Deborah." Yes, Grandmother?" Do you not like these friends of Bryns, my darling?" Deborah looked up In surprise. Why. yes. Yes, of course. I think they are lovely. Sally is sweet She is like a talking dolt And she is very kind. And Madeline?" "Nobody could help liking Madeline, Deborah replied. Shes charming, isnt she, Grandmother? I love to hear her talk. Its so slow and lazy. Its because she and Simon are from Texas, Sally says. And Madeline is beautiful. Dont you think shes beautiful, Grandmother? Not as beautiful as you are, my child, Grandmother answered fondly. But she Is very attractive. She was silent again. Then, If you like them, Deborah, and find them pleasant company, what is it that has been troubling you ever since they arrived? Troubling me? Deborah answered, I am not troubled. startled. But Oh, Deborah," Grandmother said reproachfully. Deborah raised her eyes, and there was a deep, happy smile in them. I am happy, Grandmother darling," she said. And you love Bryn? He loves you, of that I am sure. But of your love for him . . . sometimes I am not so sure. You admire him? You think him strong and thoughtful and quick, and kind?" Yes, Grandmother. You respect him? You are proud of whatever he does? "Yes, Grandmother. And, she put her hand out gently and lifted Deborahs chin. Why, you are blushing, child! Surely that ought to be sufficient answer to my next question, but I must have your words, Deborah. Forgive me. But you know your complete happiness means everything to me. Deborah, tell me; when you see him, and he smiles that twinkling smile of his, dont you want to go to him, and caress his cheek, as you are caressing mine, and put your hand on his hair, and touch his shoulder? Isnt that what youd like to do, Deborah? Deborah caught her breath. Her ner lips quivered eyes darkened, faintly. And then, Yes, Grandmother, she said. Of course, Grandmother said happily. "Well, then you love him. You couldnt help loving him. Go, my child. Kiss me and leave me. I shall rest, tonight I am happy. Out in the hall, safely away from the door, Deborah stood and put both her hands over her face. Her brain was whirling. There was a dreadful lump in her throat, and something ached in her breast Alone in the darkness, she stood, trying to calm herself, trying to be cool and uncaring again. A voice spoke to her. It was Bryn. He was in the hall beside her. He was whispering, so as not to disturb Grandmother. Deborah," he was saying anxiously, Deborah, what has happened? Deborah did not answer. Instead, she dropped her hands and stared up through the shadows at his face. He drew a quick breath, then put his arms out and held her close to him. His coat was rough under her cheek. Deborah, sweetheart, he said brokenly, whats happened to you? Why are you trembling? For only a second she lay there, and then she lifted her head and pulled herself away. Dont touch me," she said in a furious whisper. "Oh, dont you dare to touch me! and she flew down the stairs and out to the others, sitting talking in the welcome darkness of the veranda. ... t ' i . i I if r ' it 8 i good-nigh- I ' J t- - J r i t, Deborah sat on the couch before the long balcony window in her own sitting room. The afternoon was very hot. Bryn and Tubby and Simon had gone following the brook, looking for a pool to swim in. There was a knock at her door. Deborah ran quick fingers over her eyes. Her heart bumped. She scrambled from the couch, preparing to dash into her bedroom before calling out to Bryn that he might go through to his own room. It was not Bryn. Sallys voice floated plaintively through the keyhole. "Deborah May we come in? Oh, Deborah said limply, and then. 1 i Yes, of course, Sally. Please do. And she tightened her dressing gown around her. Sally, in floating black chiffon pyjamas and tiny black mules, came through the door, followed by Madeline in dull green. Were you sleeping? Sally inquired. Curl yourself up again, Deborah. Everything about you is like the Sleeping Beauty herself, Sally said. Deborah looked at Sally. I think youre sweet, too, Sally, she said shyly. Sally flew up from her chair, flung her arms around Deborah and kissed her. That was darling, she said. Wasnt that darling, Madeline? Madeline sighed. Yes," she agreed. "But you dont need it Youve got Simon. You dont have to suffer In silence and alone, as I do." Sally began to laugh. You dont exactly go around languishing, you know, idiot," she said. Madeline sighed. "Not outwardly, perhaps. But inwardly, I suffer. Piffle, Sally answered. She turned to Deborah. Does she look a3 if she were suffering? Not exactly, Deborah said faintly. She isnt, either. She knows perfectly well its all a question of time. i Shes a Horrible Nasty Scheming Vampire. And, I must say, Madeline, It looks much more hopeful lately than it ever did. Doesn't it? Deborah couldnt stand it any longer. Does she mean shes in love . . . with somebody? she asked faintly. Tubby, Sally answered. Can you imagine it? Tubby? Tubby. Isnt It ridiculous? I dont see anything ridiculous about it, Madeline objected. He may not be what one would call a romantic figure, I admit.

S. than per cent of the worlds motor vehicles are owned More one-four- happy afternoon, the happiest afternoon, Deborah decided, that she had ever known. The four of them, Sally and Simon and she and Bryn, had gone for a walk in the pine woods up on the hill At first she had walked beside Sally, but Sally had obviously wanted to be with Simon, and Deborah had dropped back and walked with Bryn. He could see how it was, that she wasnt thrusting herself upon him, that it was a matter of necessity, and he didnt seem to mind. As a matter of fact, Deborah said to herself, sitting on the veranda in the twilight, he. had seemed to enjoy himself. He had climbed a steep overhanging little cliff once when she had seen a brilliant tiger-lilup in the shadow, and had brought it down to her triumphantly. When he gave It to her their hands had touched, and he had stood for a moment looking down at her with a queer expression that made her heart turn over when she remembered. She had wanted to smile at him - then, Deborah recalled, but something had made her draw away hastily, and as she moved, his expression had changed again, and he had begun to talk quickly. Deborah could not take her eyes from Bryns. It seemed to her that in hi3 there was a question that she had to answer. She gazed at him, so strong and fine, sitting there against the pillar. A kind of tense look that was constantly in his faq duripg these last few days began to relax. Then he put his hand out slowly and covered hers, lying beside her on the chair. No, no," she said in a whisper, but she couldnt draw her hand away, and she didnt know what it was she meant. He lifted her hand gently until it was against his lips; his eyes were still on hers, gentle, compelling. But she was afraid; she drew her hand away swiftly and sprang from her chair. Isnt that . . . isnt that the car? she said breathlessly. It was. Madeline and Tubby had been to town, and when Madeline came up to the veranda Bryn inquired about mail. There was a letter for Tubby from Pilar, Madeline replied. Sally stopped dead. She looked up at Madeline in horror. From Pilar? she repeated. Who Is Pilar? Deborah inquired.' Sally and Madeline looked at each other. Then they both coughed together. Just a girl, Madeline said nonchalantly, but Sally at the same moment said, "Shes a horrible nasty scheming vampire, thats what she is, and I hate her.

Indeed, one section of the public is so perverse in its views concerning food that it is almost necessary to remind it that quantity still counts. We cannot live on vitamins alone. A more intelligent section of the public seems to assume that so much scientific talk about food may lead to Individuals being dragooned regard-wha- t they shall or shall not eat.
