For all Lottie's artful planning,
dinner at Holiday House that evening was singalarly unromar- tic. There were no lovaly gowns and there was no lingering over A candle-lit table, no strolling in this moonlight. It proved to be the first evening aince the girls' arrival that no dressed for dinner.

Their departure from Grenada was delayed, the carpenters taking a great deal of time to decide final- ly that they could not begin work on the hangar for at least a week. The motor boat left the harbour two hours later than they had planned. Sam, the native boy, was at the wheel while Barry and Steve spent most of the trip in rather dis- gruntled discussion.
When they arrived at the house they found the table on the veran dah still set for dinner, the flowers drooping under the electric light and fireflies gathering on the ter-
race. The food in the kitchen had long since cooled and lost its favoursomeness,
"I sent the makis home for the night," Misa Gracie said, unper- turbed. "There seemed to be no knowing when you'd come. I thought you might have dined at Grenada."
"Well, we ens't tore those car- penters here for a week yet," Steve announced. "I was going to buy this girl a pair of monkeys to take back to New York-"
Back to New York! Monn felt her heart throb sharply, her cheeks suddenly grow cold. Steve and Barry were thinking then of their departure!
"Don't buy those monkeys yet a while," Barry sald hastity and Mona sighed, reassured. "We're not going to let Mona and Lottle get away for a long time. They haven't seen half the sights yet."
WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 1933.
"Well, they've seen what many a git in Port of Spain would give her oyo teeth to see anyhow," Miss Gracia interposed comfortably. "What's that, Miss Gracie?"
The older woman's fat face crinkled in a smile and her kind eyes were hidden for moment,
"This house." She nodded vcho mently. "Barry and Stove are popular young men, you know, When they come to our house-" "Did you over know a girl nam- ed Coleste?" asked Mong idly.
Barry and Stevo glanced at each other and burst out laughing.
"Let Lottle tell you that one. Barry, I can't do it justice,"

They listened to Lottle's divert. ing version of the affair on the bout but when she related the gift of Barry's portrait to Coleste the men became instantly sober.
"Great heavens, that practically constitutes Stove exclaimed.

engagement!"
"But she was honest, anyhow. She insisted Barry hadn't paid much attention to her," retorted Lottic.
Stevo rose. "Yes, that's honest, only a little too mild. You might as well say a man pays no atten- tion to a mosquito buzzing around him 24 hours of the day."
MACON GREETS DAWN ON FIRST FLIGHT
"I think I'll say good night," Mona decided, rising. "I'm tired, hot and have a headache."
"Anyhow we had a fine, trip." Iottie announced, as she rose to follow her friend.. "Well, good night!"
As the two girls mounted the stairs Lottie anid quietly, "At least Barry doesn't want us to hurry away
"Oh, I don't know!" Mona's voico was weary. "Ho could hardly have anid less.. Steve practically put us aboard the Miranda."
"He didn't mean it that way," maintained Lottie. "He really did promise to get me some mon- keya and I told him to wait until we were ready to leave,"

"Maybe we'd better go soon, Lot- tle," Monn remarked presently in a low voice.
"Before you've talked about the will or anything to Barry ?"
Mona spread, both hands wide. "How can I? I might possibly any something to Steve but. neither one--"
"Neither 0110 has recognized your marriage," finished Lottle, tising. "Well, I'm ready to go if you any so, Monn, but my advice is to get Inte action! Listen, to- morrow, I'll corral Steve and take him some place. That will leave you and Barry alone so you can talk to him. Tell him why you came. Tell him you love him. You do, don't you?
