enm^ into the gloom of the
big house, from, the spring:
sunshine; "Mrs. Christmas," she
caUed. '
"Here T am, chUd," Mrs. Christ-
mas answered, hurrying down, the
halt
"T just came from the post of-
fice. I have a letter from Colin.
—he'll be home next, week. And
I've got, cold feet. Do you think
he'll like the. house?"
Mrs. Christmas patted her re-
assuringly., "Of coarse 'he wffl;.
child. Mr. Coliit's always been:
nice-—so long as he got his owtc
way. Yau must have- convinced
him you were pretty smart, for
him. to go off that way and; leave
you. to build and furnish his
house. He generally don't have- so
much confidence in. other people."
Ann sat down. on. a footstool,
and hugged heir knees. "E don't
know why he has confidence in.
me—he doesn't like people very-
much,: usually, does he? In all the
letters Eve had from him. this past
winter,, he's told me all about so
many people, and none of them
have been. nice. I sometimes:
wander what he really- thinks of
me, beneath that cordial and
charming manner."
"Huh! I wouldn't worry, if I
^uas you," Mrs. Christmas said
brusquely. "He don't put himself
out none for people he don't like."
"And he has put himself 1 out
for me, hasn't he'.'" Ann. said
thoughtfully". '•Spending: alt this-
time away from his own; hornet"'
"That's nothin' new; He's been
en.joyin' himself," Mrs. Christmas
said. "I'll be glad to. have him
back, though. You sort of miss
bavin' x mm around the house,
even when tfiyrre ornery."
"Colin, isn't ornery;" Ann said,
in laughing protest. "He's the
most thoroughly decent man I've
ever known, I think."
"Yon ain't known many, have
you? Ohr he's all right, even, if
he is a man."
"I like men* Mrs. Christmas,""
Ann said confidentially. "Better
than women, I think."
"You ain't never lived with one
yet," she retorted.

walked slowly up the
path: to the new house. It still
looked a little bare, though: she
had hurried the gardener as fast
as she could, but he told herr "You
can't hurry grass and shrubs,
miss. They gotta just take their
own sweet time a-growin'. t do
the best E know how,, and God's
gotta do the rest."
She let herself ih the front door,
and took, a final; survey tour of
the house. Everything was fin-
ished,. now;. The house looked
comfortable, and livable. The
furniture was: modern—"comfort-
able-modern," Ann said—uphol-
stered i'n creams and beiges.
There were coffee tables in. light
colored woods, convenient to
chairs. The lamps were white,
with white shades;. Bits of color
came from the bright cushions on
-the couches, from copper cigaret
boxes and pottery ash trays- The
Raeburn hung above the mantel,
lending a note pf.authenticity and
serenity to the room.
Ann felt a little guilty about the
bedroom. It was a nice room, but
"definitely co-ed," as she had read
somewhere. There' were twin
beds,, because they made for bet-
ter looking decoration. If Colin
didn't like it, he could 'move one
of them: out!
Satisfied, with her tour, despite
the bedroom, Ann. went back to
the living room, and sat down in
the corner made in the bay win-
dow by the joining of the two

WITH her eyes on a white sail
sweeping across- the path, of
the sun on the Sound, Ann, re-
membered the evening Alan had,
come home, and the family con-
ference about Colin. Alan had
been quite hardboiled about it;.
"He sounds.: like a good bet tot m«c
Ann. Glom onto him, a£ yottte
a smart, girl." Connie was mom-
gentle. "I think he's nice*. Anit
And; I think he's doing more for
you; than you quite realize-"
Davey sided with: Alan. '"Hiife-

Ann lit a cigaret, and propped
her chin... on her hand;, her elbow-
on the window-sill She thought:
perhaps it was the %iiew she woukt

It was nice to have water and
mountains to look out on; She-

Deep in her reverie, she di«th!t

carpet, but suddenly a hand was.
on hers, and a low, well-remem—
bered voice said, "Hullo, mar
dear."
Ann turned, startled but rayrut.
"CoLin!" she cried. "I thought yuii.

"After I wrote you,. I got it*

Professor Zog\r
Professor Zogi, the magician,
came to our town Saturday anil
put on a performance for the bene-
fit of the Orphanage.
It was quite a show! Among
other things,, the professor holds a
pitcher in his hands, and asks folks
what they'd have to drink-Ma Hos-
kins asks for buttermilk and the
professor promptly pours her a
rich; creamy glassful.
Then Zeb Collins aska for cider,
and out of the same pitcher comes
u mug of cider. Doc Hollister next
calls for beer—and presto, from
rjtcxcifi
the pitcher comes a sparkling glass
of beer, white collar and all!
"Just goes to show," says Doc,
astonished, "that it takes a. magi-
cian to satisfy all tastes,''"
From where I sit, the professor
has a mighty good act ...one that
points a moral too. Tastes differ—
But people can have a friendly,
Happy time enjoying the beverage
: that each prefers—and hc-ing toler-
ant of one another'., preferences.
