Gall's house, a Jolly affair. Indeed. All
her old steadfast friends, you know,
who were quite sufficient to fill her
life; and this was the olght of the
gay little Mrs llabbttt's affair tn Nvw
Tork. How much better than those
great, glittering social jxLgeanlt waa a
simple, wholesome little bait like this
with All her dear girl chums. In their
pretty little Barts model frocks, and
all the boys. In their shiny white
fronts. No one had changed, and the

Arly, that she had fallen back Into her
old familiar life. Why, It seemed as
if she bad been home for ages and

At the end of the Hargent ballroom,
where Gall's sedate but hospitable
mother always sat until the “Home,
Sweet Home" dance was ended, were
the same dear, familiar Qalmk, which
Marty, the ft&rtst, always sent to ev-
erybody's house to augment the homo
collection. The gorgeous big one had
a leaf gone, but It was sprouting two
others.
Tremendously gay affair Every-
body waa delighted, and said so; and
they laughed and danced and strolled
and ate Ices, and said Jolly nothings,
and knew, justifiably, that they ware
nice and clever and happy young
people; and Arly Portland. with any
number of young men wondering how
old her husband was. danced consci-
entiously. and smiled immediately
when anyone looked at her. Gall also
was dancing conscientiously, and hav-
ing a perfectly happy evening. At
abont this hour there would be some-
thing near four hundred people In the
ballroom and the drawing rooms and
the conservatory of Mrs Babbitt's.
Hhe was whirling near the baloony
windows with a tail young friend who

in one sweep, can find the only four-

"Gkll!” she cried, almost dancing.
