To choose, then, either Caroline's dusky attractiveness or legg's winsome blondneasT "I've got It!" said Jim. "Ill toss up their telephone numbers and mblds by fate. Come seven!" A moment later be snapped the receiver back on Its hook. "It was ever so nice of him, thank you, but Caroline had already planned to go with ltd somebody else!" Now for Peggy. If Peggy's soft voice over the telephone carried with It a bit more uf a thrill than hod Catherine's, Jim was scarcely aware of the fact as her words struck gradual dismay to Ida souL "The game?
