Joyce played with Dickie in
the uardeii for half an hour after
lunch she retired to her room to
rest and read until tkne for
Neil's return. "I'm out to every
one. Roxie," she gave definite in
structions. "I don't care if it's
the Prince of Wales."
.M four-thirty she dre.ssed care
fully and t!ipn waited for .Neil to
I appear. She was pleased when
she heard him arriving at ten
minutes before five, an evidence
that he intended to take no
.chances of missing their appoint
ment.
I When he came in and saw
Joyce in the living room, ob-
I vionsly ready to go. his anxious
look turned into a positive beam
of pleasure and relief.
"Hullo. Frills, all ready to go?
Fine!" and as Joyce got up he
I iioproachcd her with the inten-
I tion of kissing her. Hut she
stepped aside and made it plain
jthat she preferred to avoid his
I greeting. To her relief he did not
; press the matter.
I "How's the Diisenhorg work-
ling? ' he inquired as they went
^o:it together. '
"Oh, it'.s all right,” replied
Joyce, imlrtf'rently. She went up
to .Neil's big blue car and waited
for him to open the front door.
"Don't yon want to go in your
roadster?” asked Neil in sur-
pri.-;e, stopping beside the car.
"No. I don't, I don't like the
color of it. " retorted Joyce, and
suppressing a smile, she continu
ed hastily, “anyhow. I prefer to
have you drive today.”
Packard got in and started the
engine without further delay.
'rh"v- drove down the main street
of .Manzanita where they were
greeted right and left by a be
wildering number of people and
Joyce was on pins and
for fear Nell would stop to talk
to any of them. After half an
hour during which she grew
more nervous every minute—
what In the world would, she say
to Neil’s mother?—they stopped
finally at a charming little bun
galow covered with rose vines
and surrounded by a garden of
beautiful flowers. They entered a
friendly, low-ceillnged room pan
eled In white with wide windows
framing a view of distant moun
tains across the valley.
Mrs. Packard rose to meet
them and Neil, kissing her, said
gently, ‘Well, mother, here we
are, came to make you a little
call. Frills and I.”
“My dears, I’m delighted to
see you both!” exclaimed his
mother, holding out her hand to
Joyce while she kept Nell’s In
her clasp at the same time. Joyce
shook hands with her and smiled
silently.
“Do sit down, children, it’s so
good to see you,” went on Mrs.
Packard, beaming happily as she
returned to her comfortable arm
chair in front of one of the win
dows. “when did you get back,
Neil?”
“Last night, mother, and you
het I’m glad to bo back,” replied
Packard.
Nell’s mother was a woman in
her late sixties, with soft gray
hair, and a face pleasantly fresh
and clear-skinned. Only in her
dark eyes could *ne read the
shad*w of »ast sarrows, md»gled
with present leneliness a«d paia,
Joyce thought, and when she' did
not Smile her mouth was set In’
•curves of quiet resignatien.
“Are j’(Ht feeling quite well
again, my dear?” asked Mrs.
Packard after Neil liad told about
hi.s trip. “Neil said you had had
a bad fall.”
“Oh," yes, I didn’t really get i
hurt,” replied Joyce, “though I
suppose I might easily have been
killed”
“Yes. it frightens me to think
of it," said' Mrs. Packard, a sha
dow crossing her face.
“Frills is looking well, though,
don’t you thiuk, mother?” ask
ed Neil. “Doc spoke of It t* me
today. She’s been keeping sert
of quiet since the accident and
getting in a lot *f sleep."
When they were outside the
house, Joyce, seized by a sudden
impulse, said to Nell. “Wait a
minute. I’ll be right out again,”
and turning she went back into
the house. Mrs. Packard who had
been sitting quietly gazing out of
the window, looked up in sur
prise when she daw her daughter-
in-law reappear.
Joyce ran across the room and
kreeling beside the chair, she
said hastily, before her courage
should go back on her, “Do you
... do you suppose we could he
friends, after all? Or has Frills
. . . have I been too awful?”
To her dismay she saw Mrs.
Packard’s eyes fill with quick
tears and a flush mount to her
forehead. "My dear, my dear,
nothing would make me happier
than to ... to be able to be a
friend to my son’s wife.” she
replied, her lips quivering, “to
have you want it!” She laid her
arm gently around Joyce’s
shoulders.
'•Pm coming again soon, alone,
and then we’ll . . . we’ll get ac
quainted.” stammered Joyce. She
ro.se and lifting her head nearer,
kissed Mrs. Packard lightly.
Then she ran oui of the room to
Neil.
When they got back to the
house Joyce was relieved to find
that they had no company.

Joyce, bored finally at ^>Ahe

er who was boosting enthusias
tically for the glories of Califor
nia, got up and said goodnight,
hoihng that Nell would remain
downstairs.
Packard immediately ^shut oft
the radio and announced, his In
tention of accompanying her. By
the air of happy expectation on
his face, Joyce realized' that she
was about to reap the inevitable^
results of her friendliness to
ward him that day.
She decided this time to take
no chance of repeating the soap
incident and when they reached
the bedroom she turned to hlil!
and said “Good-night, Neil, I'm
going to read for a while.”
“But, FYills sweetheart,” he
began, detaining her, “you’ve
been so wonderful today and—
I love you so! I ^want you so,
dear.” He drew her closer Into
his arms whispering the last
words close to her ear. “Such
adorable little ears!” he said,
kissing them again and again.
