After a Decade of Years ]HE day was fair and cold, the roads better than Theresa had expected, and by luncheon time she had reached a large town quite distant from her own city, where she knew of an exceptionally good place to obtain a refreshing meal. With this end in view, Theresa was making more than ordinary village speed, when disaster befell her in the shape of a break in the electric connections of the car. While she was tugging away at the breaks a voice called her. It came from the doorway of a store, in front of which the car had chanced to stop. “Theresa Nolan! Well, who would ever expect to see you here after all these years!” The girl at the wheel looked up in amazement. “Olive! this is surely a pleasant surprise.” Since graduation Olive and Theresa had met but very few times. Theresa had gone to the Conservatory of Music, at Boston, and was now a very famous musician: while Olive had entered into partnership with her inseparable friend, Gertrude Larvin, in the business world. Olive took her seat beside Theresa in the car, when electric connections were right again. “Are you here on a special mission. Theresa? questioned Olive as the car sped along the avenues. Yes. I’ve been booked to play at a concert, a week from Sunday at the Metropolitan Opera House, and, who do you suppose is going to sing? None other than Alice Monahan. You remember how beautifully she used to sing at S. X. A.? She’s a wonder now!” “Alice is to be at my house to-night for a little social gathering that Gertrude and I planned just for ‘Auld Lang Syne'.” By this time they had arrived at Olive’s home, where her mother cordially greeted Theresa and invited her to remain to take luncheon with them. The talk during the meal chiefly concerned the plans for the evening. The Xavier Page Twenty-three
