She fitted the bracelet carefully back in its case; replaced the wooden box, the cardboard box, and yawned. Dont you like him, Mother? Who? Ferd Manners? Is that his name? It doesnt sound very Spanish. Its Ferdinand de Something Manners. I believe his mother was an Argentine heiress. Hes lived there a great deal." You might know he was Spanish," Victoria said brightly, or he wouldnt think he could send a married lady jewelry! True for you. Miss Herrendeen! her mother agreed, going into the bedroom with the box. Until she could return it, she would hide it, Victoria knew. Dad must know nothing of this. The afternoon dragged. After a while Victoria put on her old white serge skirt and a white thin sweater, pulled a small white hat over her bobbed head, and went to the library to get a new book. When she came back at five, her mother was entertaining a caller. It was a square, dark - skinned man, sprawled in a low chair, a glass of champagne between his big brown hands. This is my little girl, Mr. Manners. Come, It was to be Ferdinand!" the man said, his voice and accent instantly betraying the Latin. It was not, Magda countered simply, smiling. She was in something soft and cool and pale blue; she had had time to dress, time to draw shades and set the flowers about advantageously. "Are you going up to Helens? he was presently asking. He paid no attention to Victoria. Magda shook her head. You're not? the man demanded surprised. My little spare tire," Victorias mother said, her arm about her. Eut good gracious, take her! Connies girl must be about her age. No," Magda said, gently shakNot just now, anying her had. way. But it must be lovely up there! Ive never been there, you know. Phyllis was telling me of some place the Braverman place right on the water But thats just the place I am going to buy! Ferdinand Manners exclaimed. When Magda presently went out of the room to bring him her Spanish shawl, he asked Victoria if she knew that she had a very beautiful mother. He bent his russet head over the shawL Yes, that is a fine shawl, he said. "What does the man offer you? Victoria was shocked. Was Mother going to sell the famous old shawl? She saw that her mother hadnt wanted her to know. He offers me three hundred Marsh. Its to be edged with fur for a wrap. Theyll take all this off.

The familiar "wish bone is simply the two collar bones grown together to give greater strength to the attachment of wings. The breastbone is not flat as in most animals, but has an enormous ridge down the middle for the attachment of flight muscles. These muscles are relatively hundreds of times more powerful than similar muscles in man. In some birds they are so highly developed that they represent half the bird's entire weight. ful of heavy mayonnaise on top each salad and garnish with a maraschino cherry.

I brought you a little present, Magda, he said, his face suddenly bright with a smile. Its not much, my dear. It was an Emporium box; a white linen jacket, unlined, with a smart dark blue stripe about the collar and cuffs. The tag was 6till on it; he explained that she was free to exchange it if she liked. Victoria sent a quick apprehensive glance toward her mother. The bracelet that had cost thousands had been sent back, but the remains of the great crate of flowers, and fresh flowers, were everywhere, and deep in her mothers trunk was the beautiful shawl with its new border of pure white ermine. Mrs. Herrendeen stood fingering the linen jacket. The staring $3.95 on a tag was in her hand, as the fringe of the shawl had been a few days ago. Its very sweet, Keith, she said, holding her tone low. But it was no use; in a minute she was crying convulsedly, bitterly, senselessly, standing at the window, with her shaking shoulders to the room. Don't mind me, she said thickly. Im crazy.
