Dell considered, "Green," she said, solemnly, and Dob knew that the filmy creation she would wear to the natters' masked ball would bo yellow. It was Dell's way nowadays to tease him In this manner. They were both very young, and nob was very much In love. "Green," repeated nob, Just ns If ho believed It. "Then you will wnnt to wear white lloweru, eh? What's tho matter with Illy of the valley?" Dell shook her Btinny head. "They're too much like bridal bouquetH," she said, flippantly. "You don't seem to havo much re Hpcet for bridal bouquets," ho drawled, "I thought girls wcro rather keen nbout that sort of thing." "Did you?" asked Dell sweetly. "When you are older, by dear nobby, you will havo mot a number of girls and then you will realize that not all of them aro Ilko Pussy Datter." "What's the matter with Pussy Datter?" demanded Rob. "I'm sure I don't know! It' must be becntiBo she hns been a bridesmaid so many times thnt makes her posi tively silly nbout weddings." "I thought nil girls wero that way," growled nob. "Perhaps your acquaintance Is lim ited. There's Pussy, who la fond of weddings, and there's me." ' "And you arc not?" "Dear me, no!" Tlob frowned. "If you don't want nny bridal lloworB to wear with your green perhnps a few yards of smllax might answer," ho said, glumly. Dell lnughed gayly. "I'd feel like n 'chandelier decorated for a wedding," she declared. ' "What shall It be?" " "Violets." HiHd Dqll. "Very well. Hut remember, Doll, ;some day I shall send you lilies ol ,ho vnlley nnd you'll too glad to wear !them!" declared Mr. Gaines. "Well!" cried Dell a little breath Hessly after 'ho had gone. "What 18 'the boy thinking of?" nob stopped nt the florists nnd or- ;dercd violets. As ho went out of the jshop ho picked up a small booklet from tho counter and Idly scanned It .as he rodo uptown. ' It was a book for the sentimentalist. In It were set forth the fourteen Inr portnnt wedding anniversaries, from cotton to diamond. Also birth-month flowers and their expression. - Hob Gaines read thnt llly-of-the-vnl-ley meant success In love. "Violets imenn murage." Ho wondeicd If Dell know thnt, too. ,301110 girls might, if they wcro ro ;nanMc "If lolots signify courngc she stig .gesfed violets, and sho must have meant to encournge me," he reasoned. That evening ho called her on the (telephone "What do violets mean?' 'ho asked solemnly. ( "About two dollars," sho said wick edly. ' "Oh, pshaw! I mean the scntlmcn ,tal meaning you know!" "Oh, I did ask you for violets, didn't I?" "Yes." "Well, I've changed my mind, Bob. .Bring me any flowers you care to." The next morning Bob stopped In tho florist's nnd ordered a brldnl bou quet, made up of lilies of tho valley. to bo sent to Miss won Mooro ror tnoj natters' ball. His card went with it, "I shnll hold you to your promise." ho scribbled on It. It was not ensy to find Miss Mooro nt tho Dattors' ball. There were so many slim young creatures that might be Dell. Ttob Gnlnes, dressed as a cnvaller, pursued a green gown through a crowded room and cornered It in nn r.leovo. Ho recognized tho golden glint of hnlr nnd tho set of the ears behind tho lnrgo white entin mask. "Dell," he reproached her, "you aro wearing daffodils!" "Am I?" sho asked pertly. "I thought they wero orchids, really, I did!" "They look horrid' with thnt green gown you look llko nn egg salad," ho pursued cruelly. "Thnnlcs," sho murmured. "You promised to wear my flowers If they harmonized with your gown." "I never did!" sho denied. "Dell!" "Hut my nnmo Isn't Doll!" "What Is it, then?" "Nell Gnlnos yes, your own sister, Hobby! Ah, It was your own fault, sir you did insist!" "Awful!" commented Bobby, his head turning hero and thoio In search of Dell Mooro. "Hut why tho brhlo?" asked Noll coolly. i "Whnt brhlo " ho turned quickly. Coming slowly toward his corner was n slender young form whoso car rlngo ho recognized at once. Sho was gowned in whlto saMn, nnd from her head tl'cio nwnyed a thick veil of wlilto tullo nnd oriinTo blossoms. Her fneo was entirely hidden behind a mask. In hor lwtid sho carried n br'dal bouquet of lilies of tho VHlloy, It vs3 hid hcuquot and they match ud l.rr govn! "Nell!" ho auld to his slstor hur riedly, "won't you boat It? There's a dear! It's Doll, and she'B coming to -me'" Nell squeezed his hand. I -Sm Dealers in All Kinds of . . Builders9 Hardware, Plumbing Goods, .
