But she thought of a girl she knew, named Emmaline Luce, who had a baby nearly every year and raised them on "Dr. West's Worda to Mothers." "

It is strange the way a little thing can change your whole life. If Molly Burnham bad not read that poem the day, she was graduated, everything would have been entirely different. She'd have married and settled down, most likely,

And she thought of Jack Wells, chance that Molly saw it at all. It and how much she loved him was on the woman's page of a morn And wondered if she, too, might ing newspaper. The wonder is that marry and settle down like Molly had time even to glance at Emmaline and grow mediocre and the headlines on that eventful day, | dull

Suddenly Molly's eyes fell on a there was the luncheon that Clau- little verse: dia Cabo: gave for her bridesmaids. Claudia was getting married the next day in College Chapel and Molly was to be maid of honour. Her dress was that lovely new shade of green that looks like creme de menthe with creant drifting through it. It made Molly's eyes, which are grey sometimes and blue other! times, as green as anything. Molly loved green eyes. She the Lorelet and all sirens had green eyes and auburn hair,

Only Molly's hair isn't auburn, but brown, with streaks in it about the colour of red fox, which, may not sound alluring when you read about it but really is extraor dinarily effective. Especially with straight black eyebrows and eyes like Molly's.

They say Molly got more from bids that year than anyone else in college. She had stepped at Prince- ton and West Point, and had been to Dartmouth Winter Carnival. But, mostly, Molly had a liking for Harvard. That was because Wells was a Harvard man.

Jack had been working a year but still was as poor as a church mouse. He was coming out that] afternoon to take Molly to the pre- sident's tea... Heavens, what a day! A sorority breakfast, al bridesmaids' luncheon--and now they president's ten.

Molly in a way pitied Claudia Cabot, getting married right on top. of being graduated. It must be pretty nice, though, marrying money. Not that Claudia cared. APRG She had enough of it herself. "Waan't it always like that?-the more you had the more you got Now if only Jack had a rich father or something. Or if Molly were an heiress like Claudia Cabot.. Oh, well

Molly glanced at her watch. She had an appointment at the Dean's office at two-thirty.

She leaned toward the mirror. her Wiped a bit of rouge from lips, powered her, nose thought- fully. What under the sun did the Dean want?

On the way out she lingered in the lobby a moment. It was reeked crowded. with girls and with the sweetness of Commence- ment offerings-flowers and per- fumes. Molly felt a sudden pang. After all, college had been home to her for four years. She would miss it dreadfully.

"Ask Mr. Wells, if he before I get back, to wait for me here," she told the maid, and waved to a group that hailed her Joynusiy.

"Hey, "Molly, walt a minute.". "Can't," she told them. "The Dean-no less-is paging me.”

She had a sort of lump in heri throat. A silly thing. She was, at times, absurdly sentimental. Just seeing the girls like that, all together, made her think how! lonely she was going to be when abe couldn't see them any more.

It was open at the woman's page, and she noted idly that Dr. West had something to say aboutį the care of babies in summer. And Aunt Emily held, in her column, that a man could not respect a girl who indulged in promiscuous kissing. She read a letter from "Mother of Eight,"
