justly so For what can be more annoying than not to know the matri monial intentions of ones own child Evangelines mother would have given a great deal to know whether her daughter really cared anything about Ross Everts and whether she intended to marry him That he in tended to marry Evangeline was clear but of course that was a different matter A mother hates to give up her child but even the most affection ate mother cannot be blind to such a combination of family looks posi tion and wealth as Ross Everts when thrown at a daughters feet and tac itly begging to be picked up and ac cepted While Evangeline seemed recklessly indifferent to her luck her mother being older was not Any other man in Ross place said Evangelines mother severely would have been mortally offended long ago at the way youve treated him and would have walked off and never come back and you know it Pooh Its good for him de clared Evangeline lightly He im proves with every snubbing Youll snub him once too often said her mother I dont care returned the daugh ter Evangeline youll drive me dis tracted lamented her mother How can you be so blind to your own in terests Youll get married some day of course and let me tell you that youll never get a chance like Ross Everts again Why any girl might be proud to have him to show a preference er her Oh I dont know said Evange line indifferently Then she yawned He has the finest eyes went on her mother in an aggrieved tone And he is so thoughtful Is he Inquired Evangeline ab sently Look at the lovely things he has done for you said her mother I should think that would touch you Right on top of his giving you a din ner and theater party you forget an engagement with him and go away with Ted White who doesnt amount to a row of pins Im surprised that Ross Everts ever came to see you again Well remarked Evangeline I could have managed to exist if he hadnt He isnt exactly the light of the world to me There are lots of interesting people on earth besides Ross Everts You certainly have been hypnotized by him mother I think said her parent with dig nity that I have sense enough if you havent to appreciate a fine young young man when I see him Dont you really like hli Evangeline Oh I dont know returned her daughter Sometimes you get tired of so much devotion Tired of Ross Everts cried the mother throwing up her hand to heaven I wish some of the girls who are so crazy about him could hear you say that Theyd be certain that you were putting it on Im not declared Evangeline He Just doesnt appeal to me I dont see that he is a bit different or better than half a dozen others I dont understand you in the least Evangeline her mother returned Still its your own affair If you dont like him you dont though I must say I cant see why you let him come around so much if he bores you Maybe youre right though we cant all see things the same way It really isnt so much his looks its just his expression When you come down to it his eyes are more green than hazel Why how you talk cried her daughter Ross has splendid eyes Green Absurd Even if I dont care about him I guess I know his eyes are as brown as brown Well said her mother all right But possibly his having such an In come wont be the bast thing for him Money has ruined many a young man He may take to drink or to gambling In stocks or something equally Mother Im surprised at you broke In Evangeline You certainly havent observed him much not to know that Ross Everts has the strongest sort of a character and sim ply could do nothing underhanded or small or foolish As for his being so devoted com mented her mother you cant always tell I wasnt going to speak about It but while you were away he was running around all the time with Mabel Todd and people said I simply dont believe it cried Evangeline getting to her feet Why he wrote me that he was lonesome and spent all his evenings at home thinking of me Anyhow if you want to believe such stories you may but J wont I guess I know Ross Everts and I guess I know hes the finest most trustworthy person that ever lived and Im not going to hear mean things said about him Thats all right Evangeline said her mother beaming Maybe I was mistaken about Mabel Todd In fact I am sure I am because I Just thought of It on the spur of the moment I just wanted to find out something that you wouldnt tell me and I have Find out somethingl stammered Evangeline Id like to know whatl The man who marries happily may ha said to be transported for Ufa fflS t2 mwiajjwiJPtwiwwwi i wj iiflfc3wnrejreraiTttar gMaBMrTiEijuiLiim 1 sW fVV I A2frW I
