The moment wa favorable, loo. The briakCit routine of the Blunts wai made to order for her purpose. Wil 'ircd took a terribly early train to town, and his simple breakfast, con fisting of oatmeal out of the tireless looker and a cup of patent eotfee. he itMially Rot for himself. Charlotte vat usually up at this time, but not down; busy with the baby upstairs. The two girls, since that first morn ing, had breakfasted together a little Ijter. Anne popped out of bed; arrayed herself swiftly and ruthlessly in a pair, of not quite transparent white China silk paiamas which she'd bought witu the notion that they might come in handy some time, 'and her black taffeta I'uthnan; slid her, bare feet into a pair of black satin mules, and stole downstairs. This ought to brighten Wilfred's eye a bit. Tha precise line she'd take with him she' J trust to the spur of the moment. She rounded the corner o' the din ing room, alight with the glad con viction that she'd got the jump at last. But there, at the head of the table, with the baby beside her in a hiph chair, sat Charlotte. "Anne, you duck!" she cried. "How perfectly sweet! Sit down and I'll go and start your eggs. Bill will be down in a minute." -"Hasn't he gone yet?" Anne pulped, blighted by the belief tint she was turning rather pink. "No, he's being-lazy this morning. Heavens, child, you won't mind him!" Then to chinch the thing she called upstairs. "Bill! Come along down just as you are. I want you to see Anne. She's looking perfect ly frabjous." It almost sounded as if they d been having an argument about it. and this imnression was heightened a bit by Wilfred's calling back, "Tell her to sit tight, I'll be along in a minute." ' . . Charlotte became explanatory. "Fou see, Bill's quit his job to cram for three weeks for his architect's st?e license exams. They're fear fully hard and he's going to have to vork live a slave. But he'll have to plav part of the time, and I hope you'll nlay with him as much as you can. I know you'll have a lot of other engagements, but do, when you ran. take him on and gay him up a 1;Mc or he'll get to worrying about it." . ; . ' Welt, there that was. ..In spite, though, of these and other minor frustrations" not necessary to chronicle, -Anne enjoved het vacation visit enormously. Their entertain ment didn't run to much one mnsi cat show and numerous movies. But trtcre was something rather electrical ?1. the air of that household the very last quality her sophistication would have expected in a suburban, almost bridal, menage like that which keot v'ou from getting dull, however little there was to do. And it was some thing that hadn't been there the night fhc came. Nothing had hapoened. so far as she knew, to make the differ ence. But something must have hap pened and it must, therefore, be fomethinsr which" she knew . nothing about. She spent, her odd moments of' unemployment picking away at the lock of this mystery. "but she ncfr startedVa single, tumbler. She, thought a good deal more f.bout this than .she did about the nonarrival of her money, which was a -matter practically more serious and hardly more explicable. She had telegraphed to the school, asking that the letter be forwarded; had tele graphed again to know why she hadn't received a reply; and had finallv, on the day before she was due to start back, got a letter from them .t - :i t i aymp llicic Wd3 1 lu mem LUl lit, a . the school. ..'..' Her belief fn the incapacity of all ths school authorities was so deep sealed that this catagorica denial on their part hardly disturbed her assumption that the letter was really tliere. This confidence wouldn't take htr back to school, of course, but Charlotte went to the bank that same day and drew $60 for her. So that was all right.' . .The trunk was packed and called for by the transfer people that day; the part time girl paid an extra SO cents so that the. three of them could go to a movie that night and a handy dancing place afterward if they liked (it turned out to be rather the jol licst evening of the week); Wilfred went off early next morning, after a light-hearted, but satisfactorily affec tionate farewell, to his day's craming; the breakast dishes were washed up, the 'traveling bag packed and the baby put to bed, and it was still three-quarters of an hour or so until the foreordained arrival of the taxi. "Just in time for one last little talk before you go," Charlotte observed. "Plenty of time for me and probably a little left over for von. Sit down." "We're going to begin." she pro ceeded when Anne, rather precipi tatelv. had obeved this order, "where we left off a week ago today when I I to run and get the baby or you'd hvt made me cry. I wheeled him around for three hour that alt rnioon Mlnle you writ at matinee, ami I nulyril all of n but Wilfred for myiell t.ilicr and you and me, t didn't analyie Wilfred because what he's like doesn't mailer. AH lint matters lo me about him it that there' nolmdy rUe in the world lhat 1 wouldn't lie to or steal from or murder, I guru if he really need ed to have me do it. I'm going to tell yon something you don't know. He never a.ked me to marry him. I told him he was going to and when i: was going to he. 