Carolyn, staring at Scotty's rad- iant face, No one could doubt his happiness, ‘or Jennie Sue's When they looked at each other their eyes brought a tightness to Carolyn's throat. Again she envied them. She envied anybody as much in love as that.

Irene shyly kissed Carolyn on one cheek. "The baby's alseep." she said, "but he'll want his bottle in a little while. lie-he's such a love, Carolyn! Fisher is doing a/wfully well in the store. I-Ie looks splendid. You'd hardly know h‘m."

"Well, well, if here isn't Carolyn,” muttered Hattie Bell bustling in with another basket of dogwood. , Beau! mother was a little plum- per, a trifle grayer, but as jolly as ever, Moving stiifly, she apologized for her shoes.

"Old Mother Comforts!" she ex- claimed gayly, "I've been having trouble all winter with varicose veins. Can't stand being on my feet any more seems like. It's lucky I'm to keep house for Lulu Fletcher starting right away. With both the girls married, I ain't tied down here any more and Beau thinks it best. I'll have everything easy at Lulu's and I ain't so young as I was." \

"I suppose not," stamnlcred Caro- lyn,

“I sort of hate to leave, though. Seems like everybody's deserting Beau. Ills family, I mean." she added hastily as Carolyn flushed. "But he swears him and Cvramp will get along fine, batching."

“Course we will!" announced Gralrnp, appearing suddenly in tile back door. He gave Carolyn a belligerent glance. "Women is always assuming they is necessary to men. "l‘aint't so. l-Ii, Carolyn."

“You look kind of long drawn- out." he observed.

Carolyn flushed. well."

"Women is funny critters." he re~ marked, “They can't live with you and dengcd if they'll let you live without em. That's why you come to the wedding, ain't it, to patch il. up with Beau?"

"Grzm-p, you do say the alwfuliest things!" exclaimed Hattie Bell with u _flustere:i' glance at Carolyn. whose fncc was blazing.

“She wus supposed to stop for thc nigilt. she's been here a week." said Scott)’. "and every time I look around you're over there helping her paint her trailer or watering her rubber plant."

Gramp cleared his throat scorn- fully. "Can't a gentleman assist a lone wctnan with her chores with- out folks turning it into a joke?" he demanded. "Anyway she makes the beatenest hot cakes I ever et."

He turned his beanrring smile upon Irene. "I signed for a shipment of shoes this morning, honey. A thousand dollars’ worth, lesrfive per cent for cssll."
