“D0 you. Mr. Brown? '.l'hen why look at mo?" _ : Bill had wakes! without ceref mony into the kitchen when Arpril was pressing voluminous folds of renovated pink curtains. It was an anxious business, fa-r the iron stuck, the ruffles geemed miles long, and upstairs Min Zora was waiting ' T tfentiy to over- see the processes of ha-ntilll and adjusting.

“I'd be charmed to mee ‘em. Is Mrs. Bundy responsible or the heavenly smells that haunt this

"Chocolate cake. She's having it with baked apples and cream." Arpril sniffed wlstfully "You can't stay today though. Bill, and hﬂtllt‘! can I.

"And what. kind of a filrl am I?" “The kind flint isn't. Why did you fell me that rubbish about Parker caring for Gwvenn Harding? sirc told me——"

"Eihe told you you might cut Ten out if you liked? That she was free, white, and “Monty-one and waiting for a new adorer?"

"Slop nagging, please," Bill scowled. "I'm serious. I remember very well whet you told rherthe first day I came here, the day we had the fight about the grocer.

"Nonsense" Bill reddened, re- membering the three invitations. the daily telephone calls he had from Gtlttlm that week. “What 1m getting at is this," he con inued. "you" said hem rwas nathln be- tween you and Parker." I "There isn't. I haven't seen any- thing of ‘fen for months."

April was planning to be very careful, tactful and discreet. In a mood irf not christened, at least not quite as audacious -as usual. April approached the Van Eldon mansion and her new job.

"I was late-almost five mlnutem! I'm hardly ever promipt." April looked up hopefully, "Do you really: think Itrn fit to take Penny's pilﬁﬂ: even- for a short time, Mrs. Van‘ Eldon?" ,

"You will be able to make your- self usefui under my guidance,” Mrs. Van Elden said firmly. She added l.n kinder tones. "It will be pleasant to have my dear old friend's granddaughter near me for a while. Now you may go, April,
