The scenic glory ot tile mountain* lured her, so did the sanded beaches. But the prices—exorbitant. One must needs be a millionaire to put up at either place. Auywey she would need a stunning new wardrobe --she would go shopping. She bowed coldly to the little woman lodger she had passed on the stairs. Miss Miller, with 11 shy, timid smile, wished pathetically she was as young and pretty HA the other, as she turned to watch Avis tripping lightly over the clingy stairs. Miss Sillier couldn't have been a day over thirty-five, although she looked fifty. Avis herself was just turning thirty. Dusk had settled when Avis re- turned, her arms full of bundles. Un- like most women, her shopping CI- prdition had held for her no thrills. There came a timid knoek al the door, the handle turned, and Miss Mil- ler entered shyly. 'Ole, Miss Burroughs. I want you to read this letter from my sister Dente. Here's a letter for you, too, came my mall by mistake. Deities ware' to he a Julie bride,\ she gasped. \I'm all a -thrill.

Miss Miller found herself being eseorted across the hall, grey suede pumps clutched In one thin hand, a gray frock flung across it shaky arm. Miss Miller never could tell you what really took place in the next hour or so. What she never knew, however, was that as talon as she was out of eight. Mae fleas' up the stair, to her romn and threw herself into a chair with a hysterical moan. She felt fright- fully old and alone. \A home, a sister—and a June wed- ding—all for Mks Miller—fancy!\ mid Avie, to nohody in particular, and then her eyea fell on the letter Miss Miller hail brought along with Dellie's. Deftly she broke the neat. \Aries my love,\ the letter ran, \we are leaving for ltiverway Court on Friday, Uncle Mart and me. Would you care to accompany us, as you did four years ago? We'll come to the city after you Wedneada3. And. oh Avis, I almost forgot to tell you that that good-looking Dee Kennedy, whom you played those wonderful tennix matches with that summer—remem her?—has returned from service and Is going with Its.

Miss Miller's pinched face stared at her from the shadowy recess. of the hall. Thrills and frills --some combination! And Avis grinned Ilk* a girl in her teens.
