THE SEA BREEZE that had made her secretary to the junior partner of a good- sized business concern after only a little over half a year in New York. Her father and mother had died when she was only a child, and sheid been brought up by Aunt Sarah, a kind-hearted but rather prim maiden aunt. Al- though she loved her aunt, Joan had been glad to leave the small New England town of her childhood and come to New York, the city of all her girlish dreams. But though she had done very well in business and had a comfortable room, she was very lonesome. She had no real friends, for it had been much harder than she had sup- posed to become acquainted with any nice people, the kind she'd really want to be friendly with. And she hadn't had one thrilling or romantic adventure. And as soon as you finish those letters, Miss Elliot-1- But Miss Elliot wasn't paying the slightest attention, and for the first time in three weeks she had been working for him, Ken- neth Morrison looked at his secretary with real interest. Gee, she was pretty! Funny he hadn't ever noticed it before. But she had never looked just like this before. She'd always been cold and business-like. But now her cheeks were softly flushed and her eyes wide and dreamy. Why, she was lovely, beautiful! Wonder what she's thinking about. Some fellow probably. She wouldn't look like that if she were thinking about a girl. But just then Joan woke up with a start. What must Mr. Morrison be thinking of her! 1She'd been day-dreaming she didn't know how long. But he was looking at her with a friendly smile. What a nice smile he had! She hoped when her wish came true, it would be some one like him. But what foolishness she was thinking! It must be last night's crazy wish, It was just twilight, and there was only one star and a tiny slip of a moon, as Joan and Ken- neth slowly walked along the beach. Suppose I hadn't found out how wonderful you are. I never really saw you until that spring day. But when I did, it was certainly love at iirst sight. And you REALLY do love me too, don't you? and as soon as Kenneth was made sure that Joan REALLY did love him too, he continued, Wasn't it funny, though, that I shouldn't have noticed how beautiful you were until that day, just two months ago? Why do you suppose it was that day, instead of the day before, or any other day? But Joan only smiled a wise little smile, and secretly blew a kiss to the star of her dream come true.

THE SEA BREEZE Too late he tried to keep his balance, when he stubbed his toe over a chi1d's pail of sand, fell flat, and dropped his prec- ious dog in the water. Hurriedly picking himself up, he ran back to the stand again. Dick got his dog and, being a friend of the boy at the staiifl, was given a tin box with a handle to carry it in. He ran to the water, hel-d the handle of the box in his teeth, and started swimming, which gave him a start on Jack. Finally both boys were in the water, heading to- wards the raft. Jean was watching them closely when she heard an out- board coming towards her. Turning, she saw Bob Ralston smiling and heading for the raft. In a few moments she was riding off with Bob, who asked her to go to Round Island to- morrow with him. He said he had been planning to ask her at the dance, but seeing her on the raft, thought it wouldn't do any harm to ask her then. She ac- cepted quickly and happened to think of the two swimmers. She asked Bob if he enjoyed funny sights. He of course an- swered yes , so she told him to direct his glance, at the raft. There sat Jack and Dick, glow- ering at Bob, but each apparent- ly enjoying a hot gdog. E. Stevens '31 Star Light, Star Bright Star light. star bright First star I've seen to-night, I wish I may, I wish I might, Get the wish I wish to-night! I wish-I wish that I have an adventure and that some one nice will fall in love With me, whispered Joan. There, she'd said it. What if it Wasn't a proper wish? She knew Aunt Sarah wouldn't have approved of it, but it was what she really wished, wasn't it? And she wished it on the very first star. It was such a beautiful spring night, and she was so lonely. She'd walk around in the park a little while, and then go back to her room. A Though Joan had been in New York over six months, she hadn't yet lost her belief in fairies and wjishing on stars. And the fairies had certainly been generous to her. They had given her soft golden brown hair, wide brown eyes with golden glints of laughter in them, a tiny nose that was rather inclined to turn up, and a lovely mouth, justsmade for laughter and kisses. And not being saitisiied, they had added the intelligence and good sense fPage 225

'31. - JACK I wonder why Jack doesnit come home ? asked Mrs. White, as she looked out of the window. It was raining hard and al- ready quite late. iShe glan :ed up and down the street as far as she could see and then went to another window. What was that? Could it be Jack at the door? Opening the door, she found that it had only been the wind. As Jack had never been out so late before, Mrs. White 'imagined all kinds of terrible things which might have hap- pened to him. Suddenly the telephone rang. She was so excited she didn't know what to do. She might be told that Jack had been in- jured or killed. Finally she answered the phone. Hello! Hello! she said. Hello, this is Mrs. Alden. Jack is over here, and I will bring him right over. I thought you might be worried. Yes, I was quite worried. Thank you for calling. Good- bye? Now that she knew he was safe, she sat down and waited. She expected them in about half an hour. Soon Mrs. Alden and Jack came. Mrs. Alden made a short fPage 243 7
