1 Find Deb in Serious Mood Before
a Picture of Jim
News from the honeymooners came
next day—unpleasant news. Deborah
was with me when Chrys came over
with the letter.
At one of the summer resorts Ann
had met Midget, one of her mothers
movie acquaintances. Midget is the
famous miniature of Kellerman. One
day when Jim had gone off in a
yacht, Ann tried some of Midget’s
stunts in the water, and had gone
beyond her depth, and lost her head
and it had taken the life-savers some
long anxious minutes to restore her
to consciousness. Jim wrote that he
was bringing her home.
“Ann is certainly running true to
form,” was Chrys’ comment. “I sup
pose Jim is worn out watching her
antics.” She paused, and remember
ing the lives escapade, she added
with the sarcasm a sister is privileged
to use, “I do hope Jim never has to
save her from anything more dis
graceful than drowning.”
I happened to look at Deborah.
There was in her pretty violet eyes
that confused look which is foreign
to her ordinary comprehending
glahce. She threw up her chin as one
doips when discarding a harassing
mood and exclaimed:
“Let’s decorate the house for them,
girls! Let’s make it a bower of ros
es.”
“Lovely,” Chrys agreed, but I
didn't feel (especially enthusiastic.
J didn’t want Deborah for her own
peace of mind, to ■wander in Ann’s
Eden. I knew Deb had no idea of
what an ordeal she had planned for
herself.
Next morning we three girls set

to work to distribute Jappe’s roses
all over Jim’s house. Quite thought
lessly, it seemed to me, Chrys, who,
as on all strenuous occasions, had as
sumed charge, sent Deborah upstairs
with some bride roses for the vases
in Ann’ boudoir. And I soon followed
with baskets of the marvelous white
i sweet peas which are Jappe’s latest
and proudest triumph.
The thick rugs deadened the sound
of my footsteps; or perhaps Deborah
was so absorbed in her own thoughts
that she did not hear me. At least,
when I reached Ann’s room Deborah
did not turn around. She was stand
ing before a picture of Jim in the un
iform of a private. It had been taken
the week he left for the army. De
borah looked like some sweet saint
who had been placing roses before
a shrine, it seemed to me. I felt that
she ought to be shocked out of her
meditation. Her emotion was pure
waste, the sort of indulgence which
destroys health.
I went up to her, put an arm
around her. She spoke first: .
“I had one of those photos. I—l
sent it back to Jim. Now. I’m sorry.”
she confessed.
“It’s the best he ever had taken,”
I said.
“Jim was wearing that uniform
the day he left for training camp.
That day he tried to tell me some
thing which I wante! to hear,” De
borah said as if sh? were speaking
of -one who had long since died. “Jane
—I stopped him! Do you understand?
I was hysterical. Aotjally, I cried
and I laughed—-but I wouldn’t let
Jim say what I wa; dying to hear
him say.”
“I do understand,” I 'aid. “I
know that young girls avoid—-and
postpone a proposal—sometimes.”

I prevented Jim, of all men, from

again!”
I kissed Deb. I wanted to say,
“Your mother didn’t bring you up

do.
It occurred to me however, that
Jim had fallen a prey to a girl who
had probably done more than her
share of the wooing. I had an inkling

THE CJJR IN
A RIDE in the hve-passengcr “Glenbrook* 1 model
is an experience not soon forgotten. It affords
a demonstration of power and smoothness that is a
revelation to the average motorist.
From five to twentydive miles per hour—in nine
seconds flat. That is the standard performance of
this keen'spinted car. Such acceleration means a
vast reserve of power for the steepest hills and soft,
clinging sand.
Take just one ride in rolling country with the “Glen'
brook”—and watch the speedometer on the grades.
