Thus, Polly , WIntergreen, planning In hef village t r home a trip to the city to buy a new . "hat, and big John Brand, home for i the first time in many years from tne West, little knew In their hearts that irate was aiyiy arawing tnem te ''; gether. V- -f Perhaps , If Polly had known, she V might have remained In Falrvllle. For 'her knowledge of love and its ways ' had been gained entirely from certain books, flrst censored by Aunt. Electa, i From these tales Polly learned that : ';; Ideal lovers approached their fair ones v !, always.in an attitude of reverent horn "i age. Foreknowledge 'of John Brand's '; ; confident manner of claiming his own v might therefore have deterred a ; frightened Polly from visiting the city. ' . - John himself, fresh from the life of the great outdoors, would have scoffed :'. at being drawn under any clrcum f .stances into the accented atmosphere . . of a ladle? millinery parlor yet here . they both were, with Fate preparing - ' to fling her net v In Polly's sheltered life, the buying ' . of a hat was an adventure. So, her f cheeks flushed with excitement and her eyes sparkled in pleasure as she wandered from table to table, select Sing those to be tried on. J' Big John, waiting frownlngly on V' a satin-covered sofa, was overlooked. - J With the memory of those perfect he roes stamped upon her mind, there ' was nothing in the Westerner's appear ance to arouse Polly's Interest She selected a velvet turban from 4 a stnnd at his side, and proceeded to draw It down over her fluffy hnlr. The . effect was charming. The Westerner, who hnd been regarding hnlf-con-teniptunusly the girl's frnll daintiness, ' snt up suddenly with new attention. . There wns an expression In the dewy ", eyes beneath the turlmn's brim which ' he hnd never seen before. Hnlf shy -. wns the look, and wholly appealing. John Brand hnd known mnny worn ; i en efllrlent, good nnil clever. But their eyes hnd not shone with thnt . self-sncrlflelng womanly light, or so the Westerner thought, for fate, you see, was holding the mirror. He wns obliged to see the manager of this grent department store upon a mutter of business; his Impntlence ,led him In the chase to the millinery i department, . where It wns said that .worthy could be found. , Hls Impntlence vanished as he ; ' leaned back, watching Pplly as she sur- iveyed her own reflected face. "I like this shape very much," she . said. "It is great 1" the Westerner genial . ly commented. Polly wheeled about flushing rosily ; She had fancied herself speaking to the saleswoman, who was not now near. Tve got a picture of my mother," J he went on, "with a little velvet thing like that on her head; it was taken years ago. She died before I was old enough to remember her. But you make me think of that picture some way the hat, the look in your eyes." Polly stared. ; ' The strange big man tnlshed musingly, as though he had forgotten , her presence. v'- "I would like to have this same V shape covered lh blue," Polly said. "I made the trip In town today because it is necessary to have the hat for a special occasion. Could you promise it surely for the day after tomorrowr ' "Impossible I" the woman answered, wonriiv. 'We are swamped with . work. Twelve hats promised for a " big society wedding tomorrow ; more the day after. It Is an unusually busy , , season. jouia you uuv mno uu yu-:- pie shape?" , . , "The hat must match my blue suit" " r Polly lamented. John Brand, upon his own side of 'i; the mirror, could not know of the v disappointment through which the ? blue-eyed girl was passtng. TiC. Polly had dreamed of the blue suit and hat she would wear; simple they . would have to be, but of a late fash 1 Ion. No other hat of suitable price ' k or appearance was available in her. V limited search. ; The train for Fair r' , villa would leave soon. She would , i have to go back and wear again among ; them all her old and faded felt , V' "I suppose," the saleswoman sug " r gested presently, "that I could per C ;'uade one of the trimmers to take the ? hat home and make it up for you af- j, ter hours. But they've been working :( so hard they are pretty tired" , ,;v Now, though John Brnnd could not ' ? realise in his experience of tho big things of life, how very real to Plly was her (disappointment In this In- ? stance, h- did realize ,the unselfish ' .yi ness of her prompt response. 'V A"OhvI would not think of adding i l' o the girl's work," said Polly. , "I will N - come In again at a later time." ' ( ; Around the Westerner's heart crept tlv a comforting glow. It wns ns though after long search he had come upon that which ne mpst aesirea. ? , . . .
