She couldn't go to the office, anyway, Just then, because nhe was laid up with a cold and dad had a temporary girl In her place. That cold is likely to hang on to Edith for weeks with the kind of weather we have around here this time of year, Mr. Willard hid eald suddenly one night. Why dont you loan her to us for the trip? Well show her a good time for two weeks and bring her back blooming." Mother, after a quick glance at dad, had been noncommittal about It; didnt see how It would be possible to get her ready on such short n.otlce; her clothes would need a lot of going over. But this, the girl felt, wasnt the real Issue. She went to bed as soon as the Willards left, aware that something would have to be talked out between her parents, in connection with the trip, that she couldnt hear. Dad told her next morning at breakfast that she could go, but there was a look in his face that made her feel like saying she didnt want to. She didnt say It, and he didnt act, after that, as though he wished she had-- . lie- saw her off on the train with the Injunction to have the beet kind of a goo'd time, and he and Mr. Willard Joked with each other until the train left In' a way that ought to have removed the last of her misgivings. Only It didnt, somehow. She. was left feeling sort of queer about It. She had a perfectly lovely time ; got over her cold; played golf; danced; had her first experience riding horseback' and found it awfully exciting; .and reveled In a luxurious bed and a big bathroom'all her own, and In never getting' up for breakfast until she felt like It. Letters from mother were the worst she got one every two or three days ; always affectionate, rejoicing In the wonderful time her daughter was having, but economical of home news. There wasnt anything to write about,-reall- y.She and dad were both well; business, was going on Just about as usual; Mr. Gorman hadnt come in yet, but there were still hopes that he would on some basis, at any rate. There wasnt anything she said that made the girls throat ache with sympathy. It was what she didn't say. All told, when the two weeks were over, she found herself in a passionate hurry to get home. Their train got in In the middle of the morning, and It surprised her to find dad waiting for her on the platform. He impressed her as looking rather pale, but this was probably because all the people she had been seeing lately were so brown. He told her. epiphytically, when she asked how he was that he'd never felt better In his life. He seemed to be watching the Willards, who had got a little ahead, to make sure fh'ey didnt get away. That was funny, because, of course, theyd wait. It struck her as they drove away, leaving the two men behind, that it had really been to see Mr. Willard, rather than herself, that dad had met the train. There was no doubt,' though, for whom mother was waiting. She must have been watching for the car, for she opened the front door the minute they stopped, and came flying out to meet them.. There was something thrilling In the way she swooped down the steps. Edith was always forgetting how pretty she was. They hugged each other on the sidewalk, stood with their arms around each other, thanking Mrs. Willard while the chauffeur was carrying In the bags, and when they got safely Inside they embraced again. The girl felt her eyes getting wet but she didnt care. Then went together, rather aimlessly, Into the sitting room, and now there fell a momentary stiffness. There was nothing In particular to do, yet it seemed silly to sit down In a couple of chairs, like callers. Mother must have felt It, too, for her voice, when she spoke, the next minute, had sort of a company sound. You're looking beautifully well, No need asking If you had she said. a good time. Im feeling great, Edith said. And I had a gorgeous time. Mother, do we have to wait, and lead up to things? I want to know how Its going at the office; what's been happening to dad.