'I hat' to show you there are a few things your set didn't invent for theinselvr. "I derided you were both right and wrong about the rent of na you and father and me: a little bit right and tnoktly wrnnir. but that the little bit was more important lo me that after noon than the whole lot. I'm not going to argue with you about that. 1 here in t time, I in going to tell you what happened. She ha misread the girl'i sudden stir of attention. l or once in her life, Anne didn't want to argue. She was holding her breath. Charlotte, panted a moment. thoiiDli. In nut her stnrv in order. "You don't like sob Muff." she ex plained, fn 1 1 try to tell it as straight as I can. When I got home with the baby. I found the mail: letter from dad and two others. Dad's letter was to me, not to you, to I opened it first. It had a check in it made out to me for JJ60. I hadn t asked him for money. All I'd said that was like asking was that an other year when we weren't so ter ribly poor maybe W ilfred and Jame Me and I would be starting out with him and mother for some warm jolly place. At is was, I said, all we were praying for was that the coal would hold out. I wanted him to see that I meant it, but I left it so he could think I was just being funny, if he liked. Cowardly, of course, that was, and contemptible. You can say that. vou like. . "I'm not saying anything," Anne remarked. "I'm waiting." All right. I'll go on. When I saw the check was made out to me, I left his letter and opened the other two. Une was from the bank, say ing our account was overdrawn $1.47. The other was from the piano com pany, and it said that unless we paid both installments by next Tues day, the one that would be due then and the one we were behind on, they would take the piano away. I hen I read father s letter. He didn't say a word about me or my having written him. He told me how you'd asked for $300 extra. He said he wasn't sure what it was for, but supposed you were trying to get by with something, as usual. He meani to let you have it, anyhow, but he was making the check out to me and he wanted me to keep it until the last thing before you went back to school, so that you wouldn't blow it in out here. He said if I could find out what you really, wanted it for, he wished I would, but he didn't say anything about my not giving it to you, no matter what it was for. "I'm not going to discuss father with you. When you're as old as I am, you'll understand him a whole lot better than you do now. I know you got the check and I didn't, but I'll give you this tip just the same: you'll get on with him better for the next five or ten years if you act more like a daughter to him and less like a baby vampire. His let ter made that plain enough to me. "The minute I'd finished it, though, I knew w"hat I was going to do with it. I gave it to Jamesie to play with. I thought he'd tear it up, but he chewed it instead, However, it came to the same thing, and the ink didn't hurt him. Then I wrote a check to the piano company for $30. It came out of your money, of course, because I was overdrawn untikl banked dads check the next morning. I decided that, from my point of view, that piano was more important than your dancing lessons. I don't have much time to practice these days, but I like to know it's there when I want it, to keep me from feeling like, a household slave or ' whatever you said I was." Anne found herself for some rea son, horribly embarrased. She got up and walked . to the little bay win dow, ostensibly to see whether the taxi had come. "You had your nerve with you." she said, in this position, "but it's i all right with me. Let's not jaw about it any more. I can get on without it all 'right. I'd have given it to you like a shot, if you'd told me you wanted it" "O, I haven't got anywhere near to the end yet," said Charlotte, who hadn't risen. "Sit down again; he won't come for another '20 minutes. The rest is what really matters to you." " . This time it vwas Anne who felt her blood run cold: "The rest," she echoed mechanically. "When Wilfred came home that night," Charlotte went on, thought fully, comfortably almost you'd have ; said, eyeing the knee she clasped, "he told me he'd lost his job. His firm was going to. dissolve partner- j ship. Of course he could get an other a man as good as he is can always get one. if there's any work in the city at all only it might be hack" work and his pay not so good at first. But then he went on to tell me of an offer he'd had. One of the men in the firm he's a fine busi ness getter. Wilfred says, and a good builder, but not very artistic asked Wilfred to go into partnership with him as soon as he rWilfred, I mean could pass his exam for a state license. You have to have a license, you see, before you can he in a firm. The examination was only three weeks 'off, and if Wilfred had to take another job, he wouldn't be able to pass it. And, since he had to have a job to keep us going, he was going to have to turn down the offer. "So. of course, Charlotte continued, tranquilly, after a little pause to give this a chance to sink in, "I told him it was all right. I said I'd just got a check from father for three hun dred and sixty dollars; sixty of it was for yeru, but the rest of it would keep us going all fight until the part nership could begin. So Wilfred said that was fine, and began study ing for the exam the next morning." "And yon mean to sit there." Anne demanded, "and calmly tell me you've stolen all of my three hundred dol lars?" "Yes." aid Charlotte. "I'd honed vou'd understand that., I mean tint it was your aiouey, and that I'd stolen it from toil, pot fioui father, I'll pay it back lo you, of comte, when I ran, but I don't know bow toon that will be." Aiiuingly, Anne found lirrtrlf fighting back tear. "Itui 1 need H now " he cried, "Tint is my la-1 chance. I'm gelling old. I If 11 you, O. don't grin at me in tlut beastly way! It's true.

