. • i "Love?" began Jim. arguments-! lively. "That depends on what you J mean by 'love.' I often wonder if i what folks call by that name isn't ! j''st infatuation or propinquity or ?pring time. Any pretty woman gets' most men going for a while—the job is to pick the right one.

For an instant David DeLaine re tained the small bag, his eyes fixed on the glittering letters. Then, with a start, he appreciated that the : owner was holding out her hand I for her property. "I—l beg your pardon," he ex claimed restoring it to her, and at the same time raising his hat. He did not meet her gaze, but glanced away. The most casual ob- , server might have noticed that some- ] thing had shaken his equanimity. "I shall not need you until a quarter of one. Smith," Miss Leigh-1; ton said; "or—no, I shall not need; you even then. I will remain here. to work," she explained to the friend j ' who stood waiting for her, "until, • noon, then get luncheon somewhere! and go to an exhibition of paintings! for which I have cards. Why don't • you stay down and we will go to-; * gether? 1 have two tickets of ad-i .mission to the exhibition." j] "I would like to," Helen GoddardiJ agreed. j; "Then I shall not want the car, ] j Smith," Desiree said—and now her; ! chauffeur looked directly at her. Hej 1 had had time to overcome his mo- j ( mentary embarrassment. "You may:' go for Mr. Leighton at five. I doj f not know when I will get home.!' Drive by the house and tell Norah —but no—l will telephone to her r that I shall not be back for lunch- (i eon. Just take the car to the!t garage, and do as you please until j 1 time to go for Mr. Leighton." j t She would not confess to herself i ( that she did not want Smith and j Norah to meet and chat again to- s day. She would have scouted such j t a suggestion. Yet somewhere in thejf back of her mind the idea was work- j 1 ing. It was this that had decided ] 1 her to telephone to her house of her j t change of plans instead of sending 1 a verbal message by David. j i "Some class to your chauffeur!" | i Helen Goddard remarked as the twoji girls went upstairs together to the j t Red Cross rooms.

"In the first place, he held the thing for fully half a minute, looking at it as if he thought It might bite me if he gave it to me. 1 Then, when he did hand it to me, he ' lifted his hat and bowed —instead j of simply touching his hat as he ! should have done." "You are very exacting," her com panion remarked. "I thought he had a wonderful bearing." "One does not wish a wonderful bearing from one's chauffeur," De siree objected. "But," more gently, "I must not be top hard on him. | He has been with us for only a little while. He will learn soon." "Well, he may not be an ideal chauffeur, but he could give some young men I know lessons in courtly manners," Helen Goddard insisted. These comments returned to De siree's mind as she rolled bandages and made compresses. David Smith was a peculiar character. She found him hard to exp'ain. His references had been excellent, and, to make assurance doubly sure, her father had privately made inquiries from an acquaintance living near the town in which the writer of those refer ences lived. This acquaintance had | reported that James Carey was one | of the most highly respected citizens of that community. Desirce decided at last that she must have some obscure complexity in her mind that made her thoughts turn to this young man. It was not her habit to concern herself with the ways or characters of her fath er's or her own employes. As for David Smith DeLaine him self, his thoughts were even busier than were those of his employer s daughter. One of the objections he had found to the position of chauf feur was that it left him too much time in which to think. To avoid hours of inaction, he had recently indulged in the extravagance of buy ing some books that he wanted to read, and had become deeply inter- j ested in them. His Thoughts Wander But this afternoon his thoughts | strayed from the volume of Conrad, that, last night, he had found so j absorbing. For before his eyes two letters, danced. They were D. L. It was useless to remind himself that the D might stand for "Dor-j othy," or "Dorcas," or "Doris," ori any one of a dozen names. He was | sure that this girl—the daughter of his employer was Desiree) Leighton. "And what if she is?" he de manded fiercely of himself. "What| difference does that make to you?" None at all, of course—only it j made his adventure really more j thrilling than he had anticipated. He wished he had kept some ofj his aunt's letters in which she had j spoken of her favorite. He tried to j recall what she had told him of the j girl. Probably she had said she was j 1 | Fragrant Instantaneous Coffee Made By a New and Exclusive; Process The nearer to the. boiling point you i bring your water when making cof- I fee, the greater amount of oils and other properties are lost.

"But then I could not have been her father's chauffeur now," he said aloud—"always supposing that the young lady for whom I am now driving is really the young person whom Aunt Jeanne wanted me to marry.
