Pratt's deep voice repeated the absurd syllabics.

"Thomas, Junior-not very original, but the best we could think of. Somehow ho got the nickname and it seems to stick He's down at my mother'a with ìn s nurse over the week-end. Nanna'll bring him up each day. You'll probably sco_all you want of him to-morrow, Cousin Amos." "And ho'll want to see Cousin Amon!" Lludi appeared, smiling, amazingly young and cool and girlish in the fluttering green- blue chiffon which brought out so flatteringly the creamy tan of her skin and the red lights in hor close-cropped wavy hair.

As the spell was turned upon the others Linda hurried to the door where burst of laughter and talk, the slamming of the screen and noise of feet announced the arrival, in a single car, of the "unattached" girls she had as- ́sembled for her unknown' guests. With them, apparently unabashed by the feminine preponderance,

the last house guest, came rather
