IUSTA GIRL i

BY JANE PHELPS

vo-ovoo-oo 004m oo-o-avo-voooo A WALK

CHAPTER 4.

I felt terribly annoyed with Edith Wren for telling me she felt a thrill when Kenneth Lawience looked at her. Even if she had, it wasn't. very nice to talk about it. I, too, liud been thrilled, but I could not speak of it; itseemed too---well, like some holy feeling.

I hud- found out that Kenneth ivas 24 years ‘old. Iwiiiin‘t quite 10, but l'kl'IOW I felt just as old as lie did. They say-whoever "they" l:-:--that girls arc older than boys. I wonder by?

I had told Ed ih iliut Kenneth '

did not like cities, nnd had added rather maliciously: i "'l‘here's no use setting your cap

' for llllll unless you wunt to live on I l

u farm ‘i-‘llll pigs and chickens." "'l‘licy don't have lilfllls in Culi-

Tliey have ranches." .

"What's the difference as long

‘as they liuve ihgpigs and chicken». 'on both?" ‘

‘fl don't care, Zena Stewart; t would r-ttheifliuve pigs iind chick- ens with‘ him than everything else with some of tlie fellows of our set." -

"I suppose we can look for invi- fuiions soon," I jecred, lliiit little hurt. feeling iiguin ln iny lioart.

"Don't be such an idiot!" Edith iuelegantly responded. Sometimes we "girls were terribly slnngy -—— when our parents, weren't around. “Can't i1 glrl say she likes u man without your Jumping at conclus- ions? I don't suppose nny of us will ever see liim again. ulaudlui says lie is going back to what you‘

weeks." .

Soirieway I wanted i0 siiy, “I will see liiui again! lknow it!"—but I bit my lip nnd kept still. TlIPPD was nothing to iba gained by being confidential wllli Edith, and slic riiiglit laugh at me.

It was the day of (‘Iaudizfs illIl- ncr. 1 wanted some little thing to wetir, so I had gone over l0 u sliop in the. Avenue. And who should I see swinging along but Kenneth Lawrence! He seemed very glad to sec me,‘ and asked me if I were out for an airing.

"Ob. no! I-iil-ways take the car when l go out for pleasure. I had a little shopping to do."

"Bu! llllS is ii perfect iliiy for a lung walk. Do your shopping, let me wait i'0r you, then take n. nice long tramp with nie."

"All right, 1 will! llut won't you come into ilie snore?"

“Not if you will excuse me. feel like ii bull in ii eliinn shop in one of your stores. I'll wait right Outside llic door."

THE PAIN OF PRIDE (IHA-VPER 5.

I never liail enjoyed ii walk as I did that one. It was 4 ofclock when I reached home, iind Mother was beginning to worry. \

"Where in the world have you been? l ‘wanted you to'go to tlie dressmukcns \vllli nie this after- noon. but I couldn't wait for you.”

"1 went to the store to buy some gloves, run into Mr. Lawrence — Cluudizfs cousin you kriow—and be IlSkPfl nie to take a walk with him."

“Where did you go "

"Oli, just up the Avenue, then up through the Park and buck. I got tired and we sat down to rest."

"You IIlOilIl tliiit you sat on a Park bench just like any common girl who knew no better. _oi- who hail no other place to entertain lier young mun? I am surprised at you. Zena! Never do such il thing again.

I made no answer, but I thought, "1 surely never sliall unless iny fcet slop hurting," and slipped up to my room to iiikc of iny puin-ps bathe my zicliini: feet. To my lior- 1'01", ilicy were all blistered! Claudia had zirriingerl for dancing after din- ner. How could I dance with blis- tererl feel?

I spent lialf an liour fussing over iliem, but I lind to wear an old pair of slippers because lliey were s1. painful. I put on nice ones until Mother lillfl looked nie over, then went down i0 ilie cur.

Claudio. lei Kenneth liikc Edltli Wren in to dinner. I thought it liorrld of her. But she and Edith were tliiek as thieves, and perhaps she wanted Edith for n cousin. Juck Pryor took me in, nnd I thought that never had he been so uninteresting. so inane. When lie found fuull Iiccnuse I didn't pay attention to liiui instead of ‘looking around lll ilie others, I just told liim so, too. '

"Perhaps i1’ you were more inter- esting I might pay attention," l said snzippily.

"What lll ilie world has gotten into you, Zena? You used to be nwfully cliumrny wltli me untll lately. Have I done anything to annoy you?" . ‘

A BIRTHDAY PARTY - N CllAil-‘TER 6.

