NE minute," saiil Curlnne. “it’s
today. And (lit* next—It’s to
morrow 1”
‘And one minute,” replied Bruce,
"it’s this year—and the next it's to
morrow-year."
She smiled at him, a little dark thing
in filmy clouds of white. They circled
the ha 11 room once more.
“And one minute,” said Bruce with
a deep rumble he tried to keep from
sounding tender, lest someone overhear,
“you're Miss Coniine Mumford, and the
next,” lie whirled her oft into a quieter
corner, “you're Mrs. Bruce MacQueen !“
"Indeed . , . as quickly as that?" She
smiled again but her cool voice trem
bled.
"Do I gainer,” tier lashes fell on tier
Cheeks, "that tin's is in the way of a
proposal of marriage?”
“Bright girl! On New Year's eve 1
demand a new wife ... a new life . . .
and happiness ever afterward."
. . and We’re Old. Minute After
Minute . . . Promise!”
“flow modest,” she murmured, “you
are.”
"Speak . . ! promise me before the
bells ring out! Minutes fly . . . into
hours, days . . . months and years!
Promise me!” Now lie held her closer.
Ids breath fanned her hair. “They pile
up and pile up . . . and then life goes
on . . . and we’re old. Minute after
minute . . . promise!”
The violins seemed to beseech her;
they cried out at her in lovely golden
voices. One minute is today . . . the
next Is tomorrow! They danced and
danced. One minute Miss Corinne Mum-
ford , . . tlie next Mrs. Bruce Mac
Queen.
In her clouds of filmy white, whirling
and whirling in her partner's arms, she
tried to think. Was it tlie ball . . . t lie
glitter and life and beauty of a big
party? The joy of dancing as if her
feet were shod with wings? The de
light of hearing Bruce’s voice begging
her . . . talking to her, holding her
more and more closely in Ids strong,
gentle grasp? Did site love him? Did
lie love her? He bad not said so. lie
bad never said so. Yet she hnd seen
him day after day. She had taken for
granted their friendship, as one loves
the sun, yet forgets the sun is shining.
Around and around—whirl, whirl!
Perhaps one did not have to decide.
Perhaps, as one minute slid silently
into the next . . . one knew!
“I’m going away tomorrow,” said
Bruce, “to South America. A big
chance."
"Oh," she gasped, “you did not tell
me!”
“I only heard today.”
Me was going away . . . when today
was tomorrow, lie would lie gone. A
little pain climbed from her heart to
her throat. She lifted her chin and
looked up.
His glance, sober and dark and shin
ing, plunged into tier eyes. She quiv
ered.
He began to sing with tlie music, but
words of his own. “The boat sails on
. . . and the wind blows south . . . I'll
never come home again.”
The music stopped. A hush fell on
the huge ball room. The first slow peal
of a bell sounded high in the air.
“Tell me . . . speak with the bells
... on New Year’s eve, Corinne!”
She turned her face away. She knew.
So, joining her small human voice
with the clangor overhead, she said—
“One minute Corinne Mumford . . . the
next, Mrs. Bruce MacQueen.”
And midnight passed into the New
Year.

M RS. McCKERY swept the snow
from the steps of her boarding
house with vicious strokes, all
the time keeping up a stream of grum
bled protests about everything in gen
eral.
“A fine start for a New Year. Work,
work, work, same as last! Hang that j
confetti, how it sticks! What is there j
to life, anyway? Work all day, and I
half tHe night, and for wiiat? What, j
difference does it make that I’m alive? i
Nobody cares. What do I do that’s |
worth while? Nothing! Might just as I
well be dead.”
She had come to the end of the walk,
and now she knocked f, ic off her
broom and turned back. “And I j
thought once that some day I'd be a
great lady,” she snorted. "Humph!”
The door hanged behind her with a |
dull thud.
All morning Mrs. McCrery spent in a
maze of abuse and self-pity, but when
lunch time came she bethought herself
of Dora Bike, third floor hack. “Poor
chick,” she thought, “no work yet. I’d
better fix Her up a bite to eat." She
set a tray and covered it with a clean
napkin.
“Shame on me,” she went on, as she
climbed the stairs, “grumbling at my
work, when that poor girl would give
her arm for a job. Guess she isn’t ev
erything she would like to he either, \
but she doesn't go around bawling like
a calf. She’s an inspiration, that’s what
‘Me?” “Yes.
I V/as Feeling Sorry for
Myself.”
she is, and this coming year I’m going
to try to he more her way. If I had to
put up with what she has to, maybe
I’d have some right to mope and com
plain.’’
She paused, panting, and then
knocked. “Here’s just a Hite—” she
began, as the door opened. “Why,
what’s the matter?”
Dora Pike's eyes were red with weep
ing, and now they brimmed again. “Oh,
it’s you, Mrs. McCrery! Come in,” she
said. “I’m in a Hit of a funk,” she
apologized, “what with New Year’s, and
all. In fact, I would have ended it, if
it. hadn’t been for thinking of you.”
“Me?”
“Yes. I was feeling sorry for my
self not having any work, and so on,
and then I thought of you and how
brave you are about all the things you
do have to do, that I was right
ashamed of myself. But ! don’t know
what 1 might not have done, if there
hadn't been you to think about.”
“Well, dearie,” said Mrs. McCrery, as
she gathered the girl in tier arms,
“maybe that’s what we're here for,
darlin’."
