:Er 'L ' ' - ' vig. . I f sf? J. there sounded a sharp metallic tmkle at Marjorie s very heels Instrnctlvely she jerked her head about What she saw sent her heart downward with sickness She had dropped a hairpin yes but there where her slipper stopped ,Q W 4 K BX 'ng i i ' I their own. They sauntered .slowly in the directino of the lake. Suddenly and her stocking began to fulfill its office was a small, round aperture a hole in her stocking. Did you lose something? Bob said, solicitously. No, no, she said hastily, only a hairpin. In her heart there rose an agonized cry, Oh, he'll see it, he'll see it! They walked the remaining distance to the lake almost in silence. Inwardly, Marjorie seethed with misery. What if he should see? Why did this have to hapfpen today of all days? Why hadn't she darned that hole when she discovered it several weeks before? Why, and again, why? On the lake, they rowed for a wretchedly strained half hour, for lVlarjorie's mood soon communicated itself to Bob. Then, determinedly, Bob paddled the canoe to a tiny, tree-embowered cave. Now, Marjorie, what's wrong? Marjorie was plainly startled. Wrong? Why, nothing, Bob. What makes you ask? What makes me ask? Don't you know? Why, no. You mean to say you have been moody all this time for no reason at all? A confused red spread over lVlarjorie's face. Oh--I-have I been moody? I didn't know-, she finished lamely. Marjorie, his voice had softened, why, have I hurt you? lVlarjorie's heart jumped .with a strange emotion. No, oh, no, Bob, you have always been kind. Then what is the matter? Should she tell him? She had the perilous sensation of walking a tight rope. With an inward defiant challenge to herself, she made her decision. You know when I dropped that hairpin? Bob nodded. When I looked around, I saw-well, I saw this, and she turned her foot so that he might see the awful cause of her black despair. Bob was plainly bewildered. And, she hurried on, her cheeks a fiery red, mother always said -she used to say-well, she said, 'girls with holes in their stockings,' she swallowed painfully, that is, untidy girls - But Bob was laughing with hilarious abandonment. Oh, he choked, I know the rest-mother used to say the same thing to my sisters. Then he sobered suddenly. You funny little girl, he said, but his tone said, You dear, sweet little girl. I am sorry you have worried yourself like this, but I am glad it happened, for you have told me something I wanted to know. Told you something? That you cared. NELLIE KEARNEY, '2 7. Forty-three