I almost hated all our society conventions before I went home tliiit night. Mother alwiiys sent hcr maid after nie In the cur. Just us ilie party -w-.\s breaking up, Ken- neth Lawrence said:

"May I take you home, or have you other arrangements?"

“Thank you, but Mother's maid will cull for me.” I had felt a little out of things all the evening. Of course Kenneth could not sit out all ilie (lance-s wltli nie, and after talk- ing to lilm the boys like Jack Pryor and Gregory iS-tuart seemed awfully piile and uninteresting.

"Your lilotlier is a very wise liiily." lie suld. with a smile. Then, more seriously, "Slic is right. too. In a place like New York one needs to be carcfull’.

lIow I wished Mother weren't quite so careful when I saw him leave wiili Edith Wren. Not that licr nioiiiei‘ wasn't careful, too, but she was so intimate wltli Claudia, I suppose lier mother thought lliey would attend to her getting homo. Afterward I lIGIIIfl slie had intend- ed to reniiiiii all night, but that when Kenneth offered to take Iier lioino in (lluuiliifls new car, she couldn't resist. going.

Dud occasionally talked to me zi-boiii my "beaux" as lie culled the young inen in my set, not as Molli- er talked-of their iveiillli, their manners, their suitn-bilivy as lllL-I biiiiilsfl-but of the men llllllTlS9lVvn. wliiit. lliey were. Tlicii he would tcli nie liis iilca of what a true man wits. He. cautioned me to Boon bcneuth ilie superficial outside, to lciirn to illscriininnte ‘between real viilui- and veneer.

"'l‘iiki: time, (laughter, lo know a man. Don't make the fiiiiil mistake of marrying someone of wlioni you know nothing. l'iii in no burr-v to be rid of my little girl."

“I heard Mother and Mrs. Wren talking one duy. It wiis a long tiiiii- ago. They were speaking of some girl who had been ‘out’ two sviisonzi. and was silll single. They spoke as if it were some sort ul‘ u ilisgraec, its ii‘ that girl was ii fail- UFO,"

“Perhaps you cliil not quite un- dcrsiaiid your Mother, ilcar. lint suppose Mrs. Grundy iloes say such things, and people idly repeal tlieiu. Old Danie Grundy hasn't any (zonscicnce, you know. She loves mi. naiczi people-Ahoy give her something to gossip about."

l knew Futlicr bated to have Alotlier- try to gel me married. But. lie never allowed 1110 to criticize licr, and lie loved lier very (lezirly. While lliey were both persons u.’ strong opinions, I ncvcr heard them quarrel or siiy an unkind word to eueli other.

On iny 19th blrtliduy Mother gave me u wonderful piirly. Kenneth was still in New York, had lingered on for nearly jl. montli, and of course I invited liim.

"We siiall linve to," Mother said, “since iie is (‘laudirfs guest...”

I lind an idea she would have been glad it‘ lie hadn't been, tlien she wouldn't have asked llllll. I liim seen quite ii good dezii of llllll——lll. the homes of the girls. where he was included in all invitations to (llauillzi, at ilie opera, and several times in the street.

I lizid tiiken several long WfllkS with liim, ‘but liad not told Mother, What was the use of making licr uncomfortable? I was ciireful now iimn I sum Krona sioau in“ um.“ 0i out, i-zither clumsy walking boots I liiui worn in school. One never knew when one mlglit incei. another who loved n lung trump! I didn't think it wrong not to tell Mother. I was very careful never to again sit on ii bench in the park; or to stay around where any bf her friends would see us.

Kenneth was going home, back to California, ilie day after my liirllitlay. I told liim that niglii liow sorry I was to have (liim g0, and lie inzide nie ilie queerest zinswer:

"It is time I went. I mlglii say things I have no right to say to a girl like you."

I never looked toward Mother. I didn't d-ire. I just said I would. and lie held my liund tigaiii. Then he said good-bye to ‘Mother.

Mother gave inc an awful talking in after lie left. ‘She said I "sim per-ed," and tinted silly with a young mun whom I would never see again. I asked lier if she would call it simpering ifIt had been Jack Pryor or Gregory Stuart. She fluslieil red as could be and changed the subject.

I ivondered a lot what Kenncili meant by that remark he made at my birthday pi1Tly—-lllill. lie might say things he liad no right to suyl to u girl like me. I was just like‘ the other glflfil—~(llilllfllfl, Rose, and Edith. How l wished lie had said
