sure Dick would find some way to try his luck And I was just as sum he would have luck

Ciara had two tickets given her

for a wonderful concert at Carnegie Hull, and then we were to go to a studio tea. in the same building. I was delighted that I had my new dress to wear. I would bsrsure to meet someone l knew, and Mildred was to be there-another reason

that I wanted to look nice.

As I dressed I thought of Dick

and the chance, as I now thought of it, that he had to make money. it took away all feeling of any. thing wrong in the purchase of the smart dress I donned. lf he could make money, ns Ciara said he could. and wouldn’t, why be wasn't

Mrs. Dooly had lust come in to

stay with Junior, when the bell F8118. Sho answered the door for

me. It was Mrs. Gray.

"I have been canning suing peach

es. I kept out enough for our des. aert tonight, und thought perhaps you and Mr. Williams might also enjoy them." She gave me n glass bowl filled with wonderful peach-

es. ,

“This is so nice of YDU." I Said.

It was whu.t,thc neighbors did at home, so I was not unused to such little kiudncsses. `

“I am only pleased if you enjoy

them," sho said, then left. Some- way the'littlu homely thought made au impression upon me out of all proportion to the act. it was the first thing of the kind that had hup peued to me in New York. Clara had been kind, Mildred generous;

but hlrs. Gray, a perfect stranger, hadnivided her dessert with me. In my next letter to mother I told

her all about it.

I niet Clara at the entrance to

Carnegie. and we wont in together, Ciara looked vcry nice-ahe always did, but I knew. even before she said se, that I was far more stylish ly dressed, that I outshono licr.

It flattered my vanity, and I chatted happily, never giving tt' thought to the duy of reckoulngl that must surely come. I