"I suppote I'd have taken the money any way, though I'd have felt awfully about it, even if I hadn't bad that talk with you. But after you'd taught me to aualyre myself and see w hat a mean guy I really was it was as easy as tlrepmg. Why, I even took thirty of it for niytelf, for my own piano, l took mat nrt.oi an, "Of course there s this, she eon eluded, rising and moving a little way in Amies direction, "if youd really let father see that you needed the money seriously instead of let ting mm see mat you were trying lo vamp it out of him, he'd prob ably have sent it to you direct, and then I'd never have got a chance at it. Luckily tor me,-you dinn t By now the taxi was ticking away in front of the door, liut Anne con tinued to sit where she was, among her ruins, the tears spiling forlongly down her lace. "Cheer up I" Charlotte commanded, "If you really do mean business about being a dancer, you'll manage it somehow. Borrow the money from somebody. Or make Baum give you lessons free for having got up the class after all that's only ten per cent commission. Anne dried her eyes and steadied herself with a long breath. "O, 1 suppose I can wangle it out of Miss Hood. She'll usually do anything I tell her to do, if I frame it right.' Then she sot to her feet and stood for the better part of a long min ute gazing at her big sister. Sudden ly she flung her arms around Lhar Ictte, tight, and gave her a long, hard kiss. Then, without a word, she took up her bag annd started for the door.' "You're a good little sport, said Charlotte, as she stood at the curb beside the taxi, "taking your own medicine like that." "O, I'm all right, of course, said Anne. "See you in June. Give Wil fred my love and wish htm luck for me. "I'll do that," Charlotte answered soberly. Then she went back to the baby, whom she heard waking up. Girls Community Service League Monday -Cluga club supper, 6:30: volley ball, 7:30.

Taris sponsors crepe de chine, crepe Romain, crepe maro cain and various new weaves that have a crinkly surface. Georgette is as popular as ever, while lace is enjoying a t remendous vogue. Both the heavy laces, such as Venetian point and the lighter ones of the Chantilly variety make very lovely afternoon and evening frocks. These laces are dyed all colors and are iinmenseIylecorative. Wort h is featuring coats and capes entirely covered with black lace and Molyneux recently showed some charming dar k frocks with overdresses of fine cream lace. Color Is Everything In the last analysis it is th e color of the frock that we are conscious of first and re member longest. What matter the weave and weight o f the fabric, the gorgeousness of the trimming, if the shade be unbecoming? In choosing a frock let the first consideration be always one of color. Suit the shade to your especial type. Study it out until you are sure of just the right effect It is the first and last step in the path of being really well dressed. Beige and gray arc very smart this spring, both for morning and afternoon. Black is by no means discarded and is now brilliantly embroidered or enlivened in soin e way by a note of color. Odd reds, yellow and almond green are very much worn. Madeleine & Madeleine hare a new pink that runs through all their collection and Lanvin is part:al to her own shade of blue. ' Browns are extremely good, especially the cocoa I ones, while the more brilFant shades of blue, red and orange appear in the evening. White has never been s o smart as this season.
