"He's the kind who wants to give a woman everything he has when he's in love with her," she stormed to herself. Well, she could not ask him for things before they were married, but she did intend to have a ring.

her.
"That's one thing we can settle without delay," he said, glad to be able to take some direct action, "We'll get a ring to-morrow, dear. You'll pick it out, of course?"
"Alan." Phillipa breathed it thankfully, but she was too clever to gush over her success.
She gave a great deal of thought to ways and means for bringing the ringles state of her left hand to his attention. She could think of nothing that was not too obvious, And the next day she got her until Bernadine Lamont came back ring.

awed.
Phillipa had been glad she was gone. She was annoyed by Alan's devotion to Hobby. She knew that if the boy were about much, she would see a great deal less of Alan, No doubt, if Bernadine hadn't left soon after Natalie went home to her mother, Phillipa said to her self. Alan would have found the companionship he sought with the Lamonts, mother and son. Phillipa could not conceive of a love that would endure beyond the grave. She was absolutely convinced that Ber nadine would have tüken Alan if She had known that he was sepa- rated from Natalie.
He happened to reveal to her that he hadn't told Bernadine any- thing about it. She suggested aev- eral reasons why she thought he ought not to do it. Alan agreed with her, without giving the mat ty much thought.
Bu! when Bernadine returned, and Alan went up to see her and Robby, Phillipa had to make the most of it. She decided it was high time to get her ring and bring Alan to a definite consideration of their future.
Choosing a time when Alan was less absent-minded than usual, and consequently more devoted to her, she appeared to be nervous and downeast,
Finally, as she knew he would, Alan asked what was troubling her. "Oh, just a condition at home," she answered in an offhand man-
ner.
Alan frowned. He didn't feel like delving into trouble, but he considered it his duty to do as much for Phillipa as she had done for him. And she never had failed to be interested in his affairs, even when they were dreariest. Of rourse, lately, while he had been living in a sort of shell of resig- nation, he hadn't accded much com- forting.
Curious, he thought idly,
this
| lethargic state had seemed to come upon him with their engagement, with the setting of his fate, as it were.
"What is it, dear?" he pressed, using the only endearing term he applied to her since she had prom- ised to marry him.
"The same old trouble, if you must know," Phillipa answered with a realy show of impatience, "Yes?" he encouraged her. "You know I had to tell the folks at home that we're going to be married-some day," she explained, not without a touch of acrimony in her voice. "They wouldn't have al- lowed me to continue going about with you if hadn't told them," she went on, talking fast.
Alan said: "I know; you told me about it."
"Well," Phillipal burst out; "they're beginning to act as though they think I lied to them; that we're not engaged at all!” "Nonsense."
"Of course, it's nonsense, but it's terribly disturbing just the same. If only they'd come right out and say what they think, I could con. vince them that I told the truth"

Phillipa shook her head.
